Even the smallest enterprise needs financial control and reporting. Who else but an accountant can competently distribute finances and prepare the necessary documents for the tax office? In gratitude to the senior accounting staff, a professional holiday was created.

At these events, honorary accountants are congratulated, presented with certificates and diplomas, and thematic seminars and advanced training courses are held.
History of the holiday
This holiday was created in honor of accounting staff.Its purpose is to remind people that financial reporting and calculations do not happen by themselves. After all, it is chief accountants who have the main task of tracking financial flows.
The date of the creation of the Chief Accountant Day is considered to be April 21, 1994 – on this day the first issue of the magazine called “Glavbukh” was published. This is a specialized magazine created for workers in this field of activity and people interested in accounting. Every year, on the eve of the holiday, the magazine holds quizzes and competitions, where it raffles off prizes for its readers.
