Start A Bookkeeping Service

As the nature of business changes, bookkeeping is an essential function that is on-demand across all business sectors.

Bookkeeping services support businesses by handling their accounts receivables, creating and sending invoices to the correct accounts, and processing accounts payable to ensure business owners settle them when due.

To become a bookkeeper, pick the niche market, choose a bookkeeping software, and set up the necessary business infrastructure. You need a website, an address, client database software, and file-sharing tools where your clients can access records on demand.

Here are some real life success stories of starting a bookkeeping service:

1. A4E ($96K/year)

Sara, the original founder of A4E, launched the business in 2018 as a tax services company. However, after realizing that many of her tax customers had messy books and low profit margins, she decided to expand the services to include bookkeeping and CFO services. This shift allowed A4E to become a strategic partner for its customers, providing them with comprehensive accounting solutions. Since then, the business has experienced significant growth, with a MRR of $8k and a targeted MRR of $13k by the end of the year.
