    Owning a bookkeeping business can offer several benefits, including:
    1. Flexibility: As the owner of a bookkeeping business, you can set your own schedule and work from anywhere. This can allow for a better work-life balance and the ability to work around other commitments.
    2. Unlimited earning potential: As your business grows, you can increase your rates and take on more clients, leading to increased revenue and profit.
    3. Low overhead costs: Bookkeeping businesses typically have low overhead costs, as they can be run from home and require little equipment or inventory.
    4. Opportunity for growth: As your business grows, you may have the opportunity to hire additional staff or expand into other related services, such as accounting or tax preparation.
    5. Strong demand: Bookkeeping services are essential for businesses of all sizes, meaning there is a strong demand for these services. This can lead to a consistent stream of clients and revenue.
    6. Personal fulfillment: Owning a bookkeeping business can provide a sense of personal fulfillment, as you help clients manage their finances and achieve their business goals.
    Overall, owning a bookkeeping business can offer flexibility, growth opportunities, and a sense of personal fulfillment, while also providing a valuable service to clients.

    Hi Steve! I started watching Your videos recently and love them. I was a bookkeeper for a private hotel for 5 years and have a pretty good handle on Quickbooks desktop accounting version. I recently had a baby and had to leave my job due to the hours. It is my hope to start a virtual bookkeeping business but I am unsure as to what exactly I can offer. How can I learn what I can offer a client? Do you have any videos for that? Looking forward to your reply!

      Hi Making It, I recommend taking my program, Learn Start Grow. Teaches you how to start your own bookkeeping business, get clients, grow the business. Comes with a bonus course in QB Online, which is a bit different than QBD, so it's helpful.
      You can check it out here: www.BookkeepingLife.com
      Hope that helps!

    Hi so I am considering becoming a freelance book keeping. Is it better to charge hourly rate or flat rate monthly fee?

    • @Bookkeeping_Life
      @Bookkeeping_Life  3 года назад

      Hello. I like flat rate. I have a whole video devoted to that in my program.
      You might check out my free webinar at www.bookkeepinglife.com.

    Hi Steve, I'm observing your office. Is there a reason to have 3 monitors?

    • @Bookkeeping_Life
      @Bookkeeping_Life  5 лет назад +3

      Hello,
      A reason, yes, but not necessary. I do taxes too, so I usually have several things going at once. It's good for multitasking. I have 2 computers/3 monitors.

    • @doriasalvador8581
      @doriasalvador8581 4 года назад

      Yes. It could be because uses it for extended screen to have more open tabs simultaneously. Doing so u can use a docking station. He is very clear, sure will explain it why.

    Hi, what business structure do you recommend? We're in California as well but are not sure of which one to choose. What information do you request from clients when beginning a business relationship with them? Is it just bank and cc records?

    Hi Steve. Really enjoy your videos. I'm from the US and it seems there is a trend to outsource accounting/bookkeeping to cheaper parts of the world. It's tough to compete with someone willing to take $7 per hour or $0 per hour if it's a robot. What are your thoughts on whether globalization and AI will eventually make bookkeeping not worth pursuing?

    • @Bookkeeping_Life
      @Bookkeeping_Life  4 года назад

      Ed I just released a video on AI couple days ago. Good timing. You’ll see it in the channel videos.

      @@Bookkeeping_Life Good points. Until the movie "Ex-Machina," becomes reality, it's going to be tough for a robot to build a relationship with a human.

    @shessobrauny4753 5 лет назад

    Thoughts on name verbiage? The use of "bookkeeping" vs. "accounting" services?

    • @Bookkeeping_Life
      @Bookkeeping_Life  5 лет назад

      She'sSoBrauny depends on what services you provide. Accounting is more general and usually includes more services and possibly tax.

    • @shessobrauny4753
      @shessobrauny4753 5 лет назад

      Agreed. Was wondering if you could only use accounting if you were a CPA. Thanks for the feedback.

    • @Bookkeeping_Life
      @Bookkeeping_Life  5 лет назад

      depends on where you are and if that area has restrictions on that.
