How To Start A Bookkeeping Business

Stumbling across your web site whilst researching on the net as been a
wonderful surprise, writes Kellie, from South Australia

“I have no idea how to start my Bookkeeping Business”. says Kellie

I have 14 years in Accounts/ Administration type work, and 2 years ago did my Diploma in Accounting

I have huge dreams of starting my own bookkeeping business, even have a name
made up etc

But I have no idea how to start.

My main problem is how to tell a potential client what I can and want to do for him, and how it will help him.

I am prepared to do all the hard yakka first, i.e setting up my office, laptop, MYOB, flyers etc

I just don’t know whether I should actually advertise myself as a bookkeeper who will only do accs rec and payable, bank recs, debtor control, etc, but maybe not payroll or super etc as I don’t have experience yet in that area

Is it unrealistic to advertise that I will take clients who have never had a bookkeeper before, who keep their paperwork in boxes etc ??

Is it unrealistic to advertise my services are for tradespeople only etc ???

These questions, and many more are answered in our EBook “How To Find Bookkeeping Clients”
