Use a Bookkeeping App: The best way to learn is to get hands-on in your own time and use a bookkeeping app that's both easy to use and understand. No formal degrees, no qualifications. Just look for one that has useful features you'll need and not packed full of ones you'll probably never use.

Bookkeeper Launch is THE step-by-step system that shows you exactly how to setup your bookkeeping business in 10 weeks or less.

You do not need to have previous experience in accounting or bookkeeping to get started. There is a free workshop that helps you get started with becoming an online bookkeeper. The cost for Bookkeeper Launch is $249 a month for 12 months, or $2,499 up front.

Although you certainly can do formal bookkeeping training (e.g., online bookkeeping courses, relevant degree), many bookkeepers simply learn the ropes through on-the-job training. It usually takes about six months of practice to get the hang of it.
