Licensed numbers professional
A public accountant is an accountant who offers services to the general public rather than working exclusively for a single employer.
Public accountants typically handle tax preparation, auditing, bookkeeping, and financial consulting for individuals and businesses.
In the United States, the designation certified public accountant (CPA) indicates someone who has passed rigorous examinations and met state licensing requirements.
We hired a public accountant to sort out our small business taxes.
