Bookkeeping positions are found in all industries and at all levels of government, with the employed in local government and in the accounting, tax preparation, bookkeeping, and payroll industries. (Dept. of Labor)
The American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers (AIPB) has put together a test that one must pass in order to become a Certified Bookkeeper (CB) (aipb.org). Bookkeeping Workbook For Dummies acts as a reference tool and aide those who are taking the test in studying. According to the Department of Labor, bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks held about 2 million jobs in 2004. (bls.gov) Demand for experienced bookkeepers is expected to increase, because they are called upon to do much of the work of accountants, as well as perform a wider variety of financial transactions, from payroll to billing. The Department of Labor predicts that specialized clerks will be in much less demand than those who can carry out a wider range of accounting activities as organizations downsize and combine job requirements. Independent bookkeepers are in demand even during economic downturns because businesses realize that if they arent careful about their money, they soon wont be in business. (Entrepreneur Magazine) According to the US Census, the estimated number of small businesses who employed bookkeepers in the U.S. was 22,659,000 in 2003.
