Bookkeeping

Accredited bookkeeping courses will teach you accounting, income tax and payroll, how to read financial statements and manage cash flow — and so much else required to maintain an accurate record of a company’s financial health and tax obligations. Bookkeepers are responsible for the day-to-day financial transactions of a business, on which accountants rely to conduct audits, generate financial statements, and forecast business needs.

Top-rated bookkeeping courses in Canada were until recently recognized by the Canadian Institute of Bookkeeping (CIB) and can still be used toward official professional accreditation. However, CIB sold its assets to Certified Professional Bookkeepers of Canada (CPB Canada), and an updated designation (CPB) began rolling out for bookkeeping professionals in May 2022.

“Former CIB members will retain their professional certification – Certified Bookkeeper (CB) – which will be treated as equivalent to the Certified Professional Bookkeeper (CPB) certification used by CPB Canada members,” according to CPB. “Only the CPB certification will be offered from now on.”
