I am currently interning with a freelance bookkeeper that I've known for years. I like the potential of freelancing and this is one of the reasons why I'm learning it. My biggest fear though is not being able to make a living. Although my living expenses are low, even with my mortgage, if I go out on my own I have to be able to afford health insurance coverage - and we all know today's costs of health insurance for even a single person. That is my biggest worry. Great videos by the way and very to the point, informative and touch on not only the big questions but also the details that can get overlooked.
Glass Reef thank you! Yes health insurance (whether intentionally or not) has been the chains that bind us to employers. Best that can be done in that situation is to build your bookkeeping business up on the side to the point where taking the jump isn’t so detrimental to your livelihood (or healthcare :))
@@Bookkeeping_Life thank you for your kind reply, ;)
That’s cool. I know this is old but How did you find an intern position for a freelance bookkeeper?
Great video! Wanted to get some thoughts on how you start getting clients. I’ll check out your webinar possibly!
It’s a detailed answer. That, plus everything else is on my platform. Www.bookkeepinglife.com
Thank you for your videos, they are the best Bookkeeping ones I've seen on TH-cam so far. Very informative yet simple. Can you do a video specifically on Bookkeeping for a service based company like construction, mechanic, or welding? Thanks!
Thanks Sally, I encourage you to check out my program at www.BookkeepingLife.com.
If you have specific questions about that industry, shoot me an email at steve@bookkeepinglife.com
Best :)

Hi Sir Stev. Please what type of transaction detail or data should i demand from a client for bookkeeping.

Hey Steve, this was an absolutely informative video. it was crucial in particular, for the recent accounting graduate students that have the career aspirations and goals to become successful accountants, and I happen to be one. loved your uploads, keep them coming.
Right on, thanks!
Do you have to create an account for your client business on the software or how does that work. Do they give info of the business of their finiacal stuff then create their account.? Thanks like your content.
Dear, l would like to learn that stuff
From where I could start ? Especially the program and software
Www.bookkeepinglife.com
I recently became qualified chartered accountant and ive always felt doubtful of my knowledge and unsure if i could go self employed. I never really understood exactly how people can do it all on a selfemployed basis it seems too overwhelming. I would eventually want to work for myself as i am tired of being talked down to in corporate environments. Bookkeeping could be a good start but i need to understand exact steps of the process
Whats the name of the software?
What about money coming in? Isn't that equally as important as what goes out?
All money coming and going.

Can you help someone get bookkeeping jobs. I'm based in Nigeria.
Thanks.....Q: is getting certified bookkeeper throw NACPB good idea to start a book keeping carrer since I'm 38 and I want to swich my carrer
Hello. I think certifications are basically worthless when it comes to starting and growing your own bookkeeping business. The education you may learn from getting a cert can be good, depending on the agency. You can spend too much time learning things you don't need or use, causing you to never get off the ground.
@@Bookkeeping_Life what if is my goal to find a job in the government or county or a private sector even .isn't better to have somthing to prof that i have the knowledge..what u thing about the NACPB in general ...thanx for sharing you experience .....
Hello, If you're applying for a job, different things matter, a cert may or may not make a difference. I speak (and BookkeepingLife) is coming from an entrepreneur position, not an employee position. I don't have an opinion on NACPB because I've never taken it.
I'm not from USA. Can I work as a freelance bookkeeper?
Yes
