Answer 1 :
There are several ways to become an accountant. I became one when I was 30. If you are having good marks and good with your Maths and English , The easy way is open to you. You can do your A/L and enter a good university. If your parents are rich options are unlimited. If not you have to apply through UCAS and If you have good marks you will get a place and a student loan. Once you complete your 1st degree or while you are halfway, you can register with professional institues which gives you qualification and license to practice. But you can become an accountant with out a degree too. There are institutes which govern accountants. Those are ICAEW, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA. See these links: http://www.careers.icaew.com/ http://www2.accaglobal.com/uk/students/welcome http://www.cimaglobal.com/Study-with-us/CIMA-at-a-glance/ http://www.cipfa.org.uk/students/prospective/ If you have not got money to do a degree or if you are not having very good marks, even then you can become an accountant. But it is hardway. You have to register with AAT (Association of Accounting Technicians) https://www.aat.org.uk/services/studentregistration/ Wish you all the best in your selected career..

Answer 1 :
£25 an hour
Answer 2 :
Try 15-20 euros an hour I know someone that charges up to 30 euros an hour working from both home and office.
Answer 3 :
you must charge at least £15 an hour
Answer 4 :
I do the same thing as you do. I suggest you request 15-20 an hour.
Answer 5 :
half of a regular accountant. pull up career builder.com and see what the running rate is.
Answer 6 :
It really depends where in the world/country you are! Same as any small company - you will be attracting local trade and need to be charging in line with other similar businesses in order to be considered. I would have a look in your local paper and those from surrounding areas for similar services & scale your prices accordingly.
Answer 7 :
$10-12/hr. small businesses dont want to pay that much for help.
Answer 8 :
depends on how much work you want to do for them and how much they require to be done. for basic data entry, ie just loading on invoices and process receipts and payments, I would charge between £9-£12 an hour. if yor doing a bit more like reconciling the bank / cash, then maybe up to £15. if you do more, like prepare monthly figures ie monthly profit and loss, then at least £20. if you take it further and provide monthly analysis and your thoughts on how well the business is doing, then anywhere around £30. if you prepare a full year end pack, ready to go to the accountants and also be available for queries from an accountant then some people charge upto £50 an hour. what ever you do, dont under sell yourself as it will make it harder to up the prices when you find yourself over crowded with work or need more money to survive on and dont be afraid to turn away work if the price isnt right.
Answer 9 :
Rates vary according to the area you live. The best way to find out the going rates is to call around to bookkeepers in your area and ask them what they charge. Whatever you do, don't charge what you're currently making per hour as an employed bookkeeper. You can make much more as a self employed bookkeeper and you must take your overhead expenses into consideration (even if you're working out of your home).
Answer 10 :
Hi I do the same as you but I don't charge by the hour. I charge a regular weekly/ monthly fee dependant on the AGREED amount of work to be done - usually works out about £25 - 40 per week. The quicker you complete the work - the higher the hourly rate. Any additional work is charged extra. By having an agreed fee you both know what costs are being incurred.

Answer 1 :
you know what...listen to Fox vvvvv he clearly knows more than the chief exec of the biggest sports brand in the world.
Answer 2 :
Man Utd currently have a £504m bond issue in THEIR name, don't forget. Plus the club has been valued at £1.2bn. That's Stadium, Players, Training Grounds, Retail Stores and Merchandise Production. Every penny that United spend on transfers is not put into repaying the debt, which to anyone with sense is suicidal. At 16.25% on the PIK notes which mature in 2017 and CANNOT be paid off until then (not even small payments) although United can theoretically spend up to £80m every season, they elect not to to repay the other debts for fear that by 2017, when the debt matures and they have to pay, it will have risen to an amount they will be unable to repay and Glazer will sacrifice Man Utd, the ONLY company that makes a profit, to the banks. I fins it amazing that some people still want to gloss over what Glazer has done!
