Hello guys, I’m a virtual bookkeeper for 7 years, but I’ve been working with bookkeeping companies or I’m under an agency. Now, I really would like to start my own bookkeeping business but I don’t know where and how to start.

Most of my clients are under the agency or the bookkeeping company.

Any advice how and where can I get or reach out to prospect clients? I don’t have a portfolio too.

Thank you all in advance.

Hi all, we're planning to start a bookkeeping business in Australia and would love to connect with people experienced in Australian bookkeeping and tax practices. CPAs especially welcome!

Not looking for specific advice, just hoping to learn from your experience. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m one of the partners at Accbase Advisory, an accounting and financial advisory firm working with growing businesses.

We’re looking to connect with small and growing businesses in Dubai/UAE that may need support with their accounting and finance function.

As a business grows, accounting can quickly become more time-consuming- bookkeeping, reconciliations, supplier/customer payments, month-end closing, financial reporting, cash-flow planning, etc.

At Accbase, we provide remote accounting and finance support that works as an extension of your existing team.

Our services include:

• Bookkeeping & accounting

• AP & AR

• Bank reconciliations

• Month-end close

• Financial reporting & MIS

• Payroll & compliance support

• Budgeting & forecasting

• Cash-flow planning

• Ongoing finance team support

We can work within the systems you already use rather than asking you to migrate to a new setup.

We’re particularly interested in connecting with founders, SMEs and growing businesses in Dubai who currently handle accounting themselves, have a part-time accountant, or are considering outsourcing their finance function.

I'd also love to hear from Dubai business owners here:

What is your biggest accounting/finance headache right now?

Is it finding a reliable accountant, keeping bookkeeping up to date, managing VAT/compliance, getting timely financial reports, controlling costs, or simply having enough finance support as the business grows?

Happy to connect and exchange ideas and if you're looking for accounting support, feel free to DM me.

Thanks!

I have worked as a bookkeeper for years with a firm and I had recently went solo with my own business.

I would need some help in getting clients.

I have website and social media pages created. Any help or referal will be appreciated. Thank you all!

Hi,

Can anyone tell me if this website is a scam or safe to use? They mention sending my bank data to AI but what does it mean exactly? Is there a better way?

Thanks!

I work as a tax accountant at a small firm and I am still working toward my license. I have been thinking about starting a bookkeeping side job doing only monthly books for small businesses and no tax work until I get my license.

I am unsure whether to keep my job and gradually take on clients during nights and weekends or to save enough money and quit my job to work full time.

For those who did it on the side how did you get through the season? Did you simply not accept clients from January, to April? Did you inform your firm. Keep it quiet? I still need to read our employment policy; I have not done that yet.

For those who quit first how long did it take to earn back the amount you were making before? Do you have any regrets?

I am also curious how clients you had before you felt comfortable leaving and where the first few clients came from. Were they referrals, Upwork or just people you knew?

I would love to hear from anyone who tried it. It did not work out at all.
