Learned How To Do This Online And Charges $70/Hour

Here’s a profile on Kate Johnson, who started a bookkeeping business in 2017 and now earns $70/hour working from home 💰

This is key…

In the US, there are no formal certifications required to call yourself a bookkeeper…

all of the major bookkeeping software providers have their own certification programs. By taking these, you can demonstrate you’re proficient in using their software. But you’ll still need a foundational education on the rules of accounting.

Kate took some online courses to learn the ins and outs of bookkeeping.

She found her first clients via in-person meetups and Paro, “a kind of matchmaking service for bookkeepers and small businesses” 🤝

She charged $20/hour starting out.

Kate has niched down to bookkeeping services for Freshbooks users and uses her YouTube channel for marketing.

Definitely plenty of opportunity in this space.
