Self Employment:
A New Career In Four Short Weeks

As seen in The Salt Lake Tribune

Most students who attend the unique training courses offered by Universal Accounting Center are looking for a change. Perhaps they want to move u in their current job and take on new responsibilities. Possibly they are unemployed and want to enter a new career, or find better employment with a higher earning potential.

Or, perhaps they’ve decided the time has come to start their own business at home - and they need training and encouragement to take that first step toward greater independence and security. If you fall into one of these categories, in less than a month you’ll find the accounting and bookkeeping training and confidence you need at Universal.

For nearly 20 years, graduates of Universal have been thrilled as their income improved and their career opportunities increased. In fact, Universal’s exclusive courses have developed a nationwide reputation for providing an effective, fast-track education in accounting and bookkeeping.

What does it take to be a good bookkeeper? According to Allen Bostrom, CPA and president of Universal, it takes someone who likes to work with numbers, and who has a good mind for details. Bookkeepers and accountants should be people with high ethics - they’re the people who record and handle the finances for businesses.

Good bookkeepers always look for ways to help their companies improve financially, and are a great asset. Bookkeepers should like to help people, because they are the ones upon which everyone else in the company depends.

“Accounts payable, accounts receivable and payroll are the areas that seem to be in particularly high demand in the Salt Lake area. We receive lots of calls and requests for employees with these skills,” says Bostrom. “All a person needs to do is look under the accounting and bookkeeping sections of the classified ads to see the multitude of jobs from which to choose.”

How much may one expect to earn? Accounts receivable and accounts payable clerks’ salaries will generally range between $16,500 to $26,000 per year. Payroll clerks will range between $20,000 to $26,000 per year, according to the Robert Half 1998 Salary Guide.

There’s a great need for “full-charge” bookkeepers as well - those who can manage the entire bookkeeping process, including preparation of financial statements at month’s end. These highly skilled employees can make between $26,000 and $40,000 per year, depending on background, training and experience. No college degree is generally required for these great positions.

People who have decided it’s time to open their own bookkeeping and accounting business can make between $20 and $50 per hour, when doing the work on a contract (self-employed) basis. Since they usually work out of their own home, the start-up costs are low - often not much more than the price of acquiring a business license, calculator, business cards, stationary and sometimes a computer - although a computer isn’t mandatory. Bookkeeping can be done quite well by hand.

They can start their business while still employed at their “day job”, and do the bookkeeping on their time off, or they can jump into their new business full time and build it as quickly as they choose.

One of Universal’s students who opened her office at home had all the clients she and her husband could handle working full-time, within two months. In fact, many students have their first clients before even finishing the four-week class. This often happens when the students are excited about their new direction. Students who choose to start their own accounting and bookkeeping business are thrilled with the independence, freedom and income that working at home provides.

Universal has new classes starting soon that can prepare you to take charge of your life and find a new, rewarding career. You’ll find the classes are small and offer a lot of personal attention. Also, they consist of a variety of people: those with non experience: those with years of on-the-job experience: and those with various degrees of professional designations. Even CPA’s are enrolled in the classes almost every time they are offered.

No matter what your experience level, you’ll gain much from the classes. The information would take you years to acquire on your own. From debits and credits, to dealer financing, to construction, manufacturing and retail operations - you’ll gain hands-on, practical experience that you won’t find anywhere else.

Students’ satisfaction is guaranteed, or their tuition refunded in its entirety.

March Your Career Forward This Month

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises. - Demosthenes

Too many people are thinking of security instead of opportunity. They seem to be more afraid of life than death. - James F. Bymes

Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Alva Edison

I refuse to make New Year resolutions until all the hype has died down. Something about the New Year frenzy makes me uncomfortable about setting goals simply because everyone else is. I like the time to really assess my life before determining where I would like to steer it. And now is about the time I do that.

If you’re anything like me you used to dream about all you could do with your life. The road ahead seems long and endless when you’re twenty-years young. It only takes a few years before you realize just how quickly time flies, and how quickly you can get stuck in a career your don’t like, moving further and further from those dreams. The more complacent you become in your current position, the more impossible those dreams appear. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

There’s no time like the present to start your own accounting practice. Perhaps you have fantasized about being your own boss, working as little or as much as you’d like, calling the shots, and catapulting you and your family into a new and improved lifestyle. And luckily, you’re pining over a very profitable business opportunity. Of all the home business options, a Bookkeeping and Accounting practice is considered by some to be one of the best. In fact, Paul and Sarah Edwards, authors of The Best Home Businesses for the 21st Century, rate a bookkeeping service as the “Best of the Best” home-based businesses.

