Hermes isn't an accountant he's a bureaucrat.
He performs the same functions for Planet Express.
Different terms for the same character job.
Does he though? We see Hermes, filing, holding meetings, firing and hiring people. He basically is running the business for the professor as well as stamping some forms. We don't ever see or hear of him doing anything with accounting or balancing the books.
He's always showing off graphs about the profitability (or lack thereof) of Planet Express. He pulls quad duty as HR, finance, safety, and general demoralizer.
