WHAT IS A BOOKKEEPER?
Bookkeeping is a growing profession - it is demanding, exciting, challenging and above all, rewarding. It is about understanding how a business works and then providing accurate figures that enable the business to know exactly how well it is doing. For men and women of all ages and from all backgrounds it provides outstanding career opportunities.
A CAREER IN BOOKKEEPING
Every business, no matter how large or small, is required by law to 'keep books'. This involves the recording of the financial transactions of a business, whether manually into ledgers or by entering everything onto a computer. So, if you are well organised and methodical, like working through documents and enjoy seeing a set of figures add up properly, bookkeeping could be the career for you.
People of all ages are becoming bookkeepers: Young people fresh from school or college can achieve a professional qualification that opens up a whole new world of business to them or may become the first step to becoming a qualified accountant. More mature people bring years' of experience to their role and are in great demand from businesses who want a safe pair of hands. Many are mothers wanting to find a well-paid career running a bookkeeping business from home whilst still bringing up their family.
YOU AND THE INSTITUTE
The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers was established to provide a series of professional qualifications that reflect the needs of Business and the aspirations of people wanting to enter the profession. It exists to represent Bookkeepers at all levels and to promote the professionalism of Bookkeepers to business, government and the general public.
Becoming a member of the institute is like joining a club. You will receive strong on-going support from a team of qualified professionals. You will have access to free legal and technical advice. You will have the opportunity to meet other Book-Keepers and to update your skills through continuing professional development seminars.
The institute has more than 150,000 students and members spread across more than fifty countries, making it the largest BookKeeping institute in the world.
APPLYING FOR AN EXAMINATION
We take care of this for you. As soon as your tutor is satisfied that you are ready to take any given exam we will notify you and ask you to get in touch to confirm that you wish to take the exam. We will then organise this for you and pay the exam fee on your behalf.
Please note that candidates must take examinations in 'level order': this means that candidates cannot jump to a Level III Diploma in Manual Bookkeeping without completing the Level I Certificate in Basic Bookkeeping and then the Level II Certificate in Manual Bookkeeping examinations. Similarly with the computerised qualifications; candidates must pass the Level I Certificate in Basic Bookkeeping, followed by the Level II Certificate in Computerised Bookkeeping before they may apply for the Level III Diploma in Computerised Bookkeeping. The exception to this rule is for Payroll - there is only one payroll qualification, the Level III Diploma in Payroll Management, so students are not required to complete any preceding payroll levels to this qualification.