The Benefits of Having Your Own Accounting and Bookkeeping Practice

There are many reasons why an accounting practice makes so much sense. Here’s a list of some of those reasons:

• Every business is required by law to keep books
• You can earn a good living (the average client will bring in about $300 per month)
• It’s an inexpensive business to start (you probably have most of what is required right now)
• No expensive equipment is required
• You can work anytime, any place
• Rented office space is not required
• Inventory is not required
• You can make money doing what you enjoy

But where do you start?

Since Alf Bostrom founded Universal Accounting Center in 1979, UAC has trained countless financial professionals in the practical application of small business accounting. The field is wide with opportunity. Consider all the local small businesses in your area. They need a competent professional, a Profit Expert, to help guide their businesses to success. And with over 50% of small businesses failing within the first five years, it doesn’t take much to convince these business owners that your services more than pay for themselves.

We Help You Develop the Skills

The Professional Bookkeeper Program is designed specifically to address the needs of small businesses, and Universal Accounting Center’s small business accounting course is the most complete of anything else offered today. And depending on your schedule and situation, it will only take you 60 hours to complete. Imagine earning professional certification in less than one month!

We Help You Secure the Clients

One of the greatest challenges for many small business owners comes in the marketing. You may love working with numbers but groan at the thought of promoting your services and expertise. Universal Accounting Center understands this struggle and can help you eliminate it with the Universal Practice Builder Program.

UAC has developed a turn-key marketing solution which will enable you to grow your business with our proven system. You could work for years on a marketing plan, hitting and missing, only to find your business growing at a snail’s pace. Imagine learning which marketing strategies work in less than 60 hours.

Not only that but we guarantee you will earn more than $30,000 in increased annualized billings in just 12 months!

How Bright Is Your Future?

The older we get the more dreams tend to fade. Fortunately we can find hope in something as simple as two Universal courses. The price of these courses is a small investment in a future that will more than pay for itself within the first year. Don’t hesitate to make your dreams happen. Imagine yourself earning the income you deserve from the comfort of your own home. Now make it happen! Order today.

We have been in the Accounting and Bookkeeping business since 1979 and have seen, and been a part of many successful businesses that provide write-up and daily bookkeeping services for small businesses. We have seen and put into practice the highly effective strategies, tactics and methods of Accounting and business and experienced many times over the exhilaration of dreams realized and company goals met by following what is taught in our courses.

One constant that has run over the course of the last 25+ years in the role of the accounting employee, and the inability to be paid equal to who they work for. The constraints that naturally come with such a position do not allow, in our day and age of business, to remain an accounting underling, and pay for the best in life.

Perhaps you’ve experienced these limitations yourself. The following are just some of the things we have observed about that type of a position.

• Strapped down by what someone else thinks you need to be paid – Entry level pay aside, for those who have been conducting accounting duties for years have found that their pay is determined by what someone else (usually their boss) thinks they need to be paid. Sometimes the driving factor is what the company can afford, regardless of that someone else is making the decision what your time is worth.
• Kept to the 3% cost-of-living pay increase – Pay increases are limited to usually the 3% cost-of living increase that companies dole out each year. This is designed only to keep the employee on pace with inflation. Not a way to increase their bottom line and take home pay. It’s been said that when you’re just treading water you’re only one arm stroke from drowning.
• Control of your position out of your hands – How much you are paid is completely dependant on the fancy, whim or circumstance of the:
  • Economy – Businesses are smart to expand and shrink as the market demands, but most times this tactic leaves their employees high and dry. Accounting and Bookkeeping services are as recession-proof as you can get.
  • Bosses – We’ve all experienced that type of boss that doesn’t have our best interest in mind. Whether conflicts of personality, or purpose or even professional knowledge come into play, who usually wins… The boss.
  • Corporate Culture – Corporate culture with some companies can be cutthroat and demeaning. Even if it makes no difference either way it isn’t set up with your welfare in mind, but the welfare of the company. Many employees can get lost in the welfare of the Corporation.
• No matter how well you do, usually pay remains the same until your yearly review – All of us like to be rewarded in a position in what we do and when we do exceptionally well we would like that reflected in our take home pay. Most of the time this is not possible to do until HR schedules out your yearly reviews. By the time that can roll around, the momentum of that wonderful result would have lost its luster and the realized impact on the company would have waned.

