    I ordered this when I began my bookkeeping business. I was very happy with all the information and resources it provides. The book also offers form samples that are so helpful when you are just starting, those lists and contracts can be overwhelming. I am based in Canada, but I still found lots of the US information was very applicable to our country.

    Julie covers a huge range of start-up information for the motivated entrepreneur! As I read her manual, it's like sitting in my favorite college class absorbing every detail and knowing exactly the steps needed to be successful. In addition, I absolutely love her writing style! It is filled with experiential insights and professional observations. Currently, I am following her recommendations and will be "opening up shop" very soon. If I have not purchased Julie's book, the process would be frustrating. Julie's wisdom and guidance is saving me from rookie mistakes. Thank you, Julie!!! By the way how about another book?

    This is the best book I could have ever found online and bought. It has more information than any other 'How to Start a Bookkeeping Business ' book has. Very detailed and when I requested my coupon for the downloadable forms the writer sent me a personal message in my email. I was so shocked. She even like my business name (Tax Pros 911 & Bookkeeping Services). Don't buy any other book involving starting your own Bookkeeping business, but this one. She did a fantastic job with this book. And if she comes out with any other book, I'm buying it too. She did extremely well. I promise you want regret buying any of her books. If I had an option of given more than 5 stars, I would give her book 10 stars.

    A very informative and thorough book if you have any questions you’ll find the answers in this book it’s well put together and the author was extremely helpful when I wrote to her with a question. I did a lot of research and reading of multiple books reviews and this one came out on top.
