Pricing Help
As a new business owner I am looking for suggestions on how much to charge for my services and the best methods to use. My informal local survey puts other bookkeepers rates at about a $45/hr average. Is this a reasonable starting rate?

That is probably just below the average for a ProAdvisor.
Log in to your ProAdvisor account and you can see the last Fee Survey done by Intuit in 2009. If I recall just under $65 was the average fee for ProAdvisors.
Initial feedback for the 2011 survey indicates that the average has come down since 2009.
