[@ounayang9061]

Hi, I'm in the process of researching on how to become a bookkeeper too and found your channel today. Thank you for sharing your experiences and walk us through the process. Good luck!

[@RealisticBookkeeping]

You are so welcome! You can do it!

[@mg24683]

Amazinggg!!! I’m binging all your videos and soooo happy I found your channel!!😊

[@adashofkaren]

Watching all your videos. I can relate to you. Im do bookkeeping 3 years ago, im doing research like watching bookkeeping vids as a refresher. O havent had an experience doing bookkeeping for business, my experience was working in an organization..

[@joyandpay]

Thank you for sharing your processes and being so transparent. I really want to get back into bookkeeping and your videos are helping me. Blessings to you!

[@RealisticBookkeeping]

You are so welcome :)

Im so glad that someone actually did it. I have been thinking about freelance as a book keeper but super super confused and nervous that i would ruin my clients books, even though I had a lil experience of doing a part of book keeping like invoicing and receipts every week and expenses once in a month plus all the manual accounting from journalising to final accounts that i did in my BBA.

[@RealisticBookkeeping]

Go for it! You never know until you start what you're capable of and how much you could help a business owner with something they definitely don't feel comfortable with! All the best to you!

I'm so glad! Thank you for your feedback!

[@ashleeross3655]

Hey Rachel!! Wanna be my bookkeeping buddy?! 😅 I’ve been thinking of starting my business for a few weeks and now that I’m pregnant with my second baby, I’m really ready! Kinda freaking out, but your videos have been SO helpful 🙌🏼 Also a Type A over here and taking lots of notes. Thank you for sharing your journey 💗

[@RealisticBookkeeping]

I am so happy for you! You can do this! I will try to share ALL the things I learn and experience so others in similar positions don't feel alone :) congratulations on your pregnancy!

[@lacichung3517]

Do you think there is a best time to contact people when you’re approaching them about needing your services? Like is it better to send a message first thing in the morning? On a Monday? Midweek?

[@RealisticBookkeeping]

I've never really thought about that, but maybe late afternoon to evening so that even if they don't respond that night the message is waiting for them the next morning.

[@Minmoran]

before i reach out to potential clients, should i ave a fee schedule? how do i determine my service fees??

[@RealisticBookkeeping]

That’s a great question! I don’t think you need to have that all figured out before you try to find clients! You can decide that as you go, in my opinion 😊

[@sarahdriedger908]

Did you find a helpful resource for determining your pricing structure?

[@RealisticBookkeeping]

I have not :( BUT, FinePoints has a pretty good video describing her pricing for small, medium and large clients - kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnKbaGpjpbuFgaM I'll also be making a video soon about my newest pricing :)

How was your experience signing up with quickbooks accountant? Some people say it’s free but how did you do it? I found you on a group we’re in. 🙂

[@RealisticBookkeeping]

Hey! I’m so happy you reached out! You know, I thought it was going to be really confusing just signing up and getting my account “set up,” but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I made it out to be in my head! I really just signed up as an “accountant” and then looked around in the training section. Here’s the link to sign up for QuickBooks Online Accountant: quickbooks.intuit.com/accountants/products-solutions/accounting/online/ Let me know how it goes!
