How did you become a new bookkeeper?
Answered by:
I don't think we can ever stop learning how to become better in bookkeeping, accounting and business. I started my own bookkeeping business after working in the financial industry for the past 21 years. I took college classes, and an accounting-specific program, but never learned how to utilize what I learned in a real-life situation. I took a class to learn QuickBooks, but it didn't teach me the WHY behind accounting. I knew how to do the work, but not how to market myself to get clients, so I felt like there was always a piece missing. I actually started teaching some 1:1 classes on learning bookkeeping from a paper perspective to understand the WHY, then training on how it applies to QuickBooks so you can use the skills in the software, and I give my students some real-life experience in using their skills for greater confidence inside and outside the software. I also teach about marketing and mindset and work+life balance. My students are loving having a perspective of what business is really like, learning hands-on everyday skills, and not just the ideal that you can work from home and earn money after just a short DIY course.
Hi Heather! I’d love to connect with you to learn more about your course. I’ve used QB for my personal business and to assist clients in the past, but as I am expanding my business, I would like to become more knowledgeable and integral as a bookkeeper. Im looking forward to learning more!!!
