Is this a good idea for a home business?
I am qualified in accounts and I know both MYOB and Quick Books. Would it be a good idea to start a home business where I manage accounts using the computer program of their choice? And if so, how should I charge for the service?
I mean, I set up their company file in either MYOB or Quickbooks. they then give me all their paperwork and I input the information into the program. i also pay their bills and receive payments if they wish. I will organise all the admin side of things.
The power isn’t a problem – the computer is on all day anyway. I already do book work for a couple of companies but not from home. I am qualified. Not sure if i should charge per hour or per weeek or by the amount of work they have etc

Elle,
Where are you based? I presume Australia as you have mentioned MYOB.
I suggest you contact some bookkeeping associations like the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers or the Australian Bookkeepers Association they will provide you with a lot of support starting your business.
I am not sure what ‘qualified in accounts means’? Does this mean your are Tax Act S251 compliant?
