Without any clients, a service industry business is not really in business. Bookkeepers, whether they like it or not, are in the service industry, and thus need bookeeping clients to service

Do You Really Want Our Help?

By having a quick chat to bookkeepers looking for new bookkeeping clients, we can generally very quickly ascertain why they are having trouble sourcing new clients for their book-keeping business.

We picked up a bookkeeping client that’s returned over $200,000

Learning how to be a bookkeeper is very different from having to talk to potential clients. There’s the right way to say something and the wrong way to say something. How you speak to a potential client is important.

How you answer the questions that they ask you is also very important.

Bookkeepers who are serious about seeking help in finding bookkeeping clients will make sure that they secure a copy of our Ebook “Secrets to Finding Bookkeeping Clients”. Details about the book can be found HERE

“Oh, I’m too busy to read your book!”, we were told by one bookkeeper. Really? Then if she’s that busy, how come she’s asking us how to find bookkeeping clients?

“Just answer my question!”, said another. We have already done that, many times, and compiled the answers in our Ebook “Secrets to Finding Bookkeeping Clients”. Details about the book can be found HERE

Why is it such a big deal? Well, a few years ago we picked up a client that’s been worth over $200,000 to us! How would you feel if you were the bookkeeper that missed out on that contract because you handled the initial client meeting in the wrong manner?

Why is it that clients think that knowing how much a bookkeeper charges, will help them determine whether to employ that bookkeeper?

It seems as crazy as phoning up a restaurant and asking the price of a main meal. Do many people shop around restaurants based on how much they charge for a main meal?

Yes, of course they do. Fast Food Restaurants have built their whole business model based on price and fast service.

You can go to an upmarket restaurant and pay $30 for a hamburger, chips and soft drink – and get a “similar meal” from a fast food restaurant for a 75% saving

How does that tell you how much bookkeepers charge? Well, it doesn’t.

So many times clients will phone us up and ask “How much do you charge for bookkeeping?”

Our goal is to solve the client’s problem, and save them time and money

Many bookkeepers will answer them, and then hope to hear backfrom the client. Our goal is somewhat different, and takes some thinking “outside the box”

Why has the client phoned us? Because they want a bookkeeper! Simple as that.

So our goal is to solve the client’s problem, and save them time and money. They want a bookkeeping service, they contact us. We are a book-keeping service, so before they hang up, we’ve booked them in, secured a time, got their address, and saved them having to phone up any other bookkeepers

How do we do that

After answering the same questions over and over about starting a book-keeping business, we compiled a book that answers many of the questions you have about getting started, finding bookeeping clients etc

There’s also answers to questions that you haven’t even thought of yet

As you read this book you will learn of some innovative strategies to help your business move forward, and gain an understanding of what’s involved.

You’ll also get an understanding of how we think and our approach as a start to help you with your bookkeeping business

Here’s wishing all you bookkeepers a prosperous and healthy 2010 – and an exciting start to your book keeping business this year

How many New Year’s resolutions have you broken already? The Christmas holiday period is a great time to recap on the previous year and set some goals for the New Year

Why do people think they can become bookkeepers and just start doing people’s books with no experience??

Simply this: Because they can. There are no legal requirements or qualifications needed to start a bookkeeping business.

Like anything, if you do not need to hold a qualification to do something, then anyone can do it, and in many cases – regardless of whether you know how to do it.

The average bricklayer is quite capable of doing his own book-keeping

The average bricklayer is quite capable of doing his own books if he puts his mind to it. He (or she) doesn’t necessarily need a lot of training or experience. It all depends how complex the accounts are.

The bricklayer would probably do as good a job bookkeeping a as a professional bookkeeper would do bricklaying

Many people choose to do their own bookkeeping, simply because (most people think) it really isn’t rocket science. So why do people need self-employed bookkeepers?

The difference between DIY and getting a professional in for many things is quality and time.

Maybe you can add a new electric socket in your house. It might take you 3 hours in total. Or you can get an electrician, and because he is a professional, he does it day in and day out he’ll can do it far neater and in maybe an hour.

Take that to Bookkeeping and the question we ask people who do their own bookwork is how much it does it cost them?

How valuable is their time? What else they could be doing to grow their business instead of doing their books. A plumber may earn $80 per hour, but he can’t earn that if he’s spending 4 hours doing something that may take a professional bookkeeper less than half that. So he has to weigh up $320 of lost income vs. $100.

You may have had experience doing the bookwork for your family business, and think that you can go out and start your own bookkeeping business.

Are you ready to go and start a bookkeeping business

How would you feel if you discovered the bricklayer you had hired only learned his skills from doing a bit of bricklaying around his own home and had never had any formal training or never worked under an experienced bricklayer himself?

We were unfortunate enough to hire a house painter who called himself a “professional”. Anyone can buy a bucket of paint and slap it on the walls – everything may look great initially, but down the track you’ll notice the quality of workmanship, maybe the choice of materials used.

Are you ready to go and start a bookkeeping business with no experience as a freelance or contract bookkeeper?
