The
Job of the Accounting Manager:
Leading-Edge Strategies
 The
accounting manager’s role has changed dramatically

accountants

and performance evaluation

- Develop team skills
- Collaborate effectively with other business functions

of accounting management, including the latest on IT/accounting
systems content and activity-based costing. But it goes much further,

ahead.
