I started my own bookkeeping and accounting company at the beginning of 2008. I have had a few clients over the past year and half. I have also picked up and lost clients in that same period of time. What I have discovered is that either no one needs me, or everyone needs me. I tell clients that I am always available for them. I have always been able to live up to this, because I have not had a heavy work load, and clients rarely call me outside of little questions here and there.
Recently, I have had several people call on me at one time. I believe that I can handle this, once I sit down and work out my schedule. I plan on doing a fantastic job so that I not only retain the clients I have, but also pick up some new clients along the way.
