Start your own Business- Bookkeeper
in this post I’m gonna give you some resources that are really great ways to learn how to be a bookkeeper. If you ask me how is the bookkeeper certification process? I’ll tell you that there are many different ways and consider that bookkeeping is not a regulated field so you do not really need a certification to be a bookkeeper.
what is bookkeeping: Bookkeeping is the process of keeping track of every financial transaction made by a business firm from the opening of the firm to the closing of the firm. Depending on the type of accounting system used by the business, each financial transaction is recorded based on supporting documentation. That documentation may be a receipt, an invoice, a purchase order, or some similar type of financial record showing that the transaction took place.
Basic Skills you need to have: First of all, you need to be detail-oriented and organized. These days everything is digital so you need to be comfortable with Technology in terms of working easily with related software, Google Docs, Excel, … and even working with big numbers.
There are many different businesses that maybe you did not hear about them so you need to update your knowledge frequently. The most important thing is how you can communicate with your clients so be confident and friendly; practice having good communication skills, I mean verbally and non verbally.
Cost to have this business: I’ll tell you about the easiest way that is buying Quickbooks Pro software that you can find in Costco and start to learn the software by attending an online class then you need to get a State license and open a bank account after that you need to have a business card and a website for marketing your business and all cost less than 500$.
How to learn Bookkeeping: There are many ways to learn bookkeeping like many courses in colleges or online courses that you can take. I’ll share the ways are shorter considering going to college needs multiple years. You can find Quickbooks Pro classes for free here and customized classes here; also, I find ICS bookkeeping course that is at a reasonable price.
