    Hello,

    I currently work at a private mftg firm as a staff accountant on a long-term temp basis. It’s somewhat flexible hours, and I’m considering working part time in order to allow for some freelance accounting work –

    Has anyone ever done this & have suggestions on how to start? An idea I’ve had is doing bookkeeping for small or new companies in town. Any thoughts appreciated!!

    Well, I have run my own business for 20 years as a small bookkeeping and tax business. After I pass the test my intention is to convert to a CPA firm. How to do that, I have no idea. It's my goal anyway. Or try and jump in with someone already established.

    I want to do the same thing. I am currently a Financial Controller for a manufacturing business, but I want to start my own business now and work my way to a work at home mom.

    What kind of side business are you intending to pursue? Is this going to be A&A/tax/bkpg related or are you intending to launch something in a different industry using your accounting skillset?

    I do bookkeeping but don't get paid for it LOL, for a small nonprofit, for a nonprofit youth sports league and for a girl scout troop. There are websites like taskrabbit to get leads, if you are a quickbooks proadvisor you are listed on their website or you can advertise on craigslist under services. Also there are often bookkeeping services that hire for part time work.
