Are You Getting Paid for What You’re Worth as a Bookkeeper?
May 3rd, 2008 | Author: admin
Did you know that most freelance bookkeepers are making between $20 to $50 per hour? What….you’re not earning that much yet? Keep reading and I’ll tell you how you can.
There’s a huge demand for top-notch bookkeepers right now. A few short years ago many thrifty-minded employers were making the mistake of hiring anyone claiming to have a working knowledge of accounting software and paying them very low wages; with disastrous results.
They soon found, to their horror, that their books were an absolute disaster at year end and they had to pay an accountant a small fortune to clean up the mess these incompetent bookkeepers left behind. So much for saving them money.
These days, high-quality bookkeepers with years of hands on experience are commanding, and getting, superior wages. Those that are fed up with having a boss, are venturing out on their own and making a great living out of the comfort of their own home.
Bookkeeping is one of the easiest businesses to start out of your home. By just taking on one or two clients and doing some extra work on weekends or evenings, you can quickly start making the transition to self-employment.
The next step, if your job allows, is to start reducing your work days from five to four days a week. Just think about how much more you can be making by taking Fridays off and working on bookkeeping at home for eight hours at $30 an hour.
So if you’re a seasoned bookkeeper who is ready to go out on your own, now is a great time to get started. You have nothing to lose except for your low-paying job.
