About the Book
The Bookkeeper Field Workbook is a hands-on, practice-first guide designed to teach you exactly how to do the real work of a bookkeeper — from recording daily transactions and reconciling bank statements, to closing the month and preparing accurate financial statements.
Built on the belief that you learn bookkeeping by doing it, not just memorizing definitions, this book follows a clear principle: 5% Theory, 95% Practice. Most pages are filled with step-by-step procedures, real-world examples, fill-in worksheets, checklists, and ready-to-use runbooks that you can apply immediately. It uses international accounting terminology, so your skills will work anywhere in the world, and is fully compatible with popular software like QuickBooks and Xero.
This workbook is structured around the full accounting cycle that every bookkeeper repeats. You will learn:
- What a bookkeeper actually does and the core rules you must follow
- How to set up a proper Chart of Accounts as the foundation of your work
- How to record every transaction using double-entry bookkeeping correctly
- How to manage Accounts Payable and Receivable, and keep cash flow healthy
- How to perform a perfect bank reconciliation, the most important accuracy check
- How to calculate and record payroll, including taxes and contributions
- A complete Month-End Close Runbook, following the exact order used in real businesses
- How to prepare the three key financial statements: Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement
- A capstone project where you keep a full month of books from start to finish, creating a professional portfolio piece you can show to employers or clients
Created for aspiring bookkeepers, career changers, small business owners, and trainers, this book is both a self-study guide and a ready-to-use classroom resource. Whether you are learning on your own, using it on the job, or teaching others, it becomes your trusted desk reference. By the end, you will have a repeatable system you can rely on, and the confidence to say: I know exactly how to keep accurate books.
