Hi V! Do you have a video out on the difference between an independent contractor and an employee? I’d love to be able to mention those highlights when talking to former employers!
Hi @SummerFelker yes, I'm actually working on creating that video to be published in September.
There are quite a few things to consider so I may have to break it up into a two part series, but it's coming later in September, thank you or the suggestion.
I'm assuming you mean the difference between a bookkeeper employee vs a bookkeeper independent contractor correct?
@@TheBookkeepingShop yes that’s exactly what I meant haha
Very helpful video. You have a very cold voice too. My heart beats faster every time I hear you voice ❤️
Thank you for the free material.
You are welcome.
Thank you so much Veronica what a great video. Please, a video about the difference between a contractor and a bookkeeper and how to pitch your service would be very helpful
Hi Yvonne, thank you, I'm thrilled you like the video. I am recording a video later this month about the difference between an Employee (bookkeeper) and a 1099 contractor/consultant/freelancer. I believe is may be coming out at the end of August, so good timing!
Great video. A video about the difference between a contractor and bookkeeper and how to pitch your services would be great.
Hi Becky, so happy you liked the video. I like your topic suggestions, those are great for two different videos. I'll add those to the list, coming your way soon. Possibly lookout for them in June or earlier.
Question for you: do you been the difference between hiring a contractor bookkeeper vs a bookkeeper on the payroll (in-house)?
You are a dynamic speaker
Hi @mdanisurrahman6594 thank you for the kind words, I hope you find my content helpful.
Hello, Veronica. Appreciate your video and this free resource. I heard a couple people say it’s best to attempt to land the first client while doing the studies to complete the bookkeeping course since it takes 30 (-60 days?) to obtain the first client. What do you think? It’s ok to do the studies while simultaneously going after the first client? I’m about to begin my course.
Not everyone has people around them that needs bookkeeping or even knows someone who does.
Exactly.
Which of these methods will you try first?
How do I get to the emails for nurturing prospect relationships?

Hello. My name is Rickey Hughes. I have a business in bookkeeping and accounting. It is a small business, as well as a home based business. I have just watched your video on how to get more clients for my business. I believe if I try to do what you said in the video, I will be able to get more clients. Right now, I don't have too many clients; and so far, my business has not been too successful. That's why I am responding to you, right now, in reference to the video I have just seen. May I hear from you, so I can get more ideas on how to get more clients and grow my business? I will be more than glad to hear from you. I am interested in this. Please let me know how you can help me out with this. I would more than appreciate it. Thank you so much. I look forward to hearing from you.
Hi @rickeyhughes1784 I'm glad you found my video content helpful.
I have a few questions for you.
Have you selected the industry or type of business you would like to provide your bookkeeping services to?
What method of outreach have you tried to get clients? and how often are you working to get leads to convert to clients?
I have several free RUclips videos in my channel of ways to get your first or next bookkeeping client you may want to check out, as well as a resource with 1000 bookkeeping niches bookkeepers can choose from and the reasons you should consider niching/focusing on a specifc industry.

i cannot take customer from last employer. they always make me sign a paper I cannot do this. but your cideos are very informative. i see them.
now a days, employers do not want to train new bookkeepers. I have been hired and fired 4 times by now. they want experoenced right at the beginning. So I kind of forced to become self employed.
@nzabeen, where are you located?
You may want to try to work for a remote bookkeeping firm that allows you to work from anywhere while getting experience...look for bigger firms that would have a training and allow new bookkeepers to join their team. It may require you to reach out to them and inquire about a position if you still want to work for a firm where you can get experience from for a while to gain experience.
@@TheBookkeepingShop I get inspiration from you. I live in Hamilton city, Ontario province,Canada. This area is dead for accounting I believe. That's why I am facing same consequence again n again.
Would you be able to tell me a few accounting firms that provide training and big enough to accomodate large number of employees? also remote working facility?
To gain more experience or skill, I am enrolled in a bookkeeping certification course now 8 months long. So at least I have the skill.
In Past, I had an accounting diploma that only covered generalised accounting knowledge but no hands on accounting skill and software skills, no skill for filing taxes and othet items.
@@TheBookkeepingShop most of thoese bookkeeping jobs that I had bad experience was from either one person owner or family owned small bookkeeping businesses. Not big accounting firms. I barely know any of those firms.
I want to start bookkeeping and accounting business plzzz help m guide me
I have a lot of free resources that can help you get started. If you go to the description of my videos, there is a section with resources and a link to take it to the page so you can grab what you need to start with.
I'm a graduate student and want to do it for free . I can generalize every type of general journal entry and reconcile banking transactions to the record.but can't find a client. If you have any work I will do for my experience.
Thank you
Never work for free, your time is precious. Price yourself low if you want to, $15 an hour or something, but don't work for free. Doing this screams desperation to the client, which is often a big turn off. You're worth more than free.
i want to start. but so difficult to find clients. very difficult mam. 😢
Hi @nzabeen, finding clients is a challenge many new bookkeepers or bookkeeping business owners face. I do believe that your first bookkeeping client is usually in your network (contacts). Have you put a communication together to let people in your circle know of what you're doing, what you offer, the type of client you're looking for?
Start with focusing on getting warm leads (your network) and work on communicating with them to focus on getting one client in the next 30 days.
Have you grabbed my resource (free) 'Nurture Your Network'?
it gives you a guideline and email scripts you can customize to reach out.
@@TheBookkeepingShop i will do that. Thanks a lot!
The reason I decided to become self employee is the dirty politics of accounting employers now a days. Iam in Canada, Ontario province, Hamilton city. They hire me, watch me a few days and realise I am new, still not super fast or need guidance/training and thenthey fire me. It has happened 4 times with me so far. These employers do not want to teach the on spot job training now a days because after I learn theskill, definitely I might walk away an. become self employed and be a competetor for them right? It has also happenes with some new bookkeepers in our community that I knowso far.
And I am also stubborn. i want to be succesful here in this field. and i took vow i will become self employed, become a competitor for these nasty business people. more new self employed bookkeepers should emerge to solve this ugly situation.
to be more knowledgeable, right now i m back to college to do an 8 month bookkeeping certification to learn the quickbooks in detail. in past, i only had an accounting dioloma, that didn't cover the hands on experience in bookkeeping. soecialy the different types of filings.
