Hi there. I am new to this forum so hope I am posting in the right place. I am a qualified accountant but had some interest from local people in my area to do their bookkeeping. I wouldnt want to do anything more without a practicing certificate from my accounting body so not going down that road.
my question is, what bookkeeping body do people use? I thought there was only one (IAB) and I will be able to avoid doing any exams with them due to my accounting exemptions having done those recently. They also cover the licence which means I can avoid having to pay HMRC for MLO (I think i heard that)
does anyone have any experience with other bodies? Sorry if I sound naive. I know bookkeeping but not the bodies as that isnt something I looked into properly until recently and would be nice to get some advice.
