How To Start A Bookkeeping Business

To build a successful bookkeeping business as a sole trader, you are looking for between 16 – 20 regular clients.

When sourcing new bookkeeping clients we do not focus on “pro-forma” marketing letters or brochures because in our experience they are not that effective. If they were, everyone that did it would have huge businesses. In most cases direct marketing letters are treated like junk mail.

We’ve found that a properly constructed and worded website is far more effective than direct marketing. It’s easier to service someone who is looking rather than persuade someone who is not looking for your services.