So How Can All This Benefit Me?

You may be thinking, “I’m looking for work, not to go out on my own, why am I still reading this?” Frankly, for some people to be their own bosses is not in their make-up. It’s just not something that they do not have the discipline to do. However for those types of people like you and me, it’s time to consider and weigh the immediate pain and work for the overall results and rewards. First let me ask you this question, can you afford NOT to go out on your own with the help of the Professional Bookkeeping Course? Let’s run some numbers.

Let’s take the entry level pay for an average accountant and boost it a bit. Let’s say you are making around $20 an hour currently and you are a healthy 30-35 year old person working the normal 40 hours a week, 50 weeks out of the year. (2 weeks off for vacation of course, don’t want to work you into the ground do we?) Before taxes that’s $3200 a month or $38,400 a year, not too shabby. Not taking into consideration the taxes, health benefits and 401K situations most companies have, over the course of the next fifteen years ( and taking into the equation of the 3% yearly living expense increase each year) your earning potential only reaches $59,826 a year for a 15-year gross total of $774,025.

You’re probably thinking, “Ok, what’s wrong with making $59K by the time I’m 45 years old, three-fourth of a million dollars is a lot of money”… Yeah, look where you can be if instead of $20 an hour you were making $45 an hour on your own (taking the same formula above).

• Your starting gross yearly pay would be $86,400 (a $48,000 difference to START).
• Adjusting the 3% increase of living each year by the end of that 15 years your yearly gross income would come to a mere $134,608.
• A whopping difference of $74,782 a year between the two!
• Over the course of those 15 years you loose out on potential earning of nearly $970,000 dollars.

And this is not considering if you grow your Accounting practice to require employees and dozens of clients. This is only taking into account what you can do! So I ask again, can you afford NOT to get this program?

The Accounting Profession: Guaranteed Success

My kids have one of those miniature basketball hopes we keep in the house. They don’t like to play with me because making baskets is a “no brainer” when you tower above the hoop. Wouldn’t it be nice to find a “no brainer” career, where you tower over success?

Every business, whether it be an auto shop, a high-level marketing firm, or an art gallery, must perform accounting functions. Not only is it required by law, but good accounting helps a business assess its progress and take steps to become even more profitable. Because of this, good accountants are a priceless commodity, and when they do their job well they become invaluable to the company they work for. The accounting profession can be your “no brainer” career, with guaranteed success just as close as a miniature basketball hoop.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that by 2008 accounting jobs will increase by 20%! That’s just two years from now. “In addition to openings resulting from growth, the need to replace accountants and auditors who retire, or transfer to other occupations, will produce numerous openings in this large occupation,” the bureau said in a recent report. Imagine how many jobs that represents. And imagine how many of them you could choose from.

Catapult Yourself to a Lucrative Career
The amazing thing is that you could learn accounting by the end of the year; your New Year’s resolution could be to get one of those prime accounting jobs. Finally, a resolution you could fulfill by the end of January! But how? It takes four years to get an accounting degree at a standard university. And they only train you in corporate accounting, which represents 2% of accounting opportunities out there. What makes up the 98%? Small business, and Universal Accounting Center knows small business accounting!

The Professional Bookkeeper Program
The Universal Accounting Professional Bookkeeper course was originally created by Alf Bostrom when he became frustrated that no course existed to teach a hands-on process of small business accounting.

The course has evolved over the last 25 years into a comprehensive program in the day-to-day bookkeeping of a small business. And our graduates have found that the principles also apply exceptionally well to larger companies. You not only get the theory taught in college, but you are taught by practical examples of real-world companies. From a bakery to a car lot, you will do books for 9 businesses and see how they are similar and how they differ.

And the best part, you can complete the course in 60 hours; if you start today you could finish the program by the holidays and relax for a month before starting on that New Years resolution! Or take your time and work slowly through the holidays. The nice thing about this program is that you can study on your own time and at your own pace.
