Does Finding Bookkeeping Clients Mean You Are In Business?
You’ve taken the huge step of starting your own bookkeeping business, and you’ve gone about finding clients, so does that mean you are in business?

Then you realise that you have no boss to be accountable to you. If you decide that you need to go and do some shopping, or catch up on the laundry – or iron the kids clothes for school, there’s no one to stop you.
Working from home as a freelance bookkeeper takes some discipline. It also takes a change in perspective.
How you view your own bookkeeping business is crucial. For many work-from-home-bookkeepers they treat their business as some kind of hobby. They “fit in the clients bookwork” when it’s convenient for them so to do.
