As a bookkeeper, you typically work in the accounting department of a company. In an entry-level position, you may review financial reports, track the finances of the company, ensure the accurate reporting of all financial information, audit reports, pay bills, and reconcile bank statements. Entry-level bookkeepers often help enter new employee information into electronic databases, process accounts payable invoices, resolve payment discrepancies, scan documents, distribute mail, verify payouts, and perform other tasks as assigned. Many companies use entry-level bookkeeping positions as a type of extended training period where you do most of your work under the supervision of a more experienced accountant.
