While both an accountant and an auditor are responsible for the accounting processes of a company, there are some differences between the two professions. An auditor is responsible for reviewing the work of the accountant on a quarterly or annual basis, and is often hired from an outside firm to do so. An accountant, on the other hand, is usually an employee of the company for which they work, and the work done by an accountant is done on a daily basis.
