Recommendations for target markets for new bookkeeper!

I am just starting my bookkeeping practice and am looking for new clients. Can anyone recommend what type of businesses to target for someone that is relatively new to Quickbooks so that I can get my feet wet without getting in over my head?

Service based businesses are a good target --no inventory and hopefully no payroll.  I wrote an article about using ReferenceUSA to get a contact list to help you with marketing.  It's on my blog -- click the tag for ReferenceUSA or marketing to find it. www.longforsuccess.com/blog

How long have you been doing bookkeeping? Just because you are a ProAdvisor does not mean that you can start offering services to businesses. Knowing how to use QuickBooks does not mean you know accounting or bookkeeping. I highly suggest you first seek employment somewhere as a bookkeeper so that you can get some experience. If you insist on doing this without experience make sure you get really good professional liability insurance.
