Thread: How to get clients for a book keeping service??

I would develop a brand name to put your services behind and then use that to front your introductions. EX: I am Michael from Bcoop4 Accounting and we specialize in accounting and book keeping solutions for growing companies like yours. Do you currently have anyone managing your company's records?

Leading with "book keeping" sounds intimidating and confusing without context (in my opinion at least). Hopefully some of that was useful.

thanks

Maybe it's because I'm in the industry and not the biggest gambler our there but there is no confusion with the term book keeping to me and the people I deal with.

At the same time, there is nothing wrong with Adrenaline's direction either.

Most professionals know what a bookkeeping service is.

Edit: And I would shy away from using the word "accounting" as then you draw the question, "so you're a CPA?"

thanks guys i appreciate you feedback!

Talk to Accounting Firms. Tax Accountants and Enrolled Agents don't always provide book keeping and payroll services to their customers. They will be a great source for leads as long as they like your work.

Anyone who has, or needs, a bookkeeper knows exactly what he means.

I don't really see what's wrong with Book Keeping service...

what the other person is thinking of is Bookmaker which has nothing to do with book keeping.
