Bookkeeping is one of the most in-demand, low-startup-cost businesses you can launch — and this course gives you the complete roadmap.

Led by Lisa Newton, a bookkeeper and business owner with over 20 years' experience who started her own firm with just £150, this course takes you from idea to first client - and beyond.

What you'll cover:

  • The mindset and planning you need before you launch

  • Legal requirements, software setup and the essentials to get started fast

  • 14 proven ways to win your first clients in 14 days

  • How to price your services, retain clients and manage your cashflow

  • Real-world exercises using actual client scenarios (Mrs Jones, Mr Rothwell, Malvern Wholesalers)

  • How to scale — and eventually exit — your bookkeeping business

  • NEW: Using AI tools to run a more efficient, profitable bookkeeping practice

This isn't theory. It's the exact process Lisa used to build and grow her own bookkeeping business - and what she's taught to hundreds of students who've done the same.

Whether you're a qualified bookkeeper ready to go independent, or someone exploring bookkeeping as a career change, this course gives you the practical tools, confidence and clarity to make it happen.

Includes a free copy of Lisa's book "How To Start Your Own Bookkeeping Business and Be Successful" (PDF).
