Hi, I hope this message finds you all well!

I am wanting to start working freelance as a book-keeper. I have a 1st class accounting and finance degree (obtained in 2001), have worked in an accountancy practice and also industry. This gave me knowledge of Sage, Quickbooks and IRIS. However due to personal circumstances have not worked in the accounting arena since 2006!

My aim is to qualify with the ICB. Part of my plan was to look for about 4 hours a week of record keeping to trial balance, (no VAT, payroll, final accounts, prepayments, accruals etc) to help finance the study.

I was going to approach local book-keepers/accountants/ self employed persons to see if they wanted anyone in the capacity of doing the initial work of making sense of a box of receipts.

Now to the point of this post - looking through your past posts it looks like this isn't viable as I would need PII. Can anyone offer any advice?

Many thanks in advance, Kerry.

Hi Kerry,

Welcome to the greatest bookkeeping forum in the world!!!!

Anyway, you probably should have PII and you definitely need to be regulated for money laundering, but these are not massive boundaries to setting up.  if you get to ICB level 2 you can be regulated by them, or if you cant wait, you can just be regulated by HMRC, (not as bad as it sounds).

 

Speak soon.

 

Nick

Thanks for your help Nick. I know no-one has a crystal ball but does my idea sound plausible (the finding just record keeping bit)? Many thanks Kerry
