Co-hosts Hannah Robinson and Melissa Honan talk about the benefits of starting your own bookkeeping business, and discuss networking and what the bookkeeping community is all about.

[0:56] There’s the misconception that a degree is required to be a bookkeeper, but that isn’t the case.

[1:26] Melissa is a huge advocate for alternatives to college degrees.

[1:52] Unlike other industries, you can get your bookkeeping business up and running in just a matter of weeks.

[2:37] Nowadays, people seem to be more interested in having a work-life balance and in making their own schedule.

[3:45] Being your own boss means that you can network in the way that best suits your personality, whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert.

[4:43] The pandemic has made things like Zoom calls more acceptable.

[5:42] Melissa is less about in-person networking as she is face-to-face. She always makes a point to have her webcam on whenever she has a call with somebody.

[7:41] There are several benefits to being your own boss, like working with clients you want, doing taxes or payroll, advising, as well as picking and using the tools you prefer and ditching those you don’t like.

[10:08] One of Hannah’s favorite things about the bookkeeping community is the fact that there aren’t real gate-keepers nor industry secrets that are kept. Everyone is supportive and generous with sharing their knowledge.

[13:05] Becoming a bookkeeper can lead to other opportunities too – like in the case of Alyssa Lang, for instance, who is now known as the Workflow Queen.

[14:54] According to Hannah, starting and owning a business really adds to your personal development as a person. It creates a new layer to people.
