We feel passionate about the future of our profession and believe that one of our most important roles as a professional association is to encompass the interests of our members into the everyday functioning of our organisation.

Our role as a professional  association is to represent our individual members at every relevant opportunity and we are dedicated to ensuring that we all as bookkeepers receive  appropriate recognition amongst our clients, our peers, other professionals, the general community, and perhaps most importantly, by our own government bodies. 

Many Bookkeepers do not want to be accountants - they have their own special interests and needs and up until now have not had a dedicated association to represent these needs.

The Association of Certified Bookkeepers Inc. was formed to do exactly this, we lobby and liaise with government, tertiary institutions and other organisations that may affect members' interests.  The CBK  was incorporated in October 2003 as a Professional Association for Bookkeepers who are self employed, or working in Public Practice or Commerce as support staff to qualified accountants and business owners.

We are committed to growth that benefits our members and bookkeeping in Australia.  Our goals include advances in training and education (including Distance Education) for career advancement and skill development, to support and encourage responsible and accurate bookkeeping practices in Australia, to raise awareness of bookkeeping as a profession in Australia, and to offer resources that will assist our members to succeed in an ever changing environment.

The Association of Certified Bookkeepers Inc is an independant Not-For-Profit association.

The Committee Members are elected by the members at each Annual General Meeting.

The CBK has no connection to any other bookkeeping association in Australia.
