You can forget about bookkeepers being just an accountant’s administrative underdogs, they are innovators, entrepreneurs and change makers, according to the latest state of the nation survey from the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers.
The survey also showed the true accessible nature of becoming a bookkeeper. The survey found some 76% do not have a degree ,and 43% of those surveyed don’t have an A level.
The money is good too. Some 20% of bookkeepers earn over £40,000, and the vast majority (60%) earn between £20,000 and £40,000.
ICB CEO, Ami Copeland (pictured), explained: “Many of our bookkeeper members start out working part-time to earn extra while juggling other commitments. But, the demand for good bookkeepers means their businesses rapidly grow. These bookkeepers are changing their families’ lives and bringing financial prosperity to themselves and their clients. No wonder we’re seeing more and more people lining up to become Certified Bookkeepers.”
