Hi
Please can you help, I completed my exams in June 09, and would like to start doing some sole traders accounts! The trouble is I don't know where to start!!!
How much should I charge, they will be just handing me a box of receipts and banks statements. I don't want to over price myself out the market.?
Also do I need to become a MIP, as I will probably only do these books as I work full time. Although if I found it easy enough and got recommended others, I would do more.
Any help anyone can give me would me much appreciated.

Pricing yourself out of the market is the least of your problems.
Are you doing the tax return as well? Have you done one before?0 -
You should check out the AAT website for advice. You will need MIP, insurance etc. They have good advice on their site and will also help you by phone.0
