Bookkeepers Mean Business

A Path to True Empowerment

Today’s world is fast and demands an expert level of time management in all areas of our lives.

However, if you are a small business owner, trying to find a way of gaining financial control and independence for building a future that provides both security and flexibility – how you spend your time is crucial. Furthermore, how quickly you can collect necessary information, and data can determine whether you are thriving or falling back.

In our experience, that’s exactly where bookkeeping skills come in.

That’s why Professional Bookkeepers Academy stands out from the rest, offering more than just a bookkeeping course training and upskilling and this blog will delve into the key points of that statement.

The Importance of Real-Time Financial Insights

One of the biggest problems small and medium-sized business owners face is the lack of real-time financial data. Many don’t know where they stand financially until the year-end, which often results in dealing with unexpected bills, search for loans, and in general scrambling for payments.

PBA recognized this challenge from the start. Co-founders Anne and Aileen Hannan, with decades of experience working with both bookkeepers and business owners through their cloud accounting software business SortMyBooks, noticed how small business owners would get a tax bill that they didn’t anticipate or struggling with covering unforeseen expenses. It became clear to them that relying on year-end reports was an outdated and ineffective financial management method.

PBA’s solution is simple but powerful: real-time financial insights. With its specialized training, PBA teaches bookkeepers how to give business owners up-to-date financial information, allowing them to make informed decisions every day, not just once a year. This and only this will get any business to grow, survive, or seize opportunities.

You can hear all about it from them directly by watching a short video on how it all started and why is this aspect a cornerstone of their programme.

Tools Are Only as Good as Their Users

You can find plenty of bookkeeping or accounting software programmes out there, but without the proper training, they are just tools. PBA understood that early on and offers the best of both worlds – a unique bookkeeping course and business training where bookkeepers will practice and learn while using their online accounting software SortMyBooks that will empower them to gain confidence.

This is where PBA truly distinguishes itself. Their programme isn’t just about teaching students how to use the cloud accounting software but providing expertise you need to interpret financial data and offer real value to your future clients. The training is hands-on, preparing graduates to handle any financial challenge their clients may face.

PBA is ready to dive under the surface with every student and makes sure that their students do not become just a data entry expert, but a financial strategist who can guide business owners towards success.

Work From Home, Build Your Dream Career – A Complete Business Solution

This one is a winner if you are looking to switch careers and start working for yourself because of the flexibility it offers. PBA’s online bookkeeping course is specifically designed for individuals who want to work from their own home or while travelling the world, be their own boss, and have more control over their time.

We are all dreaming about doing a job that we know and love, but very often end up doing it on someone else’s schedule. Well, what if that could be on your schedule from now on?

The career path that PBA’s programme offers gives you the tools, knowledge, support, and confidence to start your own bookkeeping business, offering services to small and medium businesses and it is a way more than just getting yourself financially secured. It gives you the lifestyle that so many people desire. It also gives you a chance to make a meaningful impact in the SME sector.

Remember we mentioned that this is a bookkeeping course AND business training? That wasn’t just a phrase. PBA works closely with one of the best business trainers in their network, Dan O’Donoghue from Asentiv Ireland South, who is an expert in helping people get market ready. This means, not only that you work on fine tuning your bookkeeping skills, but also you learn how to build a bookkeeping business that fits your life.
