The Bookkeeper is an appointed noble position. He/she keeps track of the numbers of items in your stockpiles. The Bookkeeper uses the record keeper skill, which grants the profession Clerk.
To change the accuracy of the counts in the Status screen, go into the nobles screen, highlight the Bookkeeper position, and enter the settings screen. You can set a desired precision for your Bookkeeper's counts. The higher this is set, the more work is required. Above the lowest precision, your bookkeeper will also require a meager office. Your Bookkeeper will perform the "Update Stockpile Records" task until the desired level of precision is reached.

[edit] Room requirements and consolidating nobles
- While this noble does not require a dining room, they may eat at the chair in their office, and if so will receive a negative thought about the lack of tables. For this reason, it may be advisable to assign them a small, personal dining room or put a table in their office.
- The bookkeeper has the same room and furniture requirements as the broker and manager. Because all three of these nobles tend to have periodic idle time, it may be possible to have one dwarf serve all three functions, especially in the early years of a fortress.
