CPB License Requirement Changes

NEW Certified Public Bookkeeper Requirements

NACPB/Consortia Accounting School Certified Public Bookkeeper (CPB) license requirements have changed.

‍Courses
‍CPB license candidates are no longer required to take our Payroll Fundamentals course.

‍Certification
‍CPB license candidates are no longer required to take our Payroll Certification exam.

‍Explanation
‍Although we believe bookkeepers should be familiar with payroll laws and regulations, but not at the dept the Payroll Fundamentals course teaches.

Chapter 10 of our required Accounting Fundamentals course does address payroll computations, records, payments and Chapter 11 addresses payroll taxes, deposits, and reports.

In addition, most small businesses now outsource their payroll to professional payroll processors such as Intuit QuickBooks Workforce (Payroll).

Therefore, the course and associated certification are no longer required.

The NACPB and Consortia Accounting School CPB license website pages are now updated to reflect these changes.

For more information, go to consortiaaccountingschool.com and scroll down to Programs, then Bookkeeper.
