Introducing the Bespoke Accounting Bookkeepers Club
I have often been told by bookkeepers that I meet that they currently only see the threats to their livelihood. The main threat is around technology and a strong feeling that desktop software will become redundant.
At the same time their client expectations are changing and moving away from the bookkeeper's traditional offering. It is certainly true that some micro-business owners are looking to do more themselves - and are finding it easier to do so.

There's still a bright future ahead for bookkeepers
But there are still many opportunities and bookkeeping doesn't need to suffer. Bookkeepers just need to know their market and attract the clients that value their skilled contribution. It is imperative for them to communicate to their clients the true value of using a qualified bookkeeper.
Although many bookkeepers may fear competition from firms of accountants, we understand the importance of working with qualified bookkeepers - whether they are internal to the business or external. With their clients under attack more than ever, we want to help bookkeepers to retain their existing relationship based clients whilst attracting new business in the future.
Help is at hand
For this reason, Bespoke Accounting is now offering a comprehensive support programme for qualified bookkeepers, both in practice and in industry. There are three levels of subscription offering a range of solutions to help bookkeepers to embrace the opportunities and protect themselves from the threats.
Subscriptions are payable monthly and can be cancelled after three months by giving a month's notice. We ask you to commit to three months to give you every opportunity to get value from your membership.
All relationships are about trust and naturally we undertake not to compete with the bookkeepers joining our bookkeepers club. We will never contact your clients unless you ask us to and only with your express permission. As we get to know each other and develop mutual trust, there will hopefully be opportunities to work together.
If you have not yet moved your clients or your own business on to cloud based accounting software, we will help you to reap the rewards that it brings. We believe that Xero is the market leader and is at the core of our services.
You are invited to join our club.
