Small business owners across the U.S. are lacking a crucial component necessary for the success of their business; sound bookkeeping.
Many business owners are relying on an untrained office worker or a spouse to handle their bookkeeping needs. Others are paying expensive accountants to do it.
Ben Robinson, a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) for 16 years will tell you, “Accountants hate doing day-to-day bookkeeping and usually farm it out.”
Ben owned an accounting firm and was on a constant search for decent bookkeepers to keep on staff. He finally had enough and decided to start training bookkeepers himself.
After training 117 bookkeepers within his own firm, Ben decided to follow his passion for teaching, sold his accounting firm, and created Bookkeeper Business Academy and the formula for being a success Bookkeeper Business Blueprint (b3).
Ben’s mission is to help people develop what he calls a ‘lifestyle business’ where people are not having to sacrifice their family time, hobbies, or travel in order to earn a good living.
Ben’s 10-week course teaches the skills needed for starting a bookkeeping business from scratch.
Most of Ben’s students have zero previous experience in bookkeeping. Ben found that the best bookkeepers have some very distinct traits, but a degree or formal training is not among them. Having an eye for detail, being personable, and having a desire to help others are at the top of his 7 key characteristics.
What makes Ben’s course so unique is the business and marketing component. From the first day of the course, students are learning how to start, grow, and manage their own bookkeeping business.
Ben walks his students through the entire process from coming up with a business name to getting that crucial first bookkeeping client. Ben leaves nothing to the imagination. The name Bookkeeper Business Blueprint says it all; it is a detailed blueprint for creating a bookkeeping business.
Ben believes that the difference between an average bookkeeper and a sought-after, great bookkeeper is in the value they add to the clients they serve.
Have you ever heard a business owner brag about their bookkeeper? Neither have I!
Ben is determined to train the kind of bookkeeper that business owners brag about; the kind of bookkeeper that is in such high demand that they have to turn away clients.
There are 28 million small businesses in the U.S. and almost 10X that in the world. And they all need a great bookkeeper.
Today’s advanced bookkeeping software programs make it possible for someone with no previous knowledge to quickly learn to be a bookkeeper. You just need the right training and a blueprint for success.
If you are interesting in learning more about the 7 key traits or how Ben’s blueprint can help you start your own business, he offers a free 3-part training class.
In these three classes Ben shares the characteristics of great bookkeepers, the tools and technology needed to start your business, and how to market your bookkeeping business and get clients.
