I dont know when bookkeeping became something that was "beneath" us CPAs but it's most certainly not. State boards should require that all bookkeeping be performed or signed off by a CPA. Perfect chance for puppy CPAs to start their own practices too, because the bookkeeper nana isn't cutting it.
I have yet to see a good set of cash-basis financial statements from a non-accounting major, nor good accrual statements from a non-CPA. The bookkeeper nana doesn't know wtf she's doing...especially for accrual-basis statements.
