Certified Bookkeeper (CB)

Certification For Professional Bookkeepers

Increase your earning potential, enhance your standing as a professional and give yourself an edge in the job market by becoming a Certified Bookkeeper. Distinguish yourself from other bookkeepers and show that you have met high national standards and can execute a superior level of bookkeeping skills.

The American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers (AIPB) has established a professional certification, the Certified Bookkeeper (CB) credential.

By successfully passing three separate examinations and signing a written code of ethics, bookkeepers with at least two years’ work experience earn the right to put “CB” after their name. (The experience requirement may be completed before or after the examination.)

A CB has the proven skills and knowledge to carry out all key accounting functions through the adjusted trial balance for a firm of up to 100 employees.

Be prepared for the national Certified Bookkeeper examination. Master the skills and gain the knowledge required for certification through this 21-session program: 

  • Adjusting entries (accruals and deferrals)
  • Correction of accounting errors (includes the bank reconciliation)
  • Book and tax depreciation
  • Payroll—paying wages, withholding, depositing, and reporting taxes using the basic forms (W-2, 941, 940, 8109)
  • Recording and costing out merchandise inventory
  • Internal controls and fraud prevention.

Prerequisite: Requires some on-the-job bookkeeping experience or academic background in double-entry bookkeeping.
