Does completing a Quickbooks accounting software course make you a bookkeeper?
We were discussing this issue following a telephone conversation from a lady wanting Quickbooks training so she could set herself up as a bookkeeper.
In some ways its similar to an apprentice mechanic completing his / her apprenticeship to then go out and becoming a chauffeur. Just because you know the mechanics of car, but doesn’t necessarily make you a good driver.
So why does completing a training course in accounting software mean that you are proficient to be a bookkeeper? Unfortunately tutors at TAFE courses are promoting just that. We have met a number of people that have completed their MYOB or Quickbooks training and have been told that they can go out into the market place and set up business as a bookkeeper
There is more to establishing a bookkeeeping business than completing a training course in MYOB or Quickbooks accounting software. We are working with a number of bookkeepers helping them establish a bookkeeping business. For more information Contact us or email admin[at]yo2go.com
