Certificate

Bookkeeping Clerk

Students gain skills and knowledge in computer applications, accounting theory, and tax applications. A certificate as a Bookkeeping Clerk serves as an opening to businesses needing entry-level help year-round but especially during the extended months for tax filing.

Students are encouraged to continue their studies with the Computerized Accounting Certificate.

Upon successful completion of the Bookkeeping Clerk Certificate, students are able to:

  • Demonstrate desirable work habits including verbal/written communication skills, technological competence, critical thinking, problem solving.
  • Demonstrate ethical behavior and confidentiality with financial data.
  • Assume an entry-level position within a business to help in basic accounting activities with duties that may include data input in tax preparation.

According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, there is a projected 4% decline in employment of bookkeeping and accounting clerks from 2018 to 2028 because of technological change. Because bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks constitute a large occupation, there will be a large number of job openings from workers leaving the occupation. Thus, opportunities to enter the occupation should be plentiful, despite the slight projected decline in employment.

Students who desire to gain entry-level positions are prepared with the successful completion of this certificate. Students who are looking to pursue long-term employment in the field of accounting should continue with the Associate's degree in Business Administration, which prepares students for transfer to four-year accounting programs at the junior-level standing.
