    I run a small accountancy practice from an office at home as well as being in full time employment (not in accountancy). We offer the full range of services-bookeeping, VAT,tax, accounts,payroll - to (mainly) sole traders and partnerships and have done so for nine years. My wife does most of the day to day books, paye vat etc and I do the end of year and tax work as well as the more complex consultancy issues. It is fortunate that the busiest time (dec/jan) coincides with the long christmas break.<BR><BR>The arrangement means we don't have to actively seek new clients (we have less than 12) and can tailor the workload to suit my employed/self employed status and my wife's wholly elf employed status<BR><BR>It also guards against redundancy/loss of job as I have recently left my 'day' job and now have the option of finding another or expanding our own business.<BR>I like the mix of a full time job not directly in accountancy (but usually in something allied) and the self employed work in accountancy-makes for variety<BR>Hope this helps<BR>Gerard Somers<BR>

    Hi<BR><BR>I work part-time in an accounts office assisting the financial controllers. I would really like to supplement this work by doing accounts for small businesses / sole traders.<BR><BR>My question really is how do I go about making this happen? Should I advertise, how do I know what services to offer, how much can I charge? <BR><BR>I questioned an external verifier today to say that the AAT whilst providing the ethical guidelines, etc, they do not give any guidance on how to go about becoming self-employed.<BR><BR>Any help and or suggestions would be appreciated.<BR><BR>Thanks<BR><BR>
