Here's my chart comparing bookkeeper courses: finepoints.newzenler.com/f/certification-chart-freebie Let me know if there are any other certifications or classes you want me to review!
I just finished the course through Booming Bookkeeping, I paid $47 for the basic class and an additional $47 for VIP where I could listen to questions being asked, to ask questions it was an additional $97 so I just stayed with the additional $47. Then for his "mentorship program" that did include alot, it was 5K payable with a deposit of $497 plus one payment of $4997 or the deposit and 3 payments of $1997.

Intuit has classes for free. They are widely known and offer certification for less than 200.00, for the certification for bookkeepers, this is not Proadvisor, yes I am one too. These other places might be ok, but I have never heard of them and I work at an accounting firm with over 60 businesses in just my department. I asked my boss and owner they said they would not hire from any of those pass-by-night companies, you really need a major company like Intuit for certification.
Awesome information. I just got informed that I'm being promoted from a truck driver to an office manager/ bookkeeper position because I mentioned I had a degree in business, but I haven't looked at accounting since the late 90s. And back then we didn't even have quick books. I learned everything with the text books so I need to brush up. But you already have me thinking I can take this position for a while. Get really confident, and then strike out on my own.
Thank you so much for all the information. I am currently a bookkeeper for a small real estate brokerage. I'm also a Realtor / property manger and use Quickbooks self-employed bundle with turbo tax. I started watching your videos and learned about becoming a quickbooks pro advisor accountant. I love Quickbooks and becoming a pro advisor is my next step to becoming more successful. Thank you again for this channel and for helping other to succeed. Kathy from Cali ( Bay Area)
Hi Kathy! Sounds like you're on a great path--gaining some experience and then leveling up. So glad you've found my videos helpful. Thanks for watching and let me know if you need anything!
Hi Kathy, I’d love to talk to you regarding your bookkeeping work. I am in the process of launching a service specifically in that niche and have a few questions, I am a realtor, as well.
Hi Morgan. I’ve recently started following your channel, and I am loving everything that you teach and all of the insight that you give. As somebody who just finished the keyboard rich program through Bill Von Fummetti, which is a small piece of the booming bookkeeping business, I thought I would let you know that his mentorship program the booming bookkeeping business is actually $5000 now. To be more specific $4997. Or if you pay it in three payments, it’s $1997 in three payments so it cost $1000 more for making payments. I don’t know if his mentorship program is different than just an offering of a regular program but just wanted to give you that insight that his $2000 priceis not accurate anymore.
Hey! Thank you for following Morgan and for sharing your recent experience with Bill's course. Yes, Morgan is aware of the changes to Booming Bookkeeping since she made this video. She is working on creating an updated video with the new changes. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hello, thank you for your video. Is it possible to do bookkeeping while having a full-time job. How are clients reception to someone who is not available at the a calls notice, I'm just curious to the dynamics - this is one of the main reasons I haven't started a bookkeeping part-time.
Booming Bookkeeping Business told me yesterday that it is $6000 for the course. I asked her twice because I thought I heard it wrong. I cancelled my zoom meeting with them.
Hey! Yes, Morgan is aware of the recent price increase. She is working to find out what they have included in their new course and will hopefully have an updated video review soon. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hey! If you are wanting to learn bookkeeping for your own small business, Morgan recommends Bookkeeper Launch. (sk293.isrefer.com/go/BLFAQ/ML82/) Bookkeeper Launch is VERY thorough and starts at the beginning to teach you all about bookkeeping, debits/credits, accounting rules, etc. They give you a QBO subscription to practice on & hands-on experience. They have a very active, helpful community--along with email support for when you run into issues. It will go over how to start a bookkeeping business, but you can just skip that part. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hi Ron! Morgan does recommend the QBO ProAdvisor Certification and it's FREE! However, for those who are new to bookkeeping and may need a little more practice and help along the way to starting their own business, Bookkeeper Launch is a great option! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hi Alicia! Morgan does not have any videos on "have your cake and eat it too bookkeeping" at this time. I will let her know you are interested in more information on it! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Thank you for this video. I am a worker bee once again after a long period of unemployment so once I get my life back in some sort of order I will be making the plunge and your video(s) really helped. 1:59 “spendiest” 😂 And if I mute the sound it looks like your sock puppet fell off. ❤
Hi Madeline! Morgan recommends getting business insurance for cases like this that might come up. If you accidentally mess up a clients books, they could potentially sue you for the damage that was done. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I am looking at doing Bookkeeper Launch. In my research I did stumble across "Stay-at-Home Bookkeeper" and was curious if you have reviewed that program?
I love how informative and helpful your videos are! Do you have or plan on making a video on what to look for when doing an initial assessment of a prospective clients' books? Thanks!
Hi Adam! Check out this video that Morgan made on how to onboard a new client: ruclips.net/video/07in13hHgcg/видео.html. Here is another video she made on how to "catch up" a new client: ruclips.net/video/07in13hHgcg/видео.html. Hope these help! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
This was an amazingly informative video! I had a quick question as I’m situated in Australia, and I’ve researched the best way for me to get the sufficient background is that I do a Cert IV in Bookkeeping and become a member of ICB to registered as a BAS agent, While it also to give me more options on clients for my business. I was wondering as a Cert IV is a full course on the bookkeeping side of things, would your Business Coach Course for $150 be suitable for me to fill in the gaps on the setup side my small business? Thank for your help 🙌✨
Hi Yvonne! Yes, I think Bookkeeping Business Coach would be a great option for you. Morgan focuses on the steps it takes to open your business, marketing, and walks you through getting your first client. However, she does not focus on teaching bookkeeping skills in her course, so if you have the knowledge from your other course, I think Bookkeeping Business Coach would be great! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Morgan recommends looking at what skills you have acquired in your past job and how those will carry over to your career as a bookkeeper and list those on your resume. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hey, I was wondering if you would do a video on some of the Quickbooks reports you give to your clients at month end. I’d like to be more of a resource to my clients and offer more than just the basic P&L for the month. Are there any special reports you like to run?
Hi I'm new to bookkeeping. I purchased the bookkeeper launch course but I'm getting confused. The instructions in the bookkeeper launch course are outdated because quickbooks has changed and the course creaters have not updated their instructions. so I'm getting confused. Is there a more recent course to take? Thanks
I'm not a fan of the bookeeper launch. I think it used to be a good course but the creator has retired and the new staff can't handle the pressure. It's too bad. I wouldn't buy it
Thank you for reaching out to ask! That is a great question. Hi Eileen! It is possible to shift into a bookkeeping career without prior accounting experience, and you don't need any official certifications or training to be a bookkeeper. Morgan created a great playlist for getting started in bookkeeping, which can help answer your questions on starting without experience and what you would need to do first: ruclips.net/video/2tZOoXoZC_w/видео.html Bookkeeper Business Coach will help you get your business up and running, navigate QuickBooks, and start marketing for your first clients (and onboard them). It's a great place to begin. finepoints.newzenler.com/courses/bookkeeper-business-coach Morgan also recommends getting the free QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification. The only other thing you need is to be willing to learn and grow in your bookkeeping skills! ruclips.net/video/H90PyiBJ8Kw/видео.html We hope that helps answer your question. :) Krista (FinePoints Assistant)
Hi, this is great stuff! Could you do a video that talks about how much time specific tasks might take? Like how many hours\minutes to reconcile a bank statement? I know there are a lot of variables to consider. But what are some general guidelines? thanks
Hi Andrew, thanks for watching. Great idea... I have a couple videos that touch on that, but I'll add it to my list to make a more specific video. How much time?

