I am on my 50's and been a nurse for 2 decades. I would like to try bookkeeping business. Why not? After watching all the videos, i was so encouraged and motivated. Thank you so much. Really appreciated especially for a very beginner like me. ❤ all the best!! 🇬🇧

Zach, thank you for sharing your experience! All your video are very interesting and helpful. As an educated accountant who works in QBO I have to ask you one thing:
PLEASE don’t say that knowing bookkeeping fundamentals is not necessary 😭 It is vital!!!! Learning how the software works will not be enough to become a good bookkeeper. I’m not saying going to college if you don’t pursue an accountant license but PLEASE ASK EVERYONE to take a 101 bookkeeping class.
I cannot tell how many books I had to clean-up after QBO “pro advisors” who lacked bookkeeping knowledge.
Thank you again! And please keep sharing your experience.

I'm a big fan of yours. I work in public finance for the benefits, but am sick of living paycheck to paycheck. Learning my last CPA Exam score this week, then I hope to be off to the raves to be you. Thank you for the inspiration.

I have similar background as you my husband is an owner operator and I’m the dispatcher for 3 years now. I do all the bookkeeping for our business. I have bachelors degree in financial accounting and already have have my QB pro advisor certification and QB certification. My question is I want to target more owner operators for clients but do they actually hire bookkeepers since they already have so many other expenses for dispatching, factoring etc ?

Thanks so much for clarifying, Zach! 🙏🏾 I got stuck for a week during my studies and business preparation. I’m getting back on the wagon again! 😀

[EcomCarl]

your journey is inspiring! 💼 the practical steps and insights provide a solid roadmap for anyone looking to start their own bookkeeping business.

Thanks for your video. Im starting my career as virtual bookkeeper. I failed in my Quickbooks Pro Advisor Certification and can retake it again end of July. Hope I pass this time. Its hard to find a client nowadays because of competition. Thanks for your tips and suggestions, I'll try to apply some of those you've mentioned. Sending my greetings from the Philippines.

I am struggling to get client, not received my first client yet,

[patrickjefferson]

Zach thank you for your videos. I have quickly become a fan of yours. I have a degree in accounting and I'm a former IRS special agent. My question is what method did you use to study and prepare for the QuickBooks exams? Than you!

[faridakintanar]

I am an accountant, worked in Finance, and working on my CPA license, just need my required CPE credits after passing and getting experience verification . I recently quit my corporate job due to burnout and would like to start my own business. How easy is it to set up to start a bookkeeping experience without knowledge in Quickbooks at all? Also, can I both be a bookkeeper and accountant at the same time? Not expecting to earn as much as I did when I was in corporate but I need the flexibility of owning my own time and not working 50+ hour weeks.

Hello, Zach. I started watching your youtube and decided to follow your steps and instruction. Do you think that it is applicable for online bookkeeping business as well? Please let me know. Thank you.

[jacobsanders]

Zach do you have any videos on setting up a brand new business’ trial balance? Or do you not target brand new companies?

[infinite-guitar]

good videos, just noticed your sweatshirt, my alma mater too 🥰

Hey Zach, I am an international student here in the US and thinking of doing this Book keeping business. Do you know if it would be a problem based on my visa status?

[marshalleastin]

How does your relationship with your CPA work? Do you pay them to review the books you do or does the client pay them? How do you talk about the difference between you and a CPA to potential clients?

[Greg_Chase]

A key draw to your content I finally came to understand. It's a subtle point. At first I wondered if it originated in a religious background.

I finally found it today in one of your other videos - "The Three P's" you mentioned as the way to interact with people:
Positive
Polite
Professional

Your content is so easy to consume, I think the Three P's is the reason for it.
It's a key differentiator imo because few YT creators have it (besides the fact that I'm really interested in finance, accounting etc.).

Thanks for all the hard work you do creating this great content.
