Every practising accountant needs a degree, regardless of employment type. Of course, you can offer accounting services with just a business degree, but formal training in accounting will likely see you appeal to more potential clients.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tafensw.edu.au\/course\/-\/c\/c\/FNS40217-01\/Certificate-IV-in-Accounting-and-Bookkeeping\">TAFE<\/a> to university or even an online accounting degree, getting your qualification ensures you have the skills, expertise, and experience. This way, you\u2019ll be able to provide the level of service that leads to those sweet, sweet word-of-mouth referrals.<\/p>\n<p>You also have the option of taking your studies a little further and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.open.edu.au\/advice\/insights\/cpa-vs-ca-which-path-is-right-for-you\">becoming a Certified Public Accountant or CPA<\/a>. While not a requirement, it is a credential that may secure more work and a little more money.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_set_up_your_freelance_accounting_business\"><\/span>How to set up your freelance accounting business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you have your credentials, congratulations, you&#8217;ve learnt accounting! Now it&#8217;s time to learn how to run your own freelance accounting business.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip #1: Set up your home office.<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ll need a space to work and a reliable internet connection. You are living the laptop lifestyle now so ensure you have a good quality option complete with conferencing software and a way to accept online payments or invoice your clients.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip #2: Connect to the cloud.<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to work from anywhere, a cloud setup will allow you to access your office, files, software, and everything else wherever you go. You can check out this detailed list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/bestaccountingsoftware.com\/best-cloud-accounting-software\/\">best cloud accounting software options<\/a> with tips on how to set them up.

In addition, you&#8217;ll be able to benefit from automatic data entry, daily bank reconciliation, and automated payroll.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tip\"><b>Cloud accounting software<\/b> is hosted on remote servers, similar to the SaaS (Software as a Service) business model. Data is sent into \u201cthe cloud,\u201d so you can access, use, and store it on the internet instead of physically installing it in a computer.<\/div>\n<h3>Tip #3: Figure out pricing and service bundles.<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38921 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/24050624\/accountant-using-calculator-setting-prices.jpg\" alt=\"freelance accountant, bookkeeper working with calculator to set his service rates\" width=\"716\" height=\"477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/24050624\/accountant-using-calculator-setting-prices.jpg 716w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/24050624\/accountant-using-calculator-setting-prices-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are several options available when choosing how you will charge for freelance accounting services such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hourly<\/li>\n<li>Flat rate<\/li>\n<li>One-off accounting tasks<\/li>\n<li>Per project<\/li>\n<li>Monthly retainer<\/li>\n<li>Bundle deal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Organising a monthly retainer<\/h3>\n<p>A monthly retainer can be beneficial for you and your clients for these reasons:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your clients know how much they are spending, rather than committing to an hourly cost that could blow out.<\/li>\n<li>You get that comfortable feeling of regular, guaranteed income.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>You can offer the following services as part of a bundle, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Account reconciliation<\/li>\n<li>Day-to-day transaction posting<\/li>\n<li>Management of bill payments<\/li>\n<li>Regular reporting<\/li>\n<li>Payroll<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Just make sure you keep track of your time to guarantee you are charging enough each month.<\/p>\n<h3>Tip #4: Keep referrals front-of-mind.<\/h3>\n<p>A cloud accountant is an attractive option for businesses that use online software and can&#8217;t afford an in-house bookkeeper.<\/p>\n<p>Word-of-mouth can be your bread and butter, so ask clients who love your work for referrals and positive Google reviews. Remember, you&#8217;re no longer just an accountant; You are your own marketer as well.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-38922 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/24050623\/friendly-accountant-talking-to-client-phone.jpg\" alt=\"smiling accountant, bookkeeper talking on phone with her client, asking for a referral and testimonial\" width=\"716\" height=\"995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/24050623\/friendly-accountant-talking-to-client-phone.jpg 716w, https:\/\/airtasker-seo-wordpress-blog-assets-prod.s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/24050623\/friendly-accountant-talking-to-client-phone-108x150.jpg 108w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In addition, building your digital presence is important because your clients can come from anywhere around the world.<\/p>\n<p>There are millions of potential clients online, so ensure you have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An active social media profile (add clients, and ask them to share your posts)<\/li>\n<li>A professional website<\/li>\n<li>An SEO strategy that includes content marketing<\/li>\n<li>A simple email newsletter and mailing list database<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Marketplace platforms like Airtasker let you easily <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/jobs\/accounting\/\">find freelance accounting jobs<\/a> online. This is the perfect way to put yourself in front of the people who are already looking for the services you offer!<\/p>\n\n<h3>Tip #5: Watch those expenses.<\/h3>\n<p>Revenue is easy to track through invoicing, but expenses can be overlooked. Now we&#8217;re aware of the irony here; You are an accountant, after all, but lines blur when you freelance. Your phones, computer, electricity, fuel costs and more are no longer just personal costs, so keep track of everything for the benefits come tax time.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Build_your_freelance_accounting_career_today\"><\/span>Build your freelance accounting career today!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once you know the areas of focus for your accounting practice, you can offer your freelance services and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airtasker.com\/au\/earn-money\/\">earn money on Airtasker<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Take the plunge, be your own boss and build your freelance accounting business today.
