If you are in the tax preparation business or work in bookkeeping but want to get a certificate or designation under your belt, now is a good time to dive in and take an online course from Knowledge Bureau.

Every organization that is accountable for tax remittances, including income tax, payroll and GST/HST or PST, must depend on qualified professionals to manage and provide financial data, ensure timely tax compliance, and assist with day-to-day business decisions. These ground-level professionals must be able to expertly analyze day-to-day transactions to record them properly into manual and computerized accounting packages.

Knowledge Bureau’s Basic Bookkeeping for Business course is the perfect start for professionals in the bookkeeping tax and financial services who wish to train their own administrative staff to prepare company books, or train staff to prepare books for others. It is an excellent course for those bookkeepers who may know how to run software, but have not taken a theoretical accounting course.

The student will have a sound working knowledge on how to set up a CRA-compliant bookkeeping system for a small business; how to analyze transactions and report these within the accounting cycle in a double-entry bookkeeping system using accounting software, and then present financial statements to the accountant for tax preparation and review. The student will also gain an understanding and appreciation of the professional and ethical requirements of a bookkeeper.

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.”
