Years Of Success
The Professional Bookkeepers Academy is firmly established in Ireland for several years.
Here are just some examples form a wealth of success stories from our unique community.
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.

.
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.
