Hi Morgan. Thank you for your posting. I'm a bit confused? I thought a bachelor's degree in accounting would make you a CPA and an associate's degree a CPB? Can you please explain that a little bit further? Thanks
Hi Morgan, thanks for sharing, I was referred to your chancel by Bookkeeper Bootcamp Thanks again to both of you for all your efforts and time and for sharing with us your experience and knowledge
Thanks for doing this. I have an accounting degree I unfortunately never used. Flip side is I should work for myself instead of have my employer use me as cheap labor.
I have been watching your videos this past week about starting Bookkeeping, which is something I've wanted to do for a couple years but didn't know where to start. I'm a homeschooling mom of 5, so being able to do this from home without having to pay $1000 or more for training was a must. Your videos are helping me so much! Thank you for these!!
Hey just got an email from someone who mentioned that you had mentioned me so I went looking and found this video (great job by the way) and of course I see the mention in the description, so I just wanted to say thank you! And I've subscribed as I've now watched a couple of your videos and they're great!!!
I followed the link from Cici's channel and I'm glad I did. I have an Associate's in Applied Accounting and have been a bookkeeper for 18+ years but have decided to take it virtual! You guys are great and I'm learning a LOT. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much! Wow, I'm sure you have some amazing experience and deep knowledge. Let me know if you have any specific videos you'd like to see about working virtually!
Hi. I am in my first semester studying towards Associate's in Applied Accounting. I am a little concerned about my future because I heard this degree has no growing opportunity in accounting field, and the pay is low (under 40k). Is this true? Thank you so much.
you totally made my day! I have been worried about getting certified through AIPB before going forward. Now I dont feel so pressured to get it done before putting myself out there. Thank you!
Thank You, this is a lot of help. I listened to CC as well. I have 10 years experience with QuickBooks, but am not certified. I am an empty nester and my husband and I just closed down a business and moved out of the area. I am wanting to stay at home and am very interested in starting a bookkeeping business. So far between you and CC I have gleamed a few things I need to do. Be blessed!
In your experience, what software is best for real estate bookkeeping? Keeping track of multiple properties with their individual expenses and being able to do analysis per property, while also having the big picture financials. Thanks for your input.
I haven't had experience with a real estate company, but I had a landlord who used classes in QuickBooks to separate properties. I think generally QB is the most robust, but wouldn't hurt to ask other real estate agents what they're using.
The AIPB certification is better for people with a background in bookkeeping or accounting. The national bookkeeper association is better for newbies. It cost 3k.
To make sure Amercian Institute or National Bookkeeping VS job training are the same.. I’m not certified but I got a job training and I used to be a bookkeeper for almost 6 years the only bad news is it was 4 years ago. I’m not sure if things have changed since.
I have been spending all day trying to learn more about bookkeeping. I hardly know anything at all but I think it sounds like something I would enjoy, but I am having a hard time figuring out how I should learn more before I spend money on something. I don't know a single thing. Maybe I should just go to a college?
I’m not certified as bookkeeper but pretty sure I’m willing to get it if it requires to get a job. But I have a lot of experience about it ho I’m watching now the part your say that isn’t required so I’m good! Haha I’m but I will like to have a AIP to be a professional bookkeeper
CICI lead me to your video I"m looking at being certified after I get my some money coming in. Thank you for all the Advice. Still a little scared of jumping into bookkeeping but can fail if you don't try right lol.
Yes! So true--you can do it! Definitely use RUclips as a resource to learn a lot about QB in the meantime. Good luck & let me know if you have any questions! 💗
Question for you. I'm trying to decide between taking a couple of college courses to prepare for the AIPB test or taking the AIPB's prep course. Pros for college classes would be that if I wanted to work towards an accounting degree I'm knocking out classes along the way. Pro for going directly to AIPB is that I'd be paying roughly $600 vs $3000 for the college classes. My concern for going with AIPB is just that I might not learn/retain as much without homework and regular assignments. I might be totally overthinking it so I'd love to hear your thoughts. Basically if you think just going straight to the source to learn more is the right direction to hear. Thanks!
Hey! Check out this video Morgan made on "How to Become a Tax Preparer" (ruclips.net/video/r_-3Q0AzXt8/видео.htmlsi=GIwR0kX8UwmCZn4o)! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hello, thank you for sharing all information that we need to get started with bookkeeping business. I was wondering if you know any company or entrepreneur that accepts on the job training?
Awesome I'm trying to learn as much as possible online and in quickbooks for free. I want to go to school for accounting and eventually be a CPA but I want to work as a bookkeeper or AP/AR while trying obtain my degree. Hope to land a job with no experience and no degree this year.
Love it. That's a great plan to get some valuable experience while you're in school. Did you see my video on the free QBOA certification? That's a great place to start.
Hello! I am interested in bookkeeping but I really don’t know where to start. I currently work for a financial loan company and I’ve been want to do something different with my life. I’ve never done bookkeeping or have any idea what bookkeeping entails. But I love to budget myself and sometimes I want to help my clients to budget themselves. But because of the work I do I can’t really help them with that. Legal reasons. I figured bookkeeping would be the best career for me. What do you recommend I do?
