Why do accountants charge more than BOOKKEEPERS? And how to charge more (Recording from Accountex)

Bookkeepers and accountants are typically two distinct roles, yet they can often appear interchangeably in the same conversation due to their related functions. So why is it that Bookkeepers typically charge less than Accountants? During the Accountex Manchester, we took center stage to discuss this hot topic which set our Facebook Community, 6 Figure Bookkeepers' Club, abuzz. During our talk, we discussed the results of a survey we ran to determine average hourly rates and compare the differences between bookkeepers and accountants. We found that bookkeepers charge £20-£35 per hour on average. According to our survey of members within the 6 Figure Bookkeepers’ Club, bookkeepers charge on average £20 per hour, and accountants charge on average £60 per hour. Our goal with this discussion is to help: Bookkeepers understand their value Strengthen the relationship between bookkeeping and accounting Emphasize the importance of community and relationship building Episode Highlights: 0:00 Introduction 1:00 Our story of becoming Bookkeeping professionals brought us together to create the 6-Figure Bookkeepers Club.
