Starting Out As Self-Employed Bookkeeper - Steps And Tips?

[LittleSquidge]

I am thinking of becoming a self-employed bookkeeper.

I am looking for flexibility so that we can potentially start a family - full time childcare is so expensive!

I am AAT and ATT qualified with five years of experience within business, practice and tax advisory work.

So what steps should I take to begin? e.g. PI insurance, software, etc.

It will just be me, with no employees.

Any tips?

Thanks in advance!