@@FinePointsBookkeeping is an LLC the standard way an individual would open a bookkeeping business? do bookkeepers usually file taxes for clients or leave that to accountants? thank you.
Hey there. 🙂 I enjoy your videos, they have been helpful. I have a question for you. I am wanting to do freelance bookkeeping and I'm not expecting to become rich quick with an easy job, I honestly would be happy just making 30k - 40k. We suddenly feel called to move to a run down town with hardly anything in it. I am curious how this may affect my plans. I can see meeting with clients is necessary, but how likely do you think someone can succeed by moving to a small town and primarily meeting clients outside of said town, and primarily through things like Zoom? What about clients out of state? I overthink a lot and have a lot to be nervous about all the sudden, so I appreciate any comments. 😅 Also, I was considering doing Penn Foster's 6 month bookkeeping course/diploma. Have you reviewed that?
Hi! You can absolutely work remotely as a bookkeeper--that's what I do 90% of the time. I'll link a couple videos where I have more tips for that! I haven't heard of Pen Foster's class, but I'll look in to it for another video! Thanks for the tip. work remotely: ruclips.net/video/8gZthokrA7Y/видео.html paperless bookkeeping: ruclips.net/video/0E1CYrCBJXY/видео.html
I feel the Penn Foster's course wasn't very valuable as far as learning the bookkeeping processes. You'll get the bare minimum of bookkeeping. I feel that dollar for dollar that Morgan's list of education/continuing education video contains a much better selection of training programs that, while more expensive, are worth more than what you will get out of Penn Foster's Bookkeeping Course.
Hey was your entity required to file a beneficial ownership information report with the U.S. Department of Treasury s Financial Crimes or did I chose the wrong section on the LLC
Hi Morgan, I have a question for a pro like u in this field, with bookkeeping knowledge can u go to any country and apply d same concepts or accounting? I mean it's numbers right? Reason for d question is I wanna go back to my country and do this kind of work , please let me know I would really appreciate ur answering, thank u for what u do in this channel.
Great question. I have a video all about that "hacks to gain experience" ruclips.net/video/VsiF8cJFOEU/видео.html This one may be helpful too "what to say to clients when you don't have experience" ruclips.net/video/5qvVDmnLiOo/видео.html
Can Fast and Easy QBO be used if I have no previous QBO experience or knowledge? Or is this really for people that have experience or have taken classes over QBO and just want help to pass the certification exam?
Yes, Fast and Easy QBO would be great for you as a beginner, and they have the guaranteed to pass to help you out as well, so that's a win/win -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
This should work on any device that has internet. I'm not super familiar with Chromebook, but the only thing to consider would be size of the screen (I think they are usually smaller, but I could be wrong). As a bookkeeper, sometimes it's easier to work on a larger screen (you can also get a monitor to plug in to). But, I always recommend starting with what you have an slowly upgrading as you see the need. I do have a video all about what computer I recommend and other tech stuff here: ruclips.net/video/JfYYI8aVZsc/видео.html
I wanted to work as freelancer ...i have post graduation in finance...but still I don't have experience in bookkeeping....I want to learn this skill to get job ....so how is this possible to become good bookkeeper?
Hi! Here is a link to Morgan's Bookkeeping Classes and Certification chart that she talks about in this video: finepoints.newzenler.com/f/certification-chart-freebie. This freebie will give you a list of ways that you can gain experience as a bookkeeper. There are both free courses and courses that you can buy to help you learn the skills you need to start your own bookkeeping business! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Bookkeeper Launch is described as teaching you how to setup a virtual BK business, but does it teach you how to actually be a bookkeeper for someone starting from scratch?
Hi Jason! Yes, Bookkeeper Launch is a great option if you want to learn bookkeeping as well. They give you a lot of practice in QBO and have a wonderful support team to answer any questions you might have! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hi! You do not need a CPA license in order to be a bookkeeper. If you are wanting to help clients file their taxes, then getting your CPA license may be an option for you. Krista (FinePoints Admin)

