  1. This is such an in-depth article on how to start a lucrative online bookkeeping business. 

    I love numbers and in my accounting course in high school (3 decades ago) I was one of the top students, my ledgers always balanced perfectly. I know a lot has changed in accounting and bookkeeping since then, but I have faith in myself that I could learn what it takes to become a very successful online bookkeeper, especially after reading your article. 

    I will need to take a few of the courses you mentioned to get the needed certifications, but I can see how this could be very lucrative as well. Thanks for all the great pointers!

    One question, do you think it would be best to stay with one type of business to do books for? Like would it be wise to take on a restaurant, software firm, and magazine publisher? Or would it be better to look for several restaurants and keep the work similar? 

    Avoiding pitfalls and unnecessary mistakes is my goal for sure.

    Thanks,

    Stacie

    1. Thank you for your thoughtful comment! It’s fantastic to hear that you’re considering starting an online bookkeeping business with your strong background in numbers. Your experience and passion for accuracy will definitely serve you well in this field.

      Regarding your question about specializing in one type of business versus diversifying, both approaches have their merits. Specializing in a particular industry, such as restaurants or software firms, can allow you to develop deep expertise and tailored solutions that meet specific industry needs. This specialization can make your services more attractive and efficient over time.

      On the other hand, working with a variety of businesses can provide diversity in your client base and potentially reduce dependency on any single industry’s economic fluctuations. It allows you to leverage your skills across different types of businesses and adapt to varying needs and challenges.

      Ultimately, the decision depends on your preferences, business goals, and market opportunities. Whichever path you choose, staying organized, understanding industry-specific nuances, and maintaining clear communication with your clients will be crucial to avoiding pitfalls and achieving success in your bookkeeping business. Best of luck on your journey!

    I’ve never thought of having a bookkeeping business. Despite having a MAster’s degree in Finance and some serious skills in bookkeeping, I’ve never tried and I never understood why. But I like how you detail how you should market your skills, and find your clients. Also, if people want to start this kind of business , they must be very careful because this is a detail-oriented business!

    1. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s great to hear you found the information helpful. Starting a bookkeeping business can indeed leverage your finance skills effectively. Detail orientation is key in ensuring accuracy and building trust with clients. If you ever decide to explore this path, your background could be a significant advantage!
