Yes — Hey Monika's content maps onto the same core bookkeeping skills the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers tests, even though it isn't an ICB-branded product. ICB places a heavy emphasis on practical day-to-day bookkeeping (ledgers, VAT, bank reconciliation, basic payroll), which is exactly the territory covered by Challenges like Bank Reconciliation Challenge, WP: Accounts Payable and WP: Accounts Receivable, and by Scenarios like The Seaside Shed and Willow & Finch.
Hey Monika has mapped its Scenarios and Challenges against ICB's syllabus through its own research. Browse everything at heymonika.com/resource-hub/library or see the skills mapping at heymonika.com/resource-hub/skills.