Can Fast and Easy QBO be used if I have no previous QBO experience or knowledge? Or is this really for people that have experience or have taken classes over QBO and just want help to pass the certification exam?
Yes, Fast and Easy QBO would be great for you as a beginner, and they have the guaranteed to pass to help you out as well, so that's a win/win -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Do these softwares run on Chromebook? Or would you suggest Windows?
This should work on any device that has internet. I'm not super familiar with Chromebook, but the only thing to consider would be size of the screen (I think they are usually smaller, but I could be wrong). As a bookkeeper, sometimes it's easier to work on a larger screen (you can also get a monitor to plug in to). But, I always recommend starting with what you have an slowly upgrading as you see the need. I do have a video all about what computer I recommend and other tech stuff here: ruclips.net/video/JfYYI8aVZsc/видео.html

Bookkeeper Launch is described as teaching you how to setup a virtual BK business, but does it teach you how to actually be a bookkeeper for someone starting from scratch?
Hi Jason! Yes, Bookkeeper Launch is a great option if you want to learn bookkeeping as well. They give you a lot of practice in QBO and have a wonderful support team to answer any questions you might have!

Do you see a need for a CPA license?
Hi! You do not need a CPA license in order to be a bookkeeper. If you are wanting to help clients file their taxes, then getting your CPA license may be an option for you.

I apologize if this is offensive. Do you received financial reimbursement from you advertisement of Bookkeeper Launch? The information you provide is invaluable but I feel this should be made public.
Hey! Morgan does get credit if you end up purchasing through her links. This also allows her to continue to keep sharing as many free resources and information on her own YT channel.
