This program consists of the FNS40217 Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping as well as the FNS30317 Certificate III in Accounts Administration.
The Bookkeeping Institute of Australia is the only registered training organisation in Australia providing a mentoring Program for our graduates to launch their own Bookkeeping business.
In order to register, a bookkeeper must hold a Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping, or higher, and have undertaken at least 1,400 hours (reducible to 1,000 if a member of a BAS agent association), working under the direction of a BAS Agent or Tax Agent, in the previous 4 years.
Just obtaining your Cert IV is not enough! If you want to start a contract bookkeeping business you must be able to gain the relevant experience.
-
The Bookkeeping Institute of Australia will not only enable you to obtain the nationally recognised FNS40217 Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping but provide 12 month mentoring after graduation to help you start operating a contract bookkeeping business*.
-
Our BAS Service enables you to retain the control of the client relationship and you pay a per-BAS lodgement fee to our Agent.
-
Under this model, your client’s reliance in the legal sense rests with the lodging party. This means that you, as the underlying bookkeeper, are no longer providing a “BAS Service” and therefore do not need to register as a BAS Agent. Importantly, however, it means that you can continue to facilitate BAS services for your clients. If you want to know more just call us to discuss how we can help you further.
