Bookkeeping and Payroll Accounting
If you’re comfortable with numbers and pay attention to details, you can get the training you need to become a bookkeeper or payroll accounting specialist in 6 – 8 months!
As the economy starts growing again, more bookkeepers and payroll accounting clerks will be required. Renewed emphasis on accountability and transparency will further increase the demand for bookkeeping professionals. Bookkeepers and payroll accounting clerks record and track financial transactions. In small businesses, they may record all of a business’s financial transactions, post debits and credits, and produce the reports and financial statements used by the business’s manager. In larger companies, accounting tasks tend to be more specialized. Payroll accounting is an important specialty, because employee compensation is often the most significant expenditure for businesses. Employee compensation is complicated, requiring payroll clerks to track employee bonuses, overtime pay, workers compensation tracking, maternity pay, tuition reimbursement, and other forms of compensation.
Certified bookkeepers with on-the-job experience are going to have the best employment prospects as the economy moves into its growth cycle.
Do you have the skills necessary to take on this challenge?>
Success as a bookkeeper or payroll accounts specialist starts with attention to detail and skill with numbers. Most often this information is processed electronically, so you must be comfortable using computers and accounting software. In addition, you should enjoy paperwork and be able to work with minimal supervision.
The average length of time for a student taking a full course load is 2 semesters (8 months), but the program can be completed in 1-1/2 semesters (6 months). A minimum of 24 semester credit hours is required for graduation.
