These are my 30 favorite types of clients to work for if you're just starting your bookkeeping business. I give you groups of bookkeeping clients that aren't too complex: artists, service providers and teachers...along with some tips in identifying a good client.

What other clients have you found to be good starting out as a bookkeeper? I'm going to be doing a series this month on the more "complex" niches. I've filmed videos on attorney bookkeeping and non-profit bookkeeping... which other niches are you interested in? (medical, construction, restaurant, other?)

I am a CPA who has just started my own bookkeeping business after working in public accounting and I find so much value in your videos. Thank you for helping empower other bookkeepers!

Great video Morgan. I actually look for many of these same clients that have employees. Before that, my experience is they still feel they can handle the books themselves. They keep track of receipts, income maybe mileage on spreadsheets. Once they hit the trip wire of employees tho, that tends to open them up to considering accounting help. I take on any payroll and outsource it to a wonderful full service payroll processing company, include it in my pricing. The payroll company handles the processing and sends me any premium price I charge the client over my base rate. I agree, stay away from anyone with inventory or construction outfits that have a lot of work in process and job cost accounting issues. Should def have some experience before tackling those. You summed it up pretty nicely. Also people in the trades (plumbers, electricians, etc.) with 1 - 5 employees are great too and we can really help them a great deal with their business.

[reneepoole]

I'm getting ready to start my own bowling biz from home and after watching this video I'm thinking I should find a few photographers. Lol. Looking to start out super simple because I'm a nervous wreck about it! What would you charge a photographer?

Hello, I am wondering after doing a book keeping course I would need practical practice/internship under a experienced bookkeeper/accountant. How to find this one

[samanthatozer]

My question would be what would you charge these small businesses? A lot of these artsy people have a low profit margin but enough to need to file for taxes so what would be your ideal range without hurting them but not wasting your time.

[CinthiaRivas-de]

Hello, I am trying to download some your charts, but Im not receiving any email.

What would the chart of accounts for a home baker look like?

Colleague, business evironment is so different in Uganda, those informal businesses like crafts, etc don't always hire book keepers, here you have to start with schools, wholesalers, etc
