Job Market Extremely Bright for Professional Bookkeepers

The quest for highly qualified, professional bookkeepers with sharp tax knowledge and financial stewardship skills is an important one, yet they are hard to find.  Knowledge Bureau’s professional certification and designation programs fill that gap and add value to tax, bookkeeping and financial services offices.

The future is in fact extremely bright for professional bookkeepers.  According to Service Canada, “Job opportunities will arise primarily from the need to replace the many bookkeepers who will retire and those who change jobs and obtain promotions. Other opportunities will result from employment increase. Experience as a bookkeeper gives access to administrative positions with a variety of tasks including accounting or financial duties. Furthermore, this experience combined with relevant training makes the candidate eligible for accounting positions.”

Knowledge Bureau’s Basic Bookkeeping for Business course, the first in the six-course DFA-Bookkeeping Services Specialist designation program, is the perfect start for tax professionals wishing to add corporate tax planning to their service offerings, bookkeepers who want to freshen up their existing competencies on more advanced accounting techniques,  or anyone who is looking for a career change into the tax accounting industry. It is also an excellent course for those who may know how to run software, but have not taken a theoretical accounting course.

In this course, students will gain the ability to analyze and report transactions requiring a knowledge of GAAP; an expert understanding of the accounting equation, T accounts, debits and credits; a basic understanding of the tax structure imposed on businesses; a sound ethical compass; expert organizational skills; the ability to seek out and correct accounting errors and inconsistencies; expert data-entry skills; the ability to research unknowns; and a sound understanding of financial statements.

Knowledge Bureau courses are robust because they feature practical case studies using professional software programs.  In addition, students have robust research opportunity:  to learn much more by accessing EverGreen Explanatory Notes, Knowledge Bureau’s online research library which features in-depth instruction on personal, corporate and GST matters.

Every organization that is accountable for financial stewardship must depend on qualified professionals to manage and provide financial data and statements, ensure tax compliance, and assist with day-to-day business decisions, including forecasting and cash flow planning. These ground-level professionals must be able to expertly analyze day-to-day transactions to record them properly into accounting software, which increasingly is cloud-based, and ensure their grasp of tax compliance – particularly payroll and GST remittances--is stellar.

Knowledge Bureau graduates can confidently meet the need for these highly-prized services in today’s marketplace.

Knowledge Bureau’s Basic Bookkeeping for Business is a component of the Bookkeeping Services Specialist – Distinguished Financial Advisor program.
