"I want you to know how much I appreciate the forum section of your web site. When I first began reading the questions in the forum I though people were reading my mind. It was so nice to hear that others are asking the same questions that I was thinking about. The forum has been very helpful in not only marketing ideas and accounting questions, but also legal aspects of having your own business. Thanks again for all all the support in helping to get my business off and running.

Today's universities train individuals in the complexities of audit, tax, and accounting standards for large corporations. Little is mentioned regarding the day-to-day accounting practices for the small business.

The Professional Bookkeeper designation recognizes such individuals with small business bookkeeping and accounting expertise in a variety of industries.
