Question asked by Craig Jackson 8 years ago
Hi, I am looking to employ a bookkeeper full time, I am sure I saw an article or email this year by yourselves all about employing Bookkeepers, but I can't find it in any of my emails or your Blogs or Forums. Can anyone remember it or point me in the right direction?
Hi Craig this is the only one I can think of:

Unless you are looking to employ a bookkeeper under PAYE there's a directory of all accountants & bookkeepers using CB here:

Best answerHi Paul, thanks I did find it a bit later, it wasn't quite what I remembered:

I am looking to employ a bookkeeper under PAYE, I've got a few leads of where to look.
Thanks for your help.
Ahhh yes, missed that one.
Just one more myth not mentioned in the article, it's obviously worthwhile someone having a formal qualification when looking for employment but, as I found with both accountants and bookkeepers, experience and personal qualities are far more important. Also, these days, the division between accountant and bookkeeper is becoming blurred with many bookkeepers now preparing year end accounts and tax returns.
Good luck
Thanks Paul, good advise and my thoughts as well.
