Buying Bookkeeping Clients
If you are an experienced bookkeeper with your own client base, then you may be familiar with the difficulties of obtaining good quality bookkeeping clients.
Marketing your bookkeeping services to win new clients is often not easy, especially when you’re busy doing bookkeeping work already of course. Using a marketing agency can be costly and sometimes fruitless. You’re paying for their marketing services with no guarantees at all of actually gaining any good new clients from this. Alternatively, doing your own marketing can be quite a big time commitment and since you’re not likely to be a skilled marketer yourself the results here can also be disappointing.
Often, when you do take on board a new client as a result of your marketing activity you may find that there are various potential issues to resolve. The books can sometimes be way out of date and hence needing a lot of catch up work to be done. Sometimes the client has made errors and so the bookkeeping work already done is in need of rectification. This can all be time consuming and in some cases there can be an obstacle to navigate right from the start in terms of charging for this catch up and/or rectification work.
By purchasing (an interest in) a portfolio of clients from an experienced bookkeeper, you will be taking over clients whose bookkeeping records are up to date and accurate, and you’d be able to have good, clear, detailed handovers for all client accounts with the selling bookkeeper. So this avoids any issues with having to do catch up work and rectification work.
This provides a solid basis to maximise the chances of full client retention if you are able to offer an equal (or better) service to the clients than the selling bookkeeper was offering.
