Disappointing, Nov 29 2006
By T. Geary - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Start and Run a Bookkeeping Business (Paperback)
There were some kernels of info but not many. It just hits the high points not the details. It's too concerned with profitability issues like being able to pay rent even if you work out of your house (so that if you want to sell the business the buyer would be able to pay rent). I WANT to run it from my house and a bookkeeping business is not a get-rich-quick-and-sell-the-business scheme. It's not concerned enough (much at all?) with how to market the business. The cart is waaay in front of the horse. If I could go back, I would not have bought it.

Not What I expected, Sep 4 2006
By J Morgan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Start and Run a Bookkeeping Business (Paperback)
Somewhat disappointed in the book. I was looking for more guidance in starting up a home based bookkeeping service or a smaller service--one with no employees. One of the bullets or selling points on front of book said "Run your own profitable business from home" but the book only dedicated 7-8 pages on this topic. But there was some good advice and items that made you stop and think so it wasn't a total waste.

A little disappointed, July 5 2006
By K. Twiddy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Start and Run a Bookkeeping Business (Paperback)
I was alittle disappointed. The author assumes that you're going "gung ho" & opening a bookkeeping business with a location & several employees. I was looking for more information on opening a small in-home business with just me. Of course, there are some good tips that will be helpful someday.
