Veteran Posts: 197 Location: Where God has placed me	Hi my bookkeeping friends! I was just curious if any of you had any certifications? I am a bookkeeper and was considered becoming certified. I just wanted opinions on whether or not you feel it makes you more marketable, ability to require higher rate of pay, etc.

Champ Posts: 19623 Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm	I have my associates degree in accounting. But many people do just fine with no formal training or just the basic bookkeeping class and no degree. I do think it's better to get some formal training because there are some things that are necessary to know that training gives you.

Champ Posts: 19623 Location: Peg-Leg Julia Grimm	southern belle - 2015-11-18 10:09 AM Thank you for your input. I have a bachelors in business. I was just curious. Most degrees in business have at least some classes in accounting. I had to have 3 terms of accounting for a business management degree so I just went ahead and got both degrees. It was only a few credits more.

Living on the edge of common sense Posts: 24138 Location: Carpenter, WY	When I was in high school I hated math and only took a senior math class in summer school to be able to graduate. I ended up managing the cash flow between several banks and the Fed Reserve for a living as well as managing several multi million dollar construction projects. Just had a knack for numbers :)
