According to a recent Inc.com article by Kathleen Kim, small-business bankruptcies have decreased by about 17% in the last quarter. Could it be that we’re witnessing an economic recovery? Often small business success is the barometer of a healthy economy. If this sector continues to improve at its current rate, we could see another 20% decrease by December, which is where we were at the onset of the recession.
Amy Crews Cutts, Senior Vp and Chief Economist says, “All the conditions are ripe for us to be healthy participants in the economy. Businesses, small or large, are seeing not only a return to profitability but a reason to expand.”
Self-Employment is a Powerful Option
Many think that a recession is the worst time to launch your own financial practice. But you can see that now may be the perfect time to start your own business! And even at the end of this recession, small businesses continue to look for ways to cut expenses, and you could offer them a great alternative that will not only save them money, but perhaps help them earn more.
Small businesses are required by law to keep financial records. However, most of them cannot afford to keep an accountant on their payroll—that’s where you step in. As a contract accountant and tax professional, you could manage the finances for multiple small businesses. You can guarantee to cut their expenses and maximize their earnings which will more than pay for your fees. What small-business owner wouldn’t recognize the value in that?
Not to mention, there are countless small businesses in need of these services. If you don’t believe us, thumb through your local yellow pages to see just how many reside in your area. They represent a huge pool of prospective clients that could keep you busy year-round.
The Professional Bookkeeper Program
