Years Of Success

The Professional Bookkeepers Academy has been firmly established in Ireland for more than 20 years.
Here are examples from a wealth of success stories from our online accounting training community.

Bookkeeping at its best with our executive partners

I felt confident in my bookkeeping skills. However, I thought I would need to go out “selling” my business and this terrified me – I was concerned about my ability to win clients. The marketing programme put me totally at ease and helped me determine my target market. This led me to identify a niche area that I had not thought of before.

Frances Browne (PBA Executive Partner in Co. Meath)

 

I was a qualified accounts technician, however I didn’t have the confidence to go out on my own as a bookkeeper. Once I joined PBA I received all the necessary training and support to start my own business. Being part of a bookkeeping community gave me huge confidence, as the behind the scenes back-up is always there. Now thankfully I find myself with a great business, working from home and weekends off to do what I want to do.

FAQ

We’d love to hear from you to explore how we can partner together to establish your bookkeeping business. 

In the meantime, here are some top-level points that will clarify the initial questions you are likely to have.

Do I have to get my own clients?

Yes, we work directly with you through a powerful and rewarding client acquisition process. You’ll be amazed at how successful this approach is…

Do I have to pay an ongoing percentage?

No. Our vision is to empower individuals to successfully run their own businesses and become part of our ongoing support network.

Is there a payment plan for the programme?

Yes! We can discuss options with you to engage with us in a variety of ways.

Are there territorial restrictions?

No. Our community of bookkeepers work closely together and you will not be restricted in any way to work in your best geographical area. PBA members will often refer businesses to each other.

Is there a demand for bookkeeping services in Ireland?

Emphatically, YES! Now more than ever, even to the point that it can be more relevant than the role an accountant has traditionally played. This is what we have learned from both the 2008 recession and the Coronavirus epidemic. SMEs need to constantly know where their business stands.

Can I use my own choice of accounting software?

Yes, there are plenty of great modern online accounting courses available. However, our course is award-winning, includes the highest levels of user support and is tailored to simply manage the complexities of the Irish VAT3 report.
