The '''bookkeeper''' is an appointed [[noble]] who updates the [[stocks]] and [[wealth|created wealth]] screens with more accurate information. The bookkeeper needs to work in an [[office]] to do this job. The bookkeeper uses the [[record keeper]] skill, which grants the profession [[clerk]].

The desired level of accuracy can be set in the {{key|s}}ettings menu from the {{key|n}}obles screen (when the bookkeeper is highlighted). To increase above the lowest level of accuracy, the bookkeeper needs a [[office|meager office]]. They must work not only to attain an accuracy level, but also to maintain it. When first assigned, a bookkeeper spends a long time creating a full list of the stocks, but once done, it takes only a bit of time to maintain this level of detail (even at maximum quality), so most of Urist McBookkeeper's time can eventually be assigned somewhere else.

Curiously, a bookkeeper does not require writing materials such as [[paper]] or [[scroll]]s to perform his job.  Bookkeepers will be unable to do their jobs if they cannot grasp, though.
