Offering quality accounting services with a business of your own

To start an accounting business requires a lot of work and attention to detail, like any small business does, but per Thomson Reuters, accounting firms are one of the most profitable small businesses a person can start right now in the United States.

Skilled professionals are in high demand, as evidenced by Accounting Today listing finding and recruiting talent as the No. 1 issue facing firms right now. If you start an accounting business, you will more than likely have more business owners requesting your services than you will have time.

Small businesses will always need to file taxes, manage cash flow and keep track of profits, and they rely on skilled professionals to do so. This creates a massive opportunity for those with certified accounting, bookkeeping, tax planning and CFO and advisory abilities.

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to increase your income by starting a bookkeeping business or starting an accounting business with Universal Accounting Center. Universal Accounting Center’s turnkey system for starting and building a business will teach you the skills you need to offer quality services confidently and competently.

Imagine yourself meeting with a client, bursting with confidence after completing online bookkeeping training and online tax training courses. You can set your own hours, manage your workload to your desire, and work from anywhere. It's a life changing opportunity for anyone with the right skills.

You could be doing this in just four to six weeks using Universal Accounting’s proven process for starting a bookkeeping business and/or starting a tax business. Hundreds of professionals have started accounting businesses offering myriad services through Universal Accounting Center. In fact, the professionals who start the most profitable firms are those who pair bookkeeping and tax preparation with CFO and advisory services.

Our Certified Courses

Professional Bookkeeper Certification Course

Professional Bookkeeper™ designation represents a person who is proficient in the day-to-day practical application of the accounting process in small to mid-sized businesses.

QuickBooks Specialist™ Certification

Mastering QuickBooks can help you enhance your standing with a current employer or enhance your practice by adding setup, consultation, and help services to your skills set.

Professional Tax Preparer Certification Course

Professional Tax Preparer™ is Universal Accounting School’s unique program that affirms & validates the skills and abilities of an individual to perform tax preparation services for individuals & businesses.

Become a Profit &
Growth Expert™

This proven system empowers you to confidently offer consultative accounting services as a value add to traditional bookkeeping (write-up) accounting and tax work.

Getting your business started

These programs are designed for professionals to make what typically would take months, without proper coaching and mentorship, happen in just weeks. With Universal’s team of academic, life, and marketing coaches offering advice throughout the program and years after completion, you can start a bookkeeping business, start a tax business or start an accounting business that is the premier service provider in your area.

You’ll be in business for yourself but not by yourself. We want to see you succeed on your terms with the support you need. Here’s how it works:

Before you dive into any of the material on starting your business and working with clients, you’ll work with an Orientation Counselor and a life coach to help you understand what to expect in the life of an Accountrepreneur. They’ll help guide you through any feelings of self-doubt or uncertainty that naturally come with embarking on this new journey.

The first online accounting course you’ll take, The Color Accounting Program, centers on learning how to communicate effectively about the needs of the businesses you serve to their owners. It’s easy for clients to get lost in the morass of balance sheets, reconciliations, PNLs, and more that accounting professionals are used to dealing with on a day-to-day basis.

Professional Bookkeeping and Tax Preparation

With that understanding in hand, you’ll then become a certified Professional Bookkeeper with Universal Accounting’s online bookkeeping training program. These courses mitigate the trial and error of learning to run a business as you go.

You’ll learn using real-life scenarios that will simulate what clients will expect from their trusted bookkeeper. And you’ll have an academic coach waiting in the wings to answer any questions you may have about the materials. As part of this online bookkeeping training, you’ll learn the ins and outs of QuickBooks, the most popular software in the world for professional bookkeepers.

Bookkeeping pairs perfectly with tax preparation because the bulk of what tax professionals do is gather financial documents from their clients to use when filing returns. Why not make it easier on your clients and offer tax services with your bookkeeping business?

That’s why the next step in the program is online tax training. Those who become a certified Professional Tax Preparer in conjunction with becoming a certified Professional Bookkeeper are able to earn more profits from fewer clients by offering both services.

Maximizing your value as a Profit and Growth Expert

The third pillar of the most profitable accounting firms next to bookkeeping and tax preparation is CFO and advisory services. Being able to assess a businesses’ past is what a bookkeeper is for, but business owners need more from their accountants these days than just that. They need the fresh perspective of an expert and actionable plans to put into practice to keep their business in the black. That’s where those who become certified Profit and Growth Experts can shine.
Profit and Growth Experts are like coaches for business owners who often don’t have anyone they can talk to about their business. You’ll teach them cash flow management and sales techniques to increase their top line revenue and keep the business healthy and growing.

With these three services at your disposal – bookkeeping, tax preparation and CFO business advisory services – you will be well on your way to building the premier accounting firm in your area. Universal Accounting will give you all of the training, mentorship and confidence you need to offer these quality services.

The Accountrepreneur’s Journey has been life changing for hundreds of Universal Accounting Center alumni. You can reach your lifestyle and income goals in a short period of time. Our team of expert coaches wants nothing more than to see you succeed, as they have with so many other accounting professionals.
