Post What is a Bookkeeper?
hello
A bookkeeper is someone who keeps financial records for a business, traditionally in the form of ledgers or journals which are sometimes colloquially called “books.” While a bookkeepers perform basic accounting tasks, he or she is not technically a qualified accountant, receiving far less training and not being subject to legal certification. A bookkeeper may work for a business, or contract out to individuals and small groups, handling the books for multiple clients at once.

Someone who works as a bookkeeper is responsible for recording every single financial transaction undertaken by a business. He or she notes payments made and what each payment was for, and keeps track of money taken in as well. These entries in the books must balance out, with all of a business's income and expenses being clearly and concisely accounted for.
Thanks
