Accounting & Bookkeeping
Amongst the oldest professions in the world, accounting and bookkeeping have been essential in cultures and economies for thousands of years. And it’s unlikely that accountants and bookkeepers will find their trade slowing any time soon – with international trade more important and competition higher than ever before.
For these reasons, the roles of accountants and bookkeepers are future-proofed and vital in driving businesses and economies forward. If you want to be where the money is and at the heart of a business’ growth, accounting and bookkeeping could well be for you.
What is a bookkeeping course?
Bookkeeping is an indispensable subset of accounting and involves accumulating, organising, storing, and accessing a company’s financial information. It’s all about making the numbers add up. Online bookkeeping courses equip you with the relevant tools to communicate the business’s financial activity, performance, and condition. Discover whether a career in bookkeeping is right for you
What is an accounting course?
The term accounting is much broader, going into the realm of designing the bookkeeping system, establishing controls to ensure the system is working well, and analysing and verifying the recorded information. An accounting course teaches you how to go about doing this.
ICB courses
We provide a range of ICB courses, teaching you everything you need to kick off your career. Why not invest in our ICB course bundle, covering bookkeeping, accounts and payroll?
Alternatively, if you’re not 100% convinced that this is the career for you, why not try out a short course before you make a bigger financial investment?
Why choose to study bookkeeping and accounting courses from home?
The traditional education system where everybody attends the same class simultaneously on the same day and listens to a teacher talking at you is becoming outdated fast.
By moving your accounting or bookkeeping course online, you’re able to study at a time that best suits you. So whether you’re learning around your full-time job, family commitments, or simply take in information earlier in the morning or late at night, the power is in your hands.
Plus, if you hit a snag or don’t quite understand something, you can book one-on-one time with an experienced tutor to help you get things back on track.
What opportunities are there, after I’ve completed my online course?
As we mentioned earlier, the demand for bookkeepers is expected to continue growing. As a result, there will always be opportunities for talented and certified individuals.
Options include working ‘in-house’ – where you work directly for one company; working for an agency – where you’re responsible for multiple companies. or working for yourself – on a contract or freelance basis.
