Hi
Just after a bit of kindly advice from those experienced practicing bookkeepers amongst us...
I've sent an email out to some local accountants offering my freeelance bookkeeping services, and have had some requests to meet. Ideally I would like to take on clients directly, but wonder whether I'm being a bit optimistic? I don't offer tax return services (other than VAT), and have pointed this out in my introductory email.
I wondered what the experiences were of others here; are accountants nervous about handing out clients for bookkeeping work? And (...the inevitable question) what sort of rates should I look to negotatiate if it were a sub-contract arrangement. I'm based in Warwickshire.
Any advice and thoughts will be very much appreciated.
Deb
