Bookkeeper Jobs in Wayne, NJ

A Bookkeeper in the accounting industry plays an essential role in maintaining, verifying, and recording financial transactions for a company. They handle day-to-day accounting tasks such as data entry, managing accounts payable and receivable, processing payroll, and preparing financial reports. Productivity, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of basic accounting principles are crucial skills for this role. Having proficiency in accounting software such as QuickBooks, Excel, and other data management programs is also beneficial. Additionally, a Bookkeeper should have strong analytical skills to interpret and present financial data accurately.

While there's no required certification to become a Bookkeeper, earning a certified bookkeeper designation from the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers or the National Association of Certified Public Bookkeepers can significantly increase job prospects. It's common for people to occupy roles such as Accounting Clerk, Accounts Receivable Clerk, or Administrative Assistant before becoming a Bookkeeper. These positions provide the necessary hands-on experience with financial record keeping and reporting, which is crucial in successfully performing the duties of a Bookkeeper.
