Uniting Bookkeepers Pty Ltd

Uniting Bookkeepers was founded by three Newcastle Bookkeepers, Susan Hart, Bev Holder and Julie Ferguson       , each having substantial practices and practicing with a collective of 45 years of experience.  We were concerned with the Bookkeeping industry having a low level reputation, and found that Bookkeepers operated with varying skill levels and very little understanding of standards.

We found a need for bookkeepers to unite under a single banner; the Bookkeeping industry is about to change and professionalism, standards, guidelines and qualifications are of a high priority.

Uniting bookkeepers was formed and from 2006 to date we have conducted workshops, monthly networking and information evenings, mentoring programs, finding businesses who need competent and reliable Bookkeepers and general support for the Bookkeeping industry.

Bookkeepers are about to become the next Para-Profession.

For Uniting Bookkeepers it is irrelevant if you have been educated at TAFE and University, or experienced yet unqualified. We want to assist Bookkeepers to find out the answers to these questions:

• What are the standards for a Bookkeeper?
• Do Bookkeepers deal with issues such as Depreciation, Hire Purchase, Fringe Benefits Tax, Business Activity Statements, Instalment Activity Statements and Taxation?
• Do you know your rights and obligations as a bookkeeper?
• Would you like to be recognised?
• Do you know your clients industry and claimable expenses?
• Do you have problems with the complexity of the tax legislation?
• Do you feel alone?
• Do you want to be part of a unique bookkeeping support and education group?
• Do you want to be qualified?

We are Bookkeepers for Bookkeepers
