Do you have years of experience as a bookkeeper or accountant in your native land?

IPBC is in a position to help you find work here in Canada. 

With the tremendous shortage of qualified bookkeepers in Canada, employers want to hire foreign trained accountants and bookkeepers. However, they must prove they know the GAAP system and how to use the software that Canadian businesses use to manage their books. IPBC offers the solution to establishing your skills and experience.

Qualify to become a CPB Certified Professional Bookkeeper simply by demonstrating at least two years experience in your home country and by passing a multiple choice on line exam. Study guides are available for purchase once you register for the exam, in case you think you need a refresher. Once certified, you qualify to use the CPB Certified Professional Bookkeeper designation behind your name.
