Frequently asked questions
The Intuit Certified Bookkeeper certification is a professional credential that proves you know how to use QuickBooks to manage real-world bookkeeping tasks. It's designed for anyone who wants to show they’re confident and capable using QuickBooks — from small business owners to aspiring bookkeepers. By getting certified, you demonstrate that you can set up accounts, manage transactions, generate reports, and keep books clean and accurate — just like the pros.
Not quite — but they’re related! The Intuit Certified Bookkeeping Professional exam tests your overall bookkeeping knowledge, while the QuickBooks Certification focuses specifically on using QuickBooks software. Many professionals choose to earn both: one shows you understand accounting fundamentals, and the other proves you can apply them inside QuickBooks. Together, they make a strong combination!
If your goal is to work in bookkeeping, the QuickBooks Online Certification is the most popular and widely used. Many small businesses now use the cloud-based version of QuickBooks, so this certification gives you the flexibility to work from anywhere. That said, if you know you’ll be working with a company that uses QuickBooks Desktop, that certification might be a better fit. We can help you choose the right path for your goals!
To become a QuickBooks Certified Bookkeeper, you’ll first need to complete a set of online bookkeeping classes that cover real-world accounting principles — like handling transactions, reconciling accounts, and preparing financial reports. Once you’ve mastered the bookkeeping side, you’ll move on to training in QuickBooks and take the official QuickBooks Certification exam from Intuit. Our program combines both: it teaches you bookkeeping fundamentals and how to apply them inside QuickBooks — so you’re fully prepared to pass the exam and confidently manage books for clients or employers.
Yes! Employers nationwide — especially in small businesses — recognize the QuickBooks Bookkeeping Certification as a valuable credential. Adding this certification to your resume can help you stand out in a competitive job market.
No — the Intuit Certified Bookkeeping Professional exam focuses on general bookkeeping concepts like debits and credits, journal entries, and financial statements. It’s a great option if you’re new to the field and want to prove your understanding of core accounting principles. If you want to show software skills, you'll also want the QuickBooks Certification. The two work beautifully together!
It depends on your schedule, but many students complete the training and pass the certification exam in just 20 hours. If you already have some bookkeeping experience, you might move even faster. Whether you're looking to boost your resume or start a freelance business, you'll be certified and confident in no time!
