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.

How do you protect client information? and protect yourself from liabilities if the data leaked, hacked, lost,?
Thank you!
Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful. So I take it you only do after the fact write up work yourself? What about clients that wants someone to generate invoices to clients, process deposits enter bills and process checks, etc? I assume you stay away from that level of involvement? And do you ever get push back from clients about getting online access to their bank or credit card information? I have accounting experience but this is where I am struggling, figuring out what work the clients want completed and what I want to perform. Thanks Again!
Mark Williams hello, that’s a level I don’t do anymore. I stick to what we call “level 1” bookkeeping, which there is plenty of out there.
No, never pushback. I have clients they send me PDFs each month though.

Hi Steve,
Question for you:)
As a bookkeeper, what's the best business structure?
Sole proprietorship seems the best option.. any recommendation?
Thank you.
Ben Yim in the beginning, yes that’s a good start.
@@Bookkeeping_Life Thanks!
Be sure to look into getting an S corp election as you start having a bit more income :)
Do you have employees?
Hello, no I don't. For my accounting business, it's just me. For Bookkeeping Life, I have a team that helps me educate others and keep things running smoothly. www.BookkeepingLife.com
@@Bookkeeping_Life Thanks for the answer. Your videos are inspiring. I've been working as an accountant for 2 and a half years, as an employee for BDO. I think, i could start some bookkeeping & Tax business at the same time.

Hi Steve, great content as always!
I'm from Philippines. Would it be possible for a bookkeeper here to get clients in the US? Even though I'm not knowledgable with the US tax codes. Is there a service/value that I can provide even though Im not from US?
It doesn't matter so much as to where someone is. It matters how knowledgeable you are (or will be) and how you brand and market for clients.
@@Bookkeeping_Life you are very encouraging! I have seen videos telling people to stop asking them how to do bookkeeping business if they are outside of US. So do you also have out of state clients too?
Should we have a monthly fee we charge clients so we can have continuous work and revenue
tlmcqu80 monthly bookkeeping is a monthly fee
@@Bookkeeping_Life I'm sorry, I meant how much should we be charging our clients, do you talk about this in your course
tlmcqu80 yes I talk about how to charge. There are variables
At what point should you get a business license?
depends on the city you live in if you even need one, but I think once you get your first client.
Hi I like your videos, its well informed. Just a quick question. Do you need any certification viz CPA to do accounting business? Would appreciate your valuable feedback on the same
Hello, no you don't. I have a video about that on the channel as well, regarding education level, certificates, etc.
@@Bookkeeping_Life Thanks for your prompt response. Would appreciate if you can share the video link re education level, certificates. Thanks Kris

Hello. There are plenty of Indian people doing it and plenty of countries are are ok with that. So I'd say yes.
