OUR PROFESSION
For too long, the bookkeeping profession has been woefully under valued. The DBA looks to change that through advocacy for our profession, promotion of the Certified Digital Bookkeeper (CDB) designation, and the creation of a unified community of the highest quality bookkeepers. We strive to build collaborative relationships between bookkeepers and the business owners they serve.
21st Century Bookkeeper
Bookkeepers of old, with their green visors and pocket protectors, are a dying breed. Old fashioned bookkeeping only looked backward, producing financial reports that meant little to the business owner.
The 21st Century Bookkeeper is the bookkeeper of future. These bookkeepers are proactive. They act more as an advisor: analyzing financial statements and presenting them in a way that helps the business owner affect positive change on their business.
The 21st Century bookkeeper is a trusted advisor that can bring untold value to the businesses they serve.
