Hi there Does your course provide certificate?

@@beautifulworldofhenna2874 Hey, good question. I don't have a certification available. I've been asked that before, so it's something I can look in to for the future!

Hi Morgan! As a bookkeeper are you limited to clients in the state you set up your LLC in, or are you able to gain clients nationwide?

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

@@curlyhairedlass4382 Good question, you can work nationwide!

I just finished the 5 day challenge with Bill von Fumetti on Friday. He does a very good with the basic training. He has his master class but I didn’t elect to sign up. I saw Victoria a couple of days ago and now I found you. I just binge watched 4 of your videos and I love how you explain things. I’m subscribed now! Thank you for sharing this information to us newbies! 😊❤

We are glad you are enjoying Morgan's YT channel. Thank you for subscribing! Krista (FinePoints Admin)

[@EdSweeden]

I too, just finished Bill von Fumetti's 5-day challenge and got a lot out of it. Though now as I think back and see his FB ads for the five-day challenge starting every Monday, his main source of income is that five-day challenge and the mentorship program. I too, was unable to join that mentorship and find that with Finepointz and a few others, we can make this happen. I do have my first client and looking to actively seek new clients by the first of the year.

Your videos are wonderful and informative. Thanks! By education I am an accountant, but for the last 20 years worked in IT. I am now retired and started the process of starting a bookkeeping company. I also got certified as QBO ProAdvisor. How do you manage QBO subscriptions for new clients? Also, if a client is not interested in using QBO but is willing to download transactions as a data dump and ask you to process it in QBO, how do you do that? Do you refuse to take up such work?

[@michelleantonio4083]

following

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

Hey! You can manage all of your clients QBO subscriptions in QBO Accountant. You have 2 options for new clients. 1) the client can pay QBO directly for their subscription and give you access or 2) you can pay for the subscription and add the fee into what you charge your client each month. In most cases, as the bookkeeper, you can upload transactions easily in QBO using a bank or credit card statement. Morgan recommends having your clients accounts linked to QBO so that the client does not need to provide statements each month. Morgan does not work with clients who do not use QBO.

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

You can be a sole proprietor (depending on where you live) without setting up an LLC (using your name for your business). Morgan promotes an LLC because it gives you that added legal protection to protect any personal assets in the case of a legal dispute. -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)

I’m curious, what kind of certification or education and experience did you go to be a bookkeeper. I’m looking into certifications and program grants for actual quickbooks certifications.

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

Hey! You don't actually need any certifications or training to become a bookkeeper (Morgan didn't have any when she started). But yes, having some experience and knowledge does help with your credibility and ability to get clients. Morgan recommends starting with the free QuickBooks ProAdvisor training and certification. Here is a video where Morgan explains more about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2OQanyGbd9gl6c Krista (FinePoints Admin)

I’m trying to start my own bookkeeping business soon. 😊 Also, wanted to add I live in Ohio

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

Hi! In order to start your bookkeeping business you will not need any certifications, however, they can be helpful to market yourself to get clients. Morgan did not go the Business Administration route in order to become a bookkeeper, so she is not certain which certification you may want to get. Krista (FinePoints Admin)

That's great! You can pretty much choose whatever you want as a name. :) Including your name is a great option, or something descriptive about what you're doing "Suaraz Bookkeeping" or something would be the most obvious. Think about something that is easy to understand, spell, pronounce... you could also check available domain names if you know you want to make a website.

Thank you for this video! I am in sophomore in college and am looking into becoming a virtual assistant to give me more freedom during school but still allow me to afford tuition. I am not majoring in anything related to finances, nor do I have any experience bookkeeping or in accounting. Do you think this will deter clients from doing business with me, even if I get a QB certification, if I cannot list any related work experience on my website? Do you think they will ask about it? I noticed you included your notable past work experience on your website.

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

I love this! I want my daughter to do the same thing when she is older (she's only 9 now, ha)... it's such a good way to make good money. I do think you can get clients--it will take some trust-building and good networking. Maybe you could find an accountant to partner with and do some work for them (then you get experience and also likely that they will recommend clients to you).

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

There are a few options: you can buy it and share files (need to make a backup and send back and forth), you can remote in to their server, or you can just keep the QB file and send them reports. You can't use qbo and qbdt simultaneously (but you can convert their DT to online). I have a video about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4WucnVsZt16iNU

Can you work as a bookkeeper in the evenings or does bookkeeping require you to work during the day?

Nice! I want to research that a bit more and do a video on it. I've actually heard that some bookkeepers enjoy working for them, but others are worried/skeptical. What do you think?

[@richardlebreton6690]

@@FinePointsBookkeeping I'm a bit mixed. I studied up and earned certification because I want to freelance and be free of "working for a boss". My concern rises from what I was seeing while researching local Bk'rs rates. I was seeing QB quoting that Bk'rs shouldn't charge more that $650/month; and that was for the "top tier" (the $$$+) clients. My fear is that they're going to price out us new freelancers that are just starting to build client list. Rumor is that they've done this before with their Turbo Tax product.

Do you charge customers sales tax?

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

Hey! Morgan lives in OR where there is no sales tax, but you will need to take this into consideration if you live in a different state. Krista (FinePoints Admin)

Do you have a business bank account you would recommend?

[@FinePointsBookkeeping]

I tend to like Chase because they let you input more than a year of old transactions into QBO. But, I think there are a lot of good options out there.
