Hi Mike
I would say your age is an asset. I'm 50, started my practise a couple of months ago and have over 40 hours work per week. I had no previous experience in bookkeeping, save doing a two month spell as temp credit controller when I was 18. My background was in engineering, but in both fields an analytical mind and methodical approach is required - experience isn't just about how many years you've been a bookkeeper. But I will admit the learning curve is quite steep.
As James says, some clients prefer to have a slightly wrinkly bookkeeper - if you've got them flaunt them!
Cheers
Mike
