I'm new to the forum. Have been reading through a few topics and found it all very useful and interesting! I am a qualified bookkeeper and also AAT qualified. With one years experience in practice. I am at home at the moment with my one year old (and expecting my second!) Wanting to start my own business but lack confidence due to minimal experience. After reading the forums have decided to go through accountants for sub contracting work. Anyone doing this...wondering what the rates are?
I do some subcontract bookkeeping for two firms of accountants and I currently charge £15 per hour. This is less than I charge my own clients but I needed to be competitive to obtain work in the first place. Its working well at the moment and I keep getting referrals so I must be doing something right!
