How Can I Get More Bookkeeping Clients

Posted in Bookkeeping Clients

I have opened up a business as a sole trader I have the ABN, Registered the business name, set up a website, facebook page, business cards, price list, set up an office and i bought the latest version of MYOB ect.

I have completed Cert 4 in bookkeeping and now I am am studying a diploma of Accounting, I have applied to be a BAS agent though my previous job working for an accounting firm I have done the 1000 hours I need to register.

I have set up this business as a side business at night and on the weekends until i get enough clients that i can leave my job and work from home.

My problem is that I only have one client so far and I have not started doing work for her yet.

How can I get more clients I dont have years and years of experience which is the down side, I have sent out a letter to 25 local businesses around my area 2 weeks ago and I’m going to do another letter run.

Can you help me in anyway? Thanks for your time

A Gem To All Starting A Bookkeeping Business

Posted in Bookkeeping Kickstart

” You are a gem to all whom wish to start their Bookkeeping business.

I read first 60% of your report and finds tips & sharing are very practical. I am keen to start my bookkeeping career but unfortunately, I only have excellent knowledge via study but no work experience at all. ”

“Can you help me? Thanks, Steph.”

Steph, thanks for your kind comments – we love to get feedback from bookkeepers.

To help people like Steph, we need to know whether you’ve had any training in using MYOb / Quickbooks software, and if you have any bookkeeping experience / qualifications.

Depending on your level of skills you may find that you can gain more experience by working for some local bookkeepers

All VERY GOOD bookkeepers in your area always have MORE work that they can handle – you’ll find that they have a number of off-site clients and there’ll be some basic data entry that needs doing – in many cases they’d be more than happy to pay a “junior bookkeeper” a low hourly rate to get the data entry done

Contact them by telephone to arrange a time to go around and see them, tell them you’ve got an idea you want to run by them. Then when you eyeball them ask if you can help them with their data entry.

We helped Steph with some other questions she had about getting her bookkeeping business started, as we’ve developed a program to coach and and guide you through the minefield of building your bookkeeping business.

We offer one-on-one consultations for bookkeepers who are struggling to solve problems, or overcome challenges in sourcing bookkeeping clients
