Education required for the bookkeeper:
Bookkeepers are required at a minimum to have at least a high school diploma, and increasingly more companies and business entities are requiring at least some college or an associate degree. The associate degree should be in either business or accounting.
A bachelor’s degree is usually not required but many potential employers will take on an individual with the 4 year college degree with the premise that the employee will make an effort to advance within the company. On-the-job training is one of the most important components of preparation to become a competent bookkeeper.
Potential employers also prefer previous accounting work experience, and knowledge of common spreadsheet applications is also preferred. Also, obtaining the Certified Bookkeeper (CB) designation is a plus, and many larger and some small companies prefer that you have this designation. The Certified Bookkeeper (CB) designation is awarded by the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers and presents to the potential employer knowledge and competency in basic bookkeeping functions, including overseeing payroll and balancing accounts. So if you are a Certified Bookkeeper, this puts you in a much more competitive position when seeking employment.
For more information about education required in the United States for the bookkeeper go to Occupational Outlook Handbook provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Bookkeeper jobs – employment outlook:
The bookkeeper job outlook looks pretty good. Growth of bookkeeping employment is expected to be around 12% between 2006 and 2016, which is considered average relative to all other occupations. But more importantly, 264,000 new bookkeeping jobs is expected during the projection decade of 2006 to 2016, which is higher then most other occupations. This is due primarily to the large size of this occupation.
Every business or company needs to have a competent bookkeeper, coupled with the fact that many bookkeepers are expected to retire, means that the bookkeeping job will be in high demand. Even when times are tough, and companies are trying to reduce expenditures, bookkeepers are the last to get laid off simply because they are an essential component of a viable company.
The best job prospects will be seen for those individuals who are a Certified Bookkeeper, and have several years of accounting experience.
