Verified step by step guidance

Understand the roles of different types of accountants: Tax Accountants focus on tax compliance and planning, Financial Accountants prepare financial statements for external stakeholders, Auditors ensure the accuracy of financial records, and Managerial Accountants provide financial information for internal decision-making.

Identify the key requirement in the question: The accountant must provide financial information to support production decisions within a company. This indicates an internal focus rather than external reporting.

Recognize that Managerial Accountants specialize in internal financial analysis, budgeting, and cost management, which are essential for production decisions.

Eliminate other options based on their primary roles: Tax Accountants deal with taxes, Financial Accountants focus on external reporting, and Auditors verify financial records rather than directly supporting production decisions.

Conclude that the correct type of accountant for this role is the Managerial Accountant, as they are responsible for providing financial insights to aid internal decision-making processes, including production decisions.
