So let’s face it. While you can make good money preparing taxes 6 months of the year, it’s always nice to have a backup plan. And even better than a backup plan is an expanded business offering multiple services appealing to a target market. You already know that financial services are in demand. Many don’t feel comfortable doing their own taxes and look for a tax preparer’s help. Many more don’t feel comfortable managing their own finances and look for an accountant’s help. Imagine the success you could achieve in combining those two valuable services into one, convenient business. Your current clients would come to you for their accounting and bookkeeping needs while new clients would see you as a full-service financial provider. And you would become your own boss, managing your schedule and income as you’ve always dreamed!
Find a Niche Market
It’s always good to establish yourself in a niche market. Why? Because then you can market your specific skills to consumers who need them. You become the financial provider who understands this niche market’s needs, and they can trust you to provide unique services they won’t easily find elsewhere.
Consider the small business. For years, universities and training programs have been teaching accountants corporate accounting skills. These graduates are ready to tackle big businesses. Yahoo! The only problem is that big businesses (with more than 100 employees) make for only 2% of accounting opportunities. What “accounts” for the rest? The small business.
Growing at a remarkable speed, small and medium-sized businesses make up 98% of accounting opportunities. And it shouldn’t surprise you that these businesses have special needs, and the application of those corporate accounting skills just don’t work with this special niche market. They need accountants and bookkeepers well-versed in small business accounting.
Develop Unique Skills
Small businesses have special needs. It probably doesn’t surprise you that over 50% of small businesses fail, and much of that failure can be attributed to poor financial management. These small business owners aren’t like you; they go into business because they’re good at developing their own special service, and that service isn’t accounting. Most of them need professional help, a small business accountant that will guide them to a more profitable business.
