Question: What does a Bookkeeper do?
Answer: A bookkeeper is a person that handles Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, or Payroll. In smaller companies, the same person may perform all three tasks. In larger companies, each task is performed by a different person. In very large companies, there are often multiple people performing each task. The bookkeeper's job is usually to "keep the books" on a daily basis, and then hand that information off to the accountant on a monthly or quarterly basis.
Smaller companies often hire a contract bookkeeper to come in for a few hours each week, or at the end of the month, to do what's called "writeup services" -- basically entering all of that week's (or month's) transactions and reconciling the books in one fell swoop, rather than updating the books every single day.
Question: What does an Accountant do?
Answer: An accountant is the person who sets up the bookkeeping system, monitors it, and interprets the results. Accounting is more of an analytical process than bookkeeping, which is purely mathematical. The accounting process begins with designing a system that will capture the company's financial information in a useful manner without being overly burdensome to the bookkeeper. The accountant then monitors the system to ensure that it's yielding the desired information in the most efficient and useful manner. Finally, the accountant compiles the information on a monthly or quarterly basis, analyzes the information, prepares various reports called financial statement, and presents the financial statements to the business management in such a way that decisions can be made.
In smaller companies, bookkeeping and accounting may be handled by the same person. In larger businesses, one or more accountants typically supervise multiple bookkeepers. In very large companies there may be hundreds, possibly even thousands of accountants. One will be designated as the "Controller" who oversees the entire accounting and bookkeeping system.

Question: What does a Tax Preparer do?
Answer: Tax Preparers are individuals who prepare tax returns for individuals or small businesses. There is currently no special licensing or certification required to become a tax preparer. Anyone can purchase tax preparation software and hang out a sign that says "Tax Preparer" and start getting paid to do other people's taxes. When choosing a tax preparer, look for someone who has some other financial credentials and experience, such as bookkeeping or accounting.
Some accountants who specialize in tax preparation call themselves "tax accountants," which would indicate a greater degree of financial literacy beyond just buying software and hanging up a sign. However, be sure to ask about their background, since most states currently have no laws governing who can use the title "accountant."
