subject: Accountants Can Now Make More Money Without Worrying About Bookkeeping! [print this page] This must sound surreal to an accountant, but it as realistic as it can be. Most accountants and accounting firms in general, have been hit by bookkeeper scarcity. The number of people choosing bookkeeping as a profession has been on a decline. The young generation especially seems to find this unattractive in comparison to other courses like law and even accounting.
The end result is that there are only a few bookkeepers available today. The experienced ones tend to be pricy and the ones who are new to this are simply not efficient enough. Although the bigger accountancy firms can manage this crisis, it is the individually practicing accountants who have taken the harder hit.
You will find professionals today who take on both the bookkeeping and accounting tasks for the client and as a result take on only a few clients. The new businesses that come in later are politely refused simply because there is no one to do the bookkeeping.
It is indeed sad that they to do the time consuming, less paying bookkeeping tasks when they are qualified to do accounting. It is equal to a doctor having to the work of a nurse in addition to consultation. But the thing is that it doesnt have to be this way anymore.
