The Bookkeeping badge recognizes knowledge in accounting principles, accounting for assets and sales transactions, liability and equity transactions, reconciliation, and financial statement preparation. A bookkeeper's job is to keep accurate accounting records, which supports a company's ability to manage cash flow, pay bills on time, and plan investments for the company to remain viable and thrive. Individuals holding this badge have demonstrated the skill and knowledge needed to complete the Bookkeeping industry certification successfully. FSW students completing this badge are eligible for a voucher funding the cost of their Bookkeeping industry certification.
