Accountants business opportunity

Many accountants offer bookkeeping services to clients. Some do this as a standalone service within a bookkeeping function, others mix the work in with the year-end accounts and tax return.

The fact is that the majority of firms of accountants are "reluctant bookkeepers" because they do not see bookkeeping as a profitable service. The main reason for providing the service is to secure client relationships.

However, bookkeeping can be profitable if it is priced and managed effectively and there are strategic reasons why a firm of accountants should run a separately branded bookkeeping business:  These include:

• Educating clients as to what is bookkeeping and what is accounting
• Protecting your accounting resources
• Allowing you to get under the radar of your competition
• Protecting the value of your accounting brand
• Allowing you to have a different pricing strategies
• Improving work flow within the accountancy firm
• Creating an opportunity for added value work
• Building a separate business which is not dependant on you
• Improving recovery rates from your accounting resource
