Seems simple, yet sometimes confusing! What is the difference between finance and accounting?

These two disciplines are inseparable on many occasions. However, despite many similarities, they are different from each other. In brief, accounting focuses on the money itself, dealing with a detailed look at the company's books or past financial information, for instance. On the other hand, finance is a broader term, and instead of money itself, it deals with managing or planning assets and liabilities. So, if you are planning to hire someone to help you manage your finances, it is obvious that you should have a better understanding of these two fields and the specialties of one's working in each of them.
