Commonly Asked Questions
Have questions about joining NZQBA or how membership works? You’re not alone. Here, we’ve answered some of the most common questions Bookkeepers ask us, so you can quickly understand why we don’t require exams, what membership offers, and how we’re here to back you every step of the way. No matter which option you choose, you’ll get full access to your benefits from day one.
What templates and resources come with Qualified Membership?
Qualified Members get access to a library of practical tools – like engagement letters, GST worksheets, pricing calculators, proposal templates, and checklists. It’s all designed to save you time and help you work more confidently.
Is the Find a Bookkeeper listing included in the Qualified Membership?
Yes – as a Qualified Member, you can create a profile in our Find a Bookkeeper directory so clients can discover your services. And you’re in control: you can turn your listing on or off anytime.
How does the mentoring programme work?
Our 10-week mentoring programme pairs you with experienced Bookkeepers who offer advice, accountability, and encouragement. It’s perfect if you’re feeling stuck, isolated, or ready to grow. It’s available as a one-off for $699, or just $299 for Members – and only $99 for Qualified or Business Members.
Why don’t you test people to make sure they’re “Qualified”?
We’re not here to gatekeep – we’re here to support. Our members agree to follow a Code of Ethics, including only offering services they’re trained and competent to deliver. We trust Bookkeepers to know their limits – and we’re here to help them grow.
Can I upgrade or change my membership later?
Absolutely. Whether you’re stepping out on your own, growing your team, or scaling back, your NZQBA membership can move with you. We’ve kept things flexible on purpose.
Do I need formal qualifications to become a Qualified Member?
Not necessarily. Many of our Qualified Members have years of practical experience rather than formal study. If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, reach out to us. We’re happy to help you find the right fit for your skills and goals.
What are micro-courses - and are they any good?
They’re short, practical, self-paced learning modules covering exactly what Bookkeepers need – onboarding clients, pricing your services, AML compliance, and more. They start from just $19.95 and are packed with value and no filler. Qualified and Business Members get all micro-courses included for free.
Is NZQBA recognised by Inland Revenue?
Yes – we’re an Approved Advisor Group, officially recognised under Section 20B(5) of the Tax Administration Act. That means our members have non-disclosure rights and professional credibility when offering tax-related business advice.
Can I access support without becoming a full member?
Yes! You can purchase micro-courses, mentoring, or coaching individually – no membership required. It’s support when you need it, without the monthly commitment. But if you do join later, Qualified and Business Members unlock extra resources and discounts.
