Message: I am writing to you because I am a BIA student and am about to complete my last assessment for the Cert 1V. I am wondering if there is any chance you may have some data entry or similar I could do for you, to gain experience. I am applying for work but the experience lets me down each time. Any advise or feedback you could offer would be appreciated.

Hello Leisa

Thank you for your email

Gaining relevant bookkeeping experience can be a challenge

We suggest that rather than applying for bookkeeping positions, you apply for positions that have admin/bookkeeping duties and see if you can get some experience assisting the current bookkeeper with their work

Freelance bookkeepers generally work on their own, and are not in a position to be training other bookkeepers on their clients’ time

Even if you’ve been working as a bookkeeper for a company, going into the world of freelance bookkeeping can be a major step
