ForumsStarting a Business

My own business, Welcome

Great idea having your own business. Who are you?? Where are you?? When do you graduate??

Majoring in Accounting opens the door to many businesses you can go into. From a Accounting service to a Tax service or last the last post said, a Quickbooks service or a combination of all of the above. You can also become a consultant

You can work from home or have an office or??

Good luck, LUCKIEST

Hi Danycount9,

I have been providing small business bookkeeping services for a few years now. My company offers tax and financial services to small businesses and individuals Nationwide. You might have some luck with brand new businesses. They almost always need a bookkeeper of some sort. Start off small so as not to overwhelm yourself since you are still in college. Some challenges you may face is that you're new to the industry but you could present your services in a sense that you can offer very personable services because you'll be a small bookkeeping service firm. If you don't know Quickbooks, I suggest you learn it quickly because that is a software widely used today. The program itself has many tutorials within so you may be able to teach yourself enough in the beginning to get you through and then build your skills as you go along. You might also want to take an online professional bookkeeping course. Having a designation behind your name will add some credibility. Try visiting www.universalaccounting.com. You will also find a wealth of resources at the American Institute for Professional Bookkeepers www.aipb.org. More business development and resources can be found at my website www.hardgeconnections.com. The important thing is to pace yourself and don't grow too quickly.

Many people are supplementing income online too. In addition to my tax and financial services company, I also run a home-based internet business. Feel free to take a look at my web presentation at www.gcvacations.info and part two of my presentation can be found at www.gcvacations.biz. I'm available to answer any questions you may have. Best of luck to you.

Looks like all these suggetions above are great. With the Quickbooks thing - I don't know much but I do know that a lot of small businesses need help with book keeping. I would suggest that you get "Quickbooks for Dummies" to get started - buy it on amazon used cheap. If then this is something you want to pursue further while still in school - do it since you are comptuer saavy and a fast learner.

My only concern is the time factor. How many units are you taking in school? How many hours do you have per week to dedicate to this business? Things like that you need to consider. Otherwise, you could be putting that 6K to better use somewhere else.

Hello Danycount9,

I'm also an accounting student and considering doing freelance bookkeeping as well. I'm very good with QuickBooks and creating business plans etc. I was actually beginning the process of putting up flyers but I'm having some trouble getting my first clients. I live in South Florida, which part of Florida are you in? Maybe we can collaborate. Contact me at mgrellbooks@gmail.com

Hi Dany,

I'm also a young guy trying to start a small business in accounting services. I am currently working for a CPA firm preparing financials and tax returns for small businesses as well as bookkeeping. I would recommend getting the QuickBooks Certification as it would train you and help you become familiar with the program. You'll also have the certification which looks great for advertisement to new clients. If you can, become a CPA because then a lot of small businesses would want your help. I'm currently working on mine along with other numerous certifications - CB, ABA, ATP (you can probably get the CB for now).

I'm also located in FL - central. Good luck on everything!
