BI-580

Start Your Own Bookkeeping Business Program

incorporating the FNS40207 Certificate IV in Financial Services (Bookkeeping)

Q. Are you tired of working for what seems like an eternity, without ever getting ahead?

Q. Do you dream of becoming your own boss, making more money and being able to enjoy it?

Q. Do you wish you had more free time to spend with your family, or pursue your favourite hobby?

There are 1,400,000 businesses in Australia and there is a huge demand for bookkeepers who understand the specific needs of small businesses, because the most common problem plaguing small business owners is their inability to understand their finances. With the introduction of the GST every one of them now needs an accurate bookkeeping system to keep account of their financial records.

Starting your own Bookkeeping Business is a great idea if you enjoy bookkeeping and office work and want to start your own business from home with a minimum of capital.

But how do you Start? For most people the most daunting task is how to start . . .

What do you need to begin? Which software? Which state licenses do you need? How do you find clients? How much do you charge?

So you either continue to dream, or muddle into bookkeeping with no real idea of what you are doing or – if you have a spare AUD$30,000+ you could join a bookkeeping franchise where if you are lucky you may receive adequate training, some marketing ideas, an operations manual and ongoing technical support. What you will definitely receive is a monthly franchise fee for the rest of your business life.
