How to Open & Operate a Financially Successful Bookkeeping Business

Are you a whiz with numbers? According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median annual income of a bookkeeper is $30,500 and, as a business owner, you could make even more. Bookkeeping involves a keen eye for detail and an obsession for organization. If you fit this description and you have been thinking about opening your own bookkeeping business, we have a book that will guide you through the process with ease, showing you how to operate with little start-up costs and in a minimal amount time. You will find information on the software that you should make sure to buy before getting started, and also how to use the programs and the amount of money you can expect to pay. A special chapter on using QuickBooks™ will be included, alongside several chapters on keeping journals, counting sales, and the importance of accuracy in bookkeeping. This complete manual will arm you with everything you need, including sample business forms; contracts; worksheets and checklists, opening, and running day-to-day operations; lists; and dozens of other valuable, timesaving tools of the trade that no business owner should be without. While providing detailed instruction and examples, the author leads you through every detail that will bring success. The Companion CD-ROM is not available for download with this electronic version of the book but it may be obtained separately by contacting Atlantic Publishing Group at sales@atlantic-pub.com.
