Sergio, he probably said, " He's a counter." A play on words.

I don't know, the thing is that now I keep saying "accounter" and many people have heard and do not say anything to me. So, what happens? Who could explain it...

There is no difference between an accountant or an accounter
both are the same

Hey, I appreciate everybody's time for trying to explain this. However, I'd like to have some arguments from the moderators. Would you mind?
Thank you!

Hey you guys! Thanks...
so it means that I can say, "I'm an accounter" right?
Nevertheless, I'd like to know what is diference between these two words...which is the most common to say.
Sorry for being so pushy in this regard!

You can say whatever you want. There is no way of stopping you. Can you say it and be correct this is the question.

Accountant is a person who keeps, audits, and inspects the financial records of individuals or business concerns and prepares financial and tax reports.
Accounter is a word that I had hever met before. Before I read this thread, that is.
