  1. An accountant (we’ll call her Jane), was saying that not all bookkeepers can help businesses with their bookkeeping. Jane continued with a story about Mary (not her real name) that had been doing the bookwork for her husband’s plumbing business.

    Does a bookkeeping course at college make someone a good bookkeeper?
