What do you think is most important to be a bookkeeper?

[ArielColmoreWilliams]

I’m so grateful for this! I’m really looking into doing this as a SAHM. Super valuable video ❤️

7 skills:
1. Tech skills: software, docs, etc
2. Be a learner / willingness to learn
3. Woo — be an effective communicator
4. Be detail orientated
5. Order (reliability, dependability, organisational — be able to prioritise)
6. Visionary outlook, what are your goals?
7. Grit. Be tenacious and persevere

Thank you!

As someone who has never even considered a career in bookkeeping, this actually sounds like something I might be really good at. I’m looking for stay at-home options, as my husband and I consider growing our family. This seems like such a great option that would allow me to stay home, bring in a good income, and do something that I could actually enjoy. Thanks for the cheesy metaphor, too. 😉 I love it! Can’t wait to check out your other videos as I consider this exciting new option!

Love your videos. I am not a bookkeeper, but I do some booking keeping for my fiancé trucking business, apart from been the dispatch manager. My golds are to learn more about bookkeeping noting that I Iove to create templates in excel or google sheets and work with formulas. After viewing some of your videos I have decided this is my starting point to grasp and further my knowledge of bookkeeping and to build my client list. Best Regards

I am a career switcher. Worked 22 years as an information systems developer. I would like to pursue being a bookkeeper. Where should I start with my learning that will begin building my credibility as a bookkeeper? Thank you for the terrific videos!

Cool visuals, great clear audio. I find David Allen materials for Getting Things Done (GTD) super helpful. There is a workflow chart PDF easy to find online, and it is applicable to just about anyone with something to do LOL. GTD is great for organizing, streamlining from your day down to your workspace. ❤

Love what you are putting out there. I actually just listen to the audio while I work on other projects. Just thought I would share that for you to keep in mind, YouTube premium let’s you do that and I love it.

Love your videos. I'm a student and one year away from my Bachelor's Degree in Accounting wanting to jump into Bookkeeping before then.

[lashaydavis]

I am considering pursuing this career book keeper. Am learning all I can about accounting and book keeping. And later on work on a book keeping certificate. But in meantime I am gonna get a day job in either Receptionist or Customer Service Representative and work on bettering my skills. 😁

Your speedy speech is obvious to me also as a Bangladesh . It is very informational. I like it.

[nicolestalker]

You were right! StrengthsQuest, now called CliftonStrengths, is the assessment that talks about Woo.

Great idea with the magnetic tiles, and I love the jump cuts (editing). Plus the content is super! Keep it up!

[joaquinvasco]

Thanks for your video. I'm new here, and I hope your recommendations can help me find my dream job as a bookkeeper. Thank you!

It is definitely okay if an individual inverts number sometimes (for example, as is often seen in dyslexia). Those individuals need to double check their work similar to the big picture thinkers. People who invert numbers sometimes are not necessarily excluded from book-keeping work.

[DreamFirms]

I like how everything was discussed clearly!

[Ursisunique]

I really like your channel. You have great content and great stuff for brand new bookkeeping business owners. Thank you for sharing.

Your videos help tremendously, Morgan. I am going through the QuickBooks ProAdvisor training. Many of the different pieces make sense and fall into place because I've watched your videos, and you have explained something about it. I would have taken your class in July except I just found myself unemployed and am watching every penny pretty closely. Hopefully next time works better. Meantime please keep the videos coming. They are an amazing help!!!
