- A monthly package for a fixed number of hours reassures small clients.
- Specialise in one trade (builders, health professionals) to stand out.
Watch out for
- Handle client data with care: personal logins, and never a password sent by email.
- Do not do the accounts or tax returns in place of a chartered accountant.
