Ben Robinson's Bookkeeper Launch is phenomenal! He teaches you not only bookkeeping in the 21st Century but also how to start and market your bookkeeping business. The best part is the Facebook community with thousands of bookkeepers ready to help you out at a moment's notice with questions you may have. Please check their website here:  Bookkeeper Launch - Own a 100% Virtual Bookkeeping Business (bookkeepers.com). He has a free mini course to check it out too.

It is worth every penny! I started my business in August 2020 and have 4 clients currently but am still working my full-time job. I hope to eventually make this my full-time job by end of 2021.

I’m very familiar with his program, as I signed up for it a few years ago. I had already been a bookkeeper for 18 years, but signed up because I thought it would give me a leg-up when starting my business. The information that was presented in the marketing was very well-thought out and presented nicely; however, I thought the bookkeeping knowledge portion lacked quite a bit. You can’t expect someone to learn a new profession as detailed as bookkeeping to be able to do it in only a matter of a couple of months. I spent 21 years getting to where I am now, learning from many different industries and people. Unfortunately, I’ve found that there are now thousands of people who have taken that course that didn’t learn anything. They’re asking questions that would make you believe they’d never taken a single bookkeeping course. The common thing I hear from their students is that they lack a tremendous amount of confidence and are all ready to quit because they can’t figure it out or understand how to learn it by way of 20-minute to 1-hour long videos. It says a lot when I have people that have taken the course and have no idea what a journal entry is and why they shouldn’t allow their clients to enter them. I’m glad that you have had a great deal of success because of that program. I wish everyone did; unfortunately it seems that the rate of amazing success after receiving certification is few and far between.
I agree with Nancy. Bookkeeper Launch, is a great place to get started!

I am a 5 star student of Bookkeeper Launch.  Love the program!
