Setting up on my own as a bookkeeper, difficult to start?

bitterblueben

Hi there,

I am due to(hopefully) complete my Technician Level AAT this year, having already completed Foundation and Intermediate Levels.

I am considering offering my services as a bookkeeper to sole traders/small businesses and was wondering how difficult this would be in reality, i.e. what do i charge and how do i charge, where should i advertise and what timescale do i give clients in terms of completing their accounts?

Also, what software is better to use, i only have Excel and is it possible to use this?

Thanks in advance,

Ben.
