Summary/Abstract: Recent developments and changes in the modern economy as well as falls and rises of large corporations have brought up the public interest towards the accounting discipline, and have resulted in a growing demand for accountant specialists as educated professionals. The aim of the present research is to find out what is the role of the accountant in the modern enterprise. The authors conducted a survey among Estonian accounting specialists and managers. The results of the survey clearly indicate that in most Estonian companies, accountants are actively assisting members of the board to make vital decisions, and their competence, knowledge and skills are highly valued by managers. The findings of the survey emphasize that Estonian accountants are highly qualified, keeping in line with the latest developments in the modern financial world.
