Certified Bookkeeper AIPB Using Intuit QuickBooks Online

Corporations and local organizations need qualified bookkeepers, who track all financial transactions: sales, purchases, payments, wages, depreciation, inventory, internal controls and fraud protection.

According to ONET, bookkeepers earn $19.78 per hour, on average. Top bookkeepers' earnings can exceed $60,140 a year.

Three of the top specialized skills found in job postings include accounting, accounts payable/receivable and bookkeeping. The fourth skill requested is QuickBooks®, an accounting software that expands the capabilities of bookkeepers.

QuickBooks® training is included in two short-term training courses at Wake Tech: Intuit QuickBooks Certified User Online and Certified Bookkeeper AIPB Using Intuit QuickBooks Online. Together, they can prepare you for the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers (AIPB) Certified Bookkeeper certification exam.
