The Black Swan Project

"There are firms that have been left behind because of technology. I feel it with bookkeeping, making sure I am using the on-line services and experimenting with new software programmes, especially with "I-cloud services". I think we also have to evolve in the manner that we perceive and manage our practices. I believe Ron is right, I think the old model of hourly billing will one day be obsolete. I'd rather be in the front of the pack than the back, struggling to survive." Cindy Kindret, KBS Inc., Calgary AB.

"I wanted to take the time to thank you all of the IPBC staff for all the work you do for all of us members.  I am so grateful to have won the membership in Las Vegas at the Simply Accounting Conference last year.  This membership which I recently renewed gives me the opportunity to be part of this amazing group of people not to mention all of the benefits of being a member.  Now with Ron Baker and IPBC you have teamed up to give five people an amazing opportunity to become Knowledge Firms and better themselves and their business.  I think you are an amazing organization, thanks again for all the hard work you put into giving us great opportunities to grow our business and ensure we are compliant."Debrah Burleigh, Debrah's Accounting Service

"I received a raise in my salary within weeks of becoming a Certified Professional Bookkeeper"

"Becoming a Certified Professional Bookkeeper has opened a lot of doors for me because it assures my boss and the employees that I have the education and knowledge required to be a successful in my position. I have only one bookkeeper association membership now and encourage everyone to join IPBC so you too can enjoy the many benefits that I have."  Cynthia Dilney, Whitehall Bureau of Canada Limited

"When clients saw I belonged to the IPBC, they went forward."

"I met with a prospective client the other day. When they found out that I was a member of an association they were interested in what I could do for them. IPBC membership tipped the scales in my favor!"

"Other professionals in the field are a wealth of knowledge!"

"I live in a relatively small town without nearby access to seminars. The IPBC members forum gives me access to the knowledge and advice I need to help my clients."  Carole Holtzman, Quesnel, BC

"I saved $1,200 on my E&O Insurance!"

"I was able to get a great quote on my E&O Insurance because I was a member of IPBC. The insurance savings basically paid for over 3 years of IPBC membership because for every dollar spent on dues, I got $3.29 back in E&O Insurance savings." Maritza Soles, Thornhill, ON

 

"The Knowledge Guide lets you know what the exam is going to expect from you. That’s not all. There are also several examples to clarify terms and methods. It makes it easier to plan how to study.” Diane Withers

I would like to express my appreciation of the excellent and valuable service provided by IPBC.  I had had a prior bad experience with another association and had delayed at least 3 years in joining IPBC.   Now I am so grateful that I did join IPBC.  The wealth of information imparted in the Webinars, the assistance provided in the Members Forum, and the personal support provided to me, as a sole practitioner working from home, makes the annual fees very worthwhile.   That does not even begin to touch upon the value and support provided by IPBC partners and other IPBC members.  Congratulations on a job well done!  Keep up the good work.
Dominique Dabolczi-Fekete, Bookkeeper and Tax Preparer, I Care Accounting Inc.

"I am very happy about my membership with IPBC, When I compare the information and available support from IPBC via the webinars and the forums to what I have received so far from CIB – there is no comparison."
Margaret Somerville, Oshawa ON.

"It has been so exciting since I become IPBC member and CPB not long ago. I have learned a lot from the member's forum. This is a professional association for interested bookkeepers to learn, share and grow."
