How To Start A Bookkeeping Business

When you start your bookkeeping business you want to know what hourly rate you should charge

You’ll learn inexpensive marketing techniques with a higher ROI than traditional [expensive] marketing techniques

What surprises us is that bookkeepers ask us “what’s the going hourly rate?”. Well, hello !! Do you want to just randomly pluck a figure out of the sky, or are you running a business?

Hang about, aren’t you a bookkeeper? Shouldn’t you consider putting together a cashflow forecast and a budget for your own bookkeeping business, or is that just something you do for your clients and doesn’t really apply to you?

“I’ve already got a computer and my office is set up, so I suppose my only outgoings are marketing”, one bookkeeper told us.

Really? Is that the best you can come up with? No telephone, no software, no stationary, motor vehicle, or other expenses?

So what you are saying is that it doesn’t matter how much you charge out your services?

“I think I’d like $30 per hour!” another bookkeeper told us.
