Blog Post: Bookkeeper or Accountant?

Accountant - One that inspects the financial records (bookkeeping records) of individuals or business concerns and prepares financial and tax report. .

Full Charge Bookkeeper - Someone who can do it all; including compiling the data into the General Ledger and preparing financial statements.

Full Charge Bookkeeper looks a little different, doesn’t it? Why stop there? Be a Certified Bookkeeper! There are many “bookkeeper” programs on the Internet. Be sure you look for all the credentials and certifications. A Certified Bookkeeper sets itself apart from Bookkeepers.  I’m a Certified Bookkeeper and member of the only nationally recognized association that tests the students off site and no open book.  Not many associations can promise that.

“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.”

There’s a fine line between bookkeeper and accountant. Close that fine line and become a full charge Certified Bookkeeper. Email me if you have bookkeeping questions.
