How To Start A Bookkeeping Business

The biggest hurdle to starting your bookkeeping business is FEAR. – What if everything goes wrong? – What if I can’t find any clients? – Can I afford to leave my current job?

How you approach your bookkeeping business is an important part of the marketing of your business.

We’ve had a call from a company in Melbourne (Spencer Street) looking for a bookkeeper to replace their financial controller. How hard is it to find a good bookkeeper in Melbourne who can handle payroll for 40 staff,using MYOB software?

It’s hardly a position for a contract bookkeeper – but excellent for a bookkeeper looking to move up in their career. The salary could be somewhere around $70 k p.a for a fulltime bookkeeping position

I have just finished reading the book, and I love it

I have the ambition, the knowledge, the resources, but the unknown of how other people conduct their first meetings is a bit daunting

On page 44 of our Ebook “How To Find Bookkeeping Clients” we talk of “one word” and mention that this would be revealed on our course.

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”
