Bookkeeping

Hi all,

I have recently qualified and am looking to leave my awful job, I work in an accountancy practice and have done for 3 1/2 years. I am now looking to become a self employed book keeper. I am looking for some advice on the member in practice scheme, which I believe I have to join if I become self employed. Would working on accounts preparation be enough to become a member in practice for Book keeping? - I feel like that is my job sometimes with all the awful state of peoples records! What sort of people did you get to be a professional reference? - I don't think my employer would agree to be one somehow! Sorry its long thanks for your help.

Yes, you do need to join the MIP scheme.

The MIP team can give you all the info you need, but you would need to register:

As a MIP with the AAT
Regulated for MLR with the AAT
With Professional Indemnity Insurance
As self employed with HMRC
As a data controller with the ICO
