			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You think you’re ready to go it alone? You’ve worked for a large company, you know all about bookkeeping! Are you really ready to go out there on your own?</p>
<p>We help bookkeepers experienced in using MYOB or Quickbooks source new clients &#8211; if that sounds like you, then we are here to help!</p>
<p>Many small business owners are looking to outsource their bookkeeping needs &#8211; they do not use the more advanced accounting software programs that are found in large companies, so you need to have current experience using MYOB or Quickbooks. </p>
<p>You can do a short course at TAFE to refresh and / or learn MYOB /  Quickbooks. Then you need to gain some experience using that software. </p>
<p>When you&#8217;ve mastered MYOB or Quickbooks you&#8217;ll be in a better position to start your own business &#8211; and then we can help you.</p>
<p>Bear in mind that when a small business seeks a bookkeeper, that bookkeeper will be expected to work very quickly, accurately and efficiently- all without supervision. So you will be on your own with no one to help you or answer any bookkeeping questions. </p>
<p>Without experience using MYOB or Quickbooks its doubtful that you are adequately prepared to start your own bookkeeping business.</p>
<p>You could, of course, consider spending $20k + on a bookkeeping franchise, but that still won&#8217;t give you the experience using MYOB or Quickbooks &#8211; and then there&#8217;s the ongoing costs in royalty/license fees etc, and still not guarantee of finding any clients</p>
<p>Maybe you can contact some local accountants or larger businesses that may be advertising for junior bookkeepers, and gain experience that way</p>
<p>Nothing beats the School of Hard Knocks!</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
