How To Start A Successful Home-Based Freelance Bookkeeping And Tax Preparation Business

Although some of the examples are outdated (i.e...using MySpace to promote business), the book provides a good frame of reference for starting a bookkeeping and tax preparation business. It would be beneficial to the authors to provide an updated version/new edition, more aligned with today's technologically savvy generation.

A lot of broad info. The sections about technology have been eclipsed long ago ( this book was written in 2010, and a lot has changed since then) and the cash flow section seemed to be written for another book entirely and pasted into this one. Regardless, I think this is a worthwhile read if you're interested in starting your own bookkeeping business. I would follow it up with something newer, though.

I consider this book to be an easy read. I enjoyed the information given in detail to help you begin a career as a bookkeeper. The book listed many options for training and business advertisements. I look forward to my bookkeeping services becoming profitable.

The book provides excellent tips and suggestions. Also give good details on how the business aspect is set up. Could go into more details about training and continuing education. Overall a great book and highly recommend it.

A must read for anyone who is serious about starting a bookkeeping practice. The book is full of practical and actionable advice. The sample letters were particularly a great help to me. I gleaned a lot of advice that I am using in my bookkeeping practice and it is working! Gabrielle did a good job and must be commended for it.

It has good information for someone who is completely clueless

I am an MBA/CPA and must wave a caution flag and DO NOT recommend this book. I purchased this book because I am considering starting my own practice and wanted to avoid mistakes of others. This book is a step in the wrong direction and let me explain why:First, the recommendations are VERY general. For example, "to start a home bookkeeping business you need BASIC bookkeeping skills." I hope so! I hope that business starters also know a bit more about bookkeeping than the BASICS!Second, the author suggests during tough times to start selling items.... such as a printer!!! WOW! A financial advisor's nightmare!Last (and I could go on and on), the authors use this book as an opportunity to promote there other books and organizations. Pinheiro uses the book as promotion for her EA Review course - which I would be highly skeptical of.To conclude from the authorship of this book, please spend your $40 on another investment to develop your skills. The lack of professionalism also makes me question the success of their personal business endeavors. In no way am I trying to offend the authors, but they should be held to much higher standard if they are going to be any respectable authority on bookkeeping!!!

This book has everything I need to know for starting a home-based freelance bookkeeping and tax service business. You can use ti as a check-list

I recommend this book for every Bookkeper that aspires to earn more and work more efficiently. It's a blue print for success.Gordon SkillenExecutive DirectorIhonest.com
