Tax Preparation is the first part of a complete business service. During the tax season, you will have many clients and a large income. Some tax preparers earn enough money in the tax season to last them the full year. The illustration below illustrates when you will make the most income:
As expected, you are the busiest and best paid in the months before the normal tax filing deadline, April 15. Once taxes are filed, there are some amendments and extensions that are done, but for the most part, most tax preparation services all but close down after the tax filing deadline.
You may want to supplement your great income from tax preparation with something that is more predictable. Accounting and bookkeeping services provide just that baseline of income that can be counted on month after month.
Accounting and Bookkeeping
Accounting and bookkeeping are some of the most predictable income sources there are. Every business must by law account for income, expenses, losses, and so on for tax purposes. This is yet another reason that accounting and bookkeeping services compliment tax preparation services so well, because what you keep track of in accounting and bookkeeping you report in tax preparation. It is an easy sell to get established tax clients to get you to do their books for them and visa-versa.
By rounding out your services, you become a "one stop shop" for financial business services. Many small businesses do not want to have to work with many vendors. They would prefer to have their accountant that knows their business also take care of the tax situation. Also, accountants that know tax law are better able to structure the financial affairs of the business to its best tax advantage. At the end of the year, many things that could have been done that would result in additional deductions or credits for a small business cannot be done at that time. They can be changed for the following year, but the opportunity is often lost. When a small business Accountant is also savvy to tax law, the business owner enjoys the greatest reward.
While the income of a tax preparer is cyclic in nature, peaking in the weeks right before the tax filing deadline, the earnings potential for an accountant are much different. As they expand the number of clients that they service, their monthly income increases accordingly, as shown in the graph below:
A typical small-business accounting client will pay you $300-400 per month. In Universal Accounting's Professional Bookkeeper™ program, you will learn to easily get a new client every two weeks with little effort on your part and very little advertising and marketing expense. This client takes on average 6-8 hours per month to service, or around $30 to $60 per hour!
