Description
An established bookkeeping business can often be one of the most profitable and desirable small businesses an owner or entrepreneur can own. Bookkeeping businesses can be very profitable, especially when managed effectively and focused on delivering high-quality client service. Here is your chance to live and work in one of the most desirable and sought-after locations in the USA, plus make a very good living, with plenty of opportunities to expand and grow the business. This well-established bookkeeping business in the Santa Cruz area is currently maxed out, and is in fact turning away clients or else putting them on a wait list. The business receives from 3 to 5 calls per week from potential new clients. Word of mouth recommendations, plus excellent name recognition and reputation keep this small office busy all year long, and owner reports no seasonality. Current services offered include bookkeeping and payroll services. Also clean-up work from other competitors. If you are good with numbers and attention to detail, or would like to be, this may be your golden opportunity! Experienced and respected current owner more than happy to train as needed, and perhaps stay on in a limited capacity to consult or advise. Add a qualified accountant, bookkeeper, or even a tax preparer and grow the business with no other increase in overhead. Bookkeeping services are always in demand!
The seller feels that the best fit would most likely be a hands-on owner, with at least some sort of physical presence and a physical office, rather than completely virtual and online. The seller understands this may not happen, however. The seller estimates that 80-90% of the clients are QBO, with the remaining approx. 10% in-person.
