How To Start A Bookkeeping Business

Had a meeting with another contract bookkeeper today (we’ll call her Helen). Helen’s got heaps of experience in Quickbooks, and can also work with MYOB accounting software.

Helen approached us asking for help in expanding her own business. It may seem strange that we are prepared to help develop more “competition” for us. We do not see it that way. There is a huge demand for mobile bookkeepers. Many bookkeepers just do not know how to get started.

It can seem daunting making the decision to set up as an independant bookkeeper, and that is possibly why you would consider rushing out to purchase a bookkkeeping franchise. You can pay upto $100,000 to set yourself up in a bookkeeping business. Have you ever thought how long it’s going to take you to pay it back.

We’ve developed an effective marketing strategy to attract new clients. Already we’ve been able to organise some work for Helen. She’s a little apprehensive about helping our new clients, but she’s assurred by the knowledge that we can offer her support. So she’s not going out into the trenches totally on her own. Neither does she have to make a huge financial commitment to get started in her own bookkeeping business.

Bookkeeping is a simple, but not always easy home-based business to establish

We get all sorts of enquiries from people who think bookkeeping is an easy home-based business to establish. Well, it is simple, but not always easy.

We spend time and resources helping bookkeepers get started, and need to make sure that we are not investing efforts with the wrong clients, because that means the right clients may suffer. This is not only in our business of helping other bookkeepers, but when we are working with our own bookkeeping clients. Contact us here for more details

As long as the Australian Government is collecting taxes, we believe there will be a market for bookkeepers. Indeed, we are really working for the Australian Taxation Office, because it’s only as a result of the increased pressure that the ATO is putting on small business owners, that bookkeepers are in such demand.

With over 100 proven tactics / methods of finding clients we get results

We have over 100 proven tactics / methods of finding clients – so we can definitely get results. We cannot answer whether you can get clients that are willing to pay for your services.

However, we can get clients for bookkeepers, and we will only work with bookkeepers who are serious about expanding / establishing their business. It’s not really a competitive business – there is still more demand than there is supply for good bookkeepers.

Question: I’m a CPA in commerce working for a major corporate, and am currently on maternity leave and wanting to start a home based bookkeeping business.

I have around 20 yrs accounting experience and looking to start my own bookkeeping business. I am looking to test the waters with a view to eventually giving up my job and becoming self employed.

Do you want to start your business while on maternity leave, or are you intending to go back to full-time employment?

When clients engage bookkeepers, they expect a 100% commitment from that bookkeeper, it’s not a case of “let’s try it and see if I like it”.

Just like your employer has extended you the privilege of keeping you on maternity leave – seems like your commitment isn’t as solid. When you are ready to make a 100% commitment to your own bookkeeping business, then contact us and we’ll help you get started.

Had a phone call from a lady wanting some Quickbooks training. She’s been helping her husband, doing the books for a mechanics business. So she’s wanting to expand her income by setting herself up as a bookkeeper.
