FINISHED YOUR CERT IV
BUT FINDING THE REAL WORLD A LOT HARDER?
That's because the Cert IV is just the beginning, not the EVERYTHING!
Does This Sound Familar?
"I feel like a fraud/imposter"
Every client question makes you panic. You're googling things you feel like you should already know. The confidence you had after completing your Cert IV has disappeared now you're in the real world!
"Real life ≠ textbook"
Your Cert IV showed you perfect, organised scenarios. Real clients give you shoeboxes of receipts, mixed personal/business expenses, and ask questions you've never heard before.
"I'm drowning in research"
You're spending more time on Google than actually doing bookkeeping. Every transaction feels like a research project because you don't have systematic approaches.
"Maybe I'm not cut out for this"
You're starting to question whether you chose the right career. The gap between what you learned and what clients need you to do feels a lot bigger than you expected it to feel after your Cert IV...
Here's the truth: This isn't a "you" problem...
This Course Is For You If...
✅ You want to handle complex payroll calculations with confidence. Including RDOs, time in lieu, construction allowances, PAYG percentages, and superannuation calculations that actually balance.
✅ You need systematic approaches to messy client data. Master techniques for sorting through shoeboxes of receipts, mixed personal/business expenses, and incomplete records without losing your sanity.
✅ You want to master industry-specific bookkeeping challenges. From construction retentions and health industry GST-free supplies to e-commerce multi-platform reconciliation and professional services billing.
✅ You're ready to handle asset vs expense classifications like a pro. Know exactly when that purchase is an asset, when it's an expense, and how to handle the grey areas that trip up most bookkeepers.
✅ You want complete error detection and rescue work systems. Find mistakes before they become disasters, inherit bookkeeping chaos from previous providers, and fix problems without making them worse.
✅ You need professional client communication templates for every situation. Handle complaints, explain errors professionally, manage scope changes, and increase rates without losing clients.
✅ You want quality management systems that actually protect you. Document control, compliance tracking, and professional standards that keep you out of trouble and position you as the expert.

Meet Your Trainer: Kelly Berger
I've been bookkeeping for 15 years. I built and sold a $200k+ bookkeeping practice, and now I help other bookkeepers avoid the years of struggle I went through.
I've been exactly where you are; overwhelmed, uncertain, and wondering if I was cut out for this job.
The difference is that I had to figure out these systems through trial and error over several years. Instead, you get to learn them in a few weeks with my advanced training and proven frameworks.
This is the training I wish had existed when I was just starting out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from my Cert IV training?
Your Cert IV gave you the technical foundation, this gives you the real-world application skills. We focus on messy client scenarios, systematic problem-solving, and building professional confidence through practical experience rather than theory.
How long will it take to complete?
Most students complete the core training in 4-6 weeks studying 2-3 hours per week. But you have lifetime access, so you can go at your own pace and revisit modules as needed throughout your career.
What if I get stuck or have questions?
Every module includes detailed implementation guides and troubleshooting tips. Plus, you get access to our private community where I personally respond to student questions regularly.
Is this suitable for someone just starting out?
Absolutely! This course is specifically designed for Cert IV graduates and new bookkeepers. We start with fundamentals and build systematically to advanced skills.
Is this suitable for someone who has been in the real world for a few months or longer?
The question is, do you feel completely confident with everything your clients are throwing at you or could throw your way? If not, this is the course for you to fill in any gaps you still have.
Is this a formal certification?
No, it isn't. We aren't an RTO; however, you can choose to be formally "assessed" as competent and receive a certificate from Bookkeepers Support. This would require completing an online test and then investing in 1:1 time with Kelly to confirm you have absorbed the key learnings from this course. Since not everyone wants or needs a certificate, this is not included in the course itself. It is optional.
Are there terms and conditions for payment plans?
Yes, it's important to remember that this is not a subscription you can cancel; you are still committed to paying for the full course. If you are having financial difficulties, please don't hesitate to reach out, and we'll work out what's possible.
Ready to Fast Track Your Bookkeeping Expertise & Confidence?
Stop feeling like an imposter. Start handling any client challenge with systematic confidence. Your clients and your future self will thank you for investing in your professional development.
NOTE: GST is added to the price AFTER you enter your contact details.
IMPORTANT: Choosing a payment plan means you pay off the course in instalments. You are still committed to paying for the FULL COURSE COST; this is not a "subscription" option you can just cancel at any time.
