Professional Boundaries for Bookkeepers

About Course

Every Bookkeeper reaches moments where a task feels just a little too complex, too legal, or too “this doesn’t feel like my job”. That moment matters – because stepping outside your scope can expose you, your clients, and your insurance.

This micro-course is designed to give you clarity and confidence. You’ll learn exactly where your professional boundaries sit, when to call in an expert, and how to build a strong referral network that protects your clients and strengthens your business.

By the end, you’ll know how to recognise risk early, how to refer with confidence, and how to position yourself as a trusted professional who understands both your strengths and your limits.

Staying in your lane isn’t stepping back – it’s levelling up your professionalism.

Great course for understanding where you need to draw the line! The examples provide a clear insight to where things start to get blurry in terms of acting in a professional capacity and acting in a personal capacity. If its not a area you hold professional expertise in, refer - if you have personal knowledge - leave it for a casual conversation.