Thanks a lot you are wonderful i am Mexican anda i want to emigrante to Canadá in Mexico i lived in Cancun and i am accountant you help me a lot where live you
Your videos are very informative and serve as a great source of motivational support. I do have a question though...If someone has an Associate's degree in Business Management or Administration would they be able to use this as an educational equivalent or no? Thank you for any response you provide :).
@@daveedajane So cool! I'm struggling with finally getting it done with being a mom and full time employee, but I can't wait to finally complete it. Wishing you luck and your bookkeeping certification very soon!
Thank you morgan for the information regarding AIPB Certification! Any idea how to get the necessary experience (4000 hours) to be able to even take that exam?? I have no experience and am confused to how people would even get a job without training etc.
Hmm, good question. I haven't gone through that program personally, so I don't really know all of the details. I would imagine it's similar to an internship (either paid or unpaid). See if you can find more info on their website (or maybe Facebook groups with people going through it?)
As a point of reference, the two years experience is not required prior to joining the program. You can gain your experience while you are in the program and going through the certification process.
hey there im from SA and i also want to start my own business currently working as a book keeper for a year and i still dont have the confidence,when you start a business do you learn as you go or you need to have the knowledge for 'perfect advisory"
I’m getting my associates in accounting and I want to start a bookkeeping business after I graduate. Do you think that degree will suffice with doing bookkeeping?
I also have an Associates and it gave me GREAT insight into accounting which, in turn, enhanced my bookkeeping expertise. I've never sat for either of the certifications for Public Bookkeeper but I did complete my QB ProAdvisor in 2014 Desktop version. I worked for 2 CPA firms over the years and learned SO much about preparing the books at year end for tax return preparation. That part really wasn't covered in the QB certification, although it may be now. Planning to get my QB certification in later desktop versions as well as QB online, so I'll see then. So, long story short, personally, I feel the Associate's is as good as the PB Certification.
As Linda said, yes, I think that will be perfect! That's not the route I took, so I'm not sure all that's included in the associates, but learning your software (QBO, etc) is the essential part to start bookkeeping.
Hello. This is Rickey again. I enjoyed watching your current video about do I need certification to be a bookkeeper. Right now, I do have a Bookkeeping and Accounting business. Getting more clients is the problem. I hope I can get some advice from you on how to get more clients. Again, I thank you so much, and look forward to continuing to communicate with you.
You're welcome. I look forward to seeing more of your videos, and somehow getting some advice on how to operate my Bookkeeping and Accounting business, and also getting more clients.
Hello. This is Rickey again. I hope you have gotten my response from a few minutes ago. Thank you for your response, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos, and somehow getting advice on how to operate my Bookkeeping and Accounting business, and getting more clients.
I just wouldn't spin it that way. Like CEU credits and seminars, this industry often continues to educate, and these programs are designed for just that. It is not geared towards starting your own business. You would just be improving/educating yourself and hence become a better employee. Show your initiative for being a better employee and it will come off that way, regardless of where you see yourself in the future.
If someone has no bookkeeping experience or knowledge, does studying for the QuickBooks Pro Advisor test teach you what you need to know to get started bookkeeping, or do you recommend taking some bookkeeping courses and then the Quickbooks training? I got my associates in accounting at a University 10-years ago but don't remember a lot of what I learned.

Thank you for this video! Would you say getting certified in one of the National bookeeping groups be enough to work as bookeeper for an employer? Instead of traditional college. Thanks!
Hi Morgan, you forgot to add one more national bookkeeping group. What about The National Bookkeepers Association? I have no experience and no training. I was advise about this group to start bookkeeping training.
Hi Melody! Thanks for the info! I didn't know about that group, but it looks like it would be a great option. Let me know how you like it! Here's a link for anyone else wondering: bookkeeperassociation.org/
@@FinePointsBookkeeping OK. I'll let you know. I'm going to apply for training this month. I spoke to a representative today and I was informed that NACPB and NBA offer the same benefits, training, and certifications, they are sister associations. NBA issues the certification certificates, NACPB issues the licenses. Once I complete the training course would would qualify to take the certification exam. I'll let you know how everything turns out.
NBA is NACPB rebranded. They used to accept either the experience or the education, but changed that last year. Now the education is required. This can be done by supplying transcripts or by taking the classes through them.
Hello, I am thinking to start my bookkeeping business from home. I have accounting and finance diploma. I don’t have a company now. My question is that can I sign as QuickBooks accountants in order to get my certified pro advisor. Please let me know if it’s possible, I would really appreciate.
Thanks for watching! Nope, you don't need to! In fact, you're not supposed to unless you have special training/certification. I don't prepare taxes (but it's something I'm thinking about in the future).
Hello, I’ve been watching your channel for quite sometimes. It’s very helpful. I have a question about the experience part, right now my job is not bookkeeper but I’d like to get a certificate from AIPB or NACB my question is if I finish studying with them and pass the test how can I have the working experiences to be able to finish the course and get my certification with them? Thank you

Is it better to learn Quickbooks desktop or Quickbooks online?
I think QB Online is becoming the more popular version. A few industries (like businesses with lots of inventory) still do better on desktop, but QBO is improving all the time... and Intuit is trying to push people online as much as possible.
Thanks for your response and advice :)
