How to Open your own In-Home Bookkeeping Service
First and foremost, this
is not a get rich quick scheme, you actually do have to work. Success takes
time and effort, and if it sounds too good to be true, it normally is. The
information written on these pages are to explain and train you on what you are
responsible for if you open you own in-home bookkeeping service. They are
simply guidelines and steps to follow to avoid making embarrassing mistakes.
They are the questions that hundreds of people have asked me how to do.
I have some simple
questions that I want you to ask yourself...
1.) How
much do you make per hour? Are you satisfied with your current pay. Did
you know the average hourly charge for a bookkeeping service starts at $25.00
per hour? The best going rates for good bookkeepers are between
$25.00 per hour and $45.00 per hour. There are two types of people in the
world, workers and independent achievers. If you have even considered
owning your own business, then you have the ability to be an independent
achiever, not relying on "working" for someone else the rest of your
life. If you can't stop thinking about getting out of the vicious repetitious
circle of being someone's worker bee and want to make an honest living with
earning a decent pay, quit making excuses because there is never a
"right" time to do it. A great number of self-employed
professionals did not quit their day job until they felt secure enough to
go out on their own. I was one of those. There were a lot of late
night and weekend jobs, and I wouldn't change a thing. We have all been in
fear of the unknown, where your next check is going to come from, how are you
going to survive, join the millions of successful business owners who have gone
through that day in and day out, yet are successful and WON'T EVER GO BACK TO
WORK FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
INDEPENDENT BOOKKEEPERS
ARE IN HIGH DEMAND!
Let's assume your a
bookkeeper and your boss just informed you that he's cutting your hours so he
doesn't have to cover your benefits package and the company is financially
struggling. He only wants you to work 15 hours per week. At $10.00
per hour that really hurts your pocket book and you can't survive. There
are hundreds of contractors, lawyers, small business owners who can not afford
full time bookkeepers, and the word employee carries so much liability with it
to a business owner that an independent bookkeeper relieves them of that burden
and 15 hours per week at $25.00 per hour with a $375.00 bill doesn't seem that
bad when you've eliminated benefits, workers compensation, company politics,
etc.
2.) Are you a
stay at home mom that needs more money? If you could work two 8 hour days
per week making $640.00 per week would you? Working only 2 days per week
at $40.00 per hour would bring home $33,280.00 per year. Compare that to
my next question!
3.) If
you currently make $10.00 per hour your making $20,800 per year working full
time, at least five nine hour days per week for someone else. The current
going salary for a bookkeeper is between $9.00 and $14.00 per hour. Wouldn't you
rather work 2 days per week making over $12,000 more per year than working full
time for someone else? If you do the math, you would only need to work 65
eight hour days per year to make the same amount of money that you are working
260 eight hour days per year for someone else.
4.) Are
you interested in just supplementing your income. If you
are in the bookkeeping, accounting or clerical field, you've
probably already been approached by someone who knows someone
who needs help with their business bookkeeping. Just two
small clients that you work on weekends or evenings could
bring you an extra $300.00 per month. That could help
your finances ketch up on overextended credit cards. You
would be surprised, just by supplementing your income and
providing a quality service to your clients, you'll love the
freedom so much that you will set goals to "quit your day
job", and you will end up earning so much more than your
day job could ever pay you!
The data I have written in
my book took years to learn the hard way, and I am basically giving away
my secrets. The most important information that I have written is
"HOW TO GET CLIENTS!"
5.) If you opened
your own bookkeeping service, where would you go to find clients? Cold
Calling? Placing Ads in the newspaper? I can tell you right now that that
doesn't work! It will take you ten times a long to get a client. People
don't like solicitors, and they won't appreciate you cold calling them!
What do you think a temporary agency does? If you have ever worked temp,
there is no difference in contracting accounting and bookkeeping services.
They're billing you at $25.00 per hour. The mentality of an employer does
not want to pay high wages to an "employee" but your in a
different ball game when your a "Temp" or a "Independent
Contractor". Then $25.00 per hour is standard. Standard,
the employer/business owner knows it's standard, the temp agency knows it's
standard, but the employee thinks $10.00 per hour is standard. You need to
get yourself out of the "employee" title to earn the respect and money
that your worth.
6.) If you could make
almost $50,000.00 per year only working 3 days per week, leaving a four day
weekend to spend with your family or friends? Take weekend vacations that
you were criticized for just thinking about before, wouldn't you do it?
You can finally decide when to make your appointments, and go to the Christmas
play your child is in without feeling guilty from a boss who doesn’t agree
with families coming first! I still to this day never feel guilty about
changing an appointment or running a day behind because my children or I were
sick. How many times have you been written up from calling in sick when you had
a fever of 101? Or when your children had to be picked up from school because
they were sick or hurt? Clients understand family values, bosses don’t!!! When
you offer a "trust service" to your clients, you become an
acknowledged asset to their business operations.
I'm sure your wondering if
you have the right skills to start your own business, if you have the
drive and ambition, and the basic fundamentals of bookkeeping (even just
paying your bills at home and balancing your checkbook) then you are on the road
to a very profitable market! There is a lot of money to be made in this
market, and companies will always need a good bookkeeping service!. If you
don't like accounting or bookkeeping, then I can assure you, this isn't the
right industry for you. You need to enjoy what your doing or you won't
have a good ora, and it is true when it comes to trust. Your ora is very
important, your clients are trusting you with their financial information, and
if you send the wrong message, it will be difficult for you to succeed or even
find clients. If you're not sure on your bookkeeping abilities, and feel
you need a little touch up on training, Computerized Bookkeeping in Laymen's
Terms will be a great tool. You can order both at a discounted rate below.
This double pack has become the most popular order because it
not only gives you the independent bookkeeper an idea of how
the small business owner thinks and views accounting, but it
helps you understand and translate their bookkeeping in a way
that they will understand it, which they will
appreciate.
I remember when I first
opened up my accounting service I had actually called around to friends and
family acquaintances and asked them where I could go to get certain information,
how they did it, what worked the best, and I can honestly tell you that they
wouldn't tell me anything! It is considered competition. If
you could find the resources that I am giving to you, would you buy it to save
yourself years of trial and error on learning what works and what doesn't?
I'm an entrepreneur of sorts, and live by the resources and steps in my book.
I sold my clients three times to venture off on different business ideas, and
each time I needed to earn money and start up my accounting business again, I
was busy within the first two months. This instruction guide has
