Bookkeeper / Accounts Assistant
Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.
- Bank reconciliationThe bank and the ledger brought to the same figure: timing differences explained, errors corrected with entries, and nothing left to a balancing figure.
- Supplier statement reconciliationA supplier's statement matched to the purchase ledger: every difference found, what each needs, and the duplicate that must not be posted.
- VAT return workingA quarter's VAT worked out and checked: output tax on sales, input tax limited to what valid invoices support, the amount due, and the deadline.
- Month-end noteMonth-end adjustments that put costs in the months they belong to, and a short note for the owner on what was done, what is due, and what needs a decision.

Description
Every CertClue course follows the same seven-part shape: fundamentals, the role translated out of job-posting language, a real working day, the job's recurring rhythms, a multi-day simulation, the portfolio you build along the way, and a handoff into your next move. Here is what that looks like for bookkeeper.
