Accounting and bookkeeping training is available in Victoria BC, and provides people with versatile skill-sets which are in high demand. People who are trained in these fields can work for businesses across all industries. All businesses need to keep track of their finances, and just about any sizable business needs to hire an accountant or bookkeeper. Sometimes one person will handle both of these tasks, and in other cases there will be people handling each one separately.
Accounting and bookkeeping are the primary practices that concern the tracking and reporting of a business’s finances. These are ideal fields to work in for people who enjoy paying attention to detail, and working with numbers.
Accounting focuses on the processing, measurement and communication regarding all financial aspects of a business. Accounting practices can include financial and management accounting, working with different information systems, auditing and tax accounting.
Bookkeeping involves the recording of financial transactions, and the preparation of summarized reports. In this field, the individual will mainly be focused on working with single and double entry systems on paper, or with a computerized system. Bookkeepers will find themselves working with things like daybooks, petty cash, ledgers and journals.
