Are both an accountant and a financial director essential for a small business?

Are both an accountant and a financial director essential for a small business?
Say we have a business, turnover of about £1m per year and net profits of around £300k. The total staff is about 30. The company has an accountant and also a financial director. I am slightly confused for the need for both of these positions. Considering the company is fairly small, why would it need both roles? Surely the accountant could also carry out the responsibilities of the financial director? It would be nice to discuss the possibility of why both of these roles may or may not be necessary. Thanks.

Answer 1 :
Financial Director decides how the company spends its money - or at least advises the other directors. In a small company, the duties of a financial director would be shared between the other directors, or taken by the Managing Director. An accountant records where the money has gone - this is a specialised job but is often done by an 'outsider' as it does not have any bearing on the company's performance.

Answer 1 :
accounts reconcile the accounts and books that a bookkeeper keeps you need to learn about accounts profit and loss and how entries can affect business profits etc
Answer 2 :
All a book keeper does is record your income and expenses and eventual profit/loss in the books by a spreadsheet or a software like Sage for an accountant to look at. They help with the balance sheets too. An accountant calculates the tax you need to pay and ensures you don't pay more tax than you should and they can represent your business for the tax man. They will know tax laws inside and out...bookkeepers don't really unless they are studying to become an accountant. A good accountant saves your business and you a lot of money whereas a bookkeeper just saves you time, most of the time you can do it yourself if your business isn't that complicated.
