"Demand for full-charge bookkeepers is expected to increase as they are called upon to do much of the work of accountants. Those with several years of accounting or bookkeeper certification will have the best job prospects."
—Occupational Outlook Handbook, Department of Labor 2003-2004
Certification and credentials are important in today's competitive environment. The Department of Labor, in their Occupational Outlook explain, "Those with . . . bookkeeper certification will have the best job prospects."
"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.
—Marci Miller

Professional Bookkeeper (PB)

Today's universities train individuals in the complexities of audit, tax, and accounting standards for large corporations.

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