Building Your Bookkeeping VA Business
The Highest-Paid VA Skill You Are Missing
Virtual assistants who can handle bookkeeping earn 30-50% more than general VAs. With thousands of small businesses in the US, Canada, and Australia looking for affordable bookkeeping support, this is one of the most in-demand VA specializations.
This 15-day course teaches you bookkeeping from scratch — no accounting background needed. You will start by understanding why bookkeeping VAs are in high demand, then learn to read financial statements before touching any software. From there, you will get hands-on with real bookkeeping workflows: recording income and invoicing, tracking expenses and bills, bank reconciliation, accounts receivable and collections, and accounts payable and vendor management.
QuickBooks, Xero, and Beyond
You will spend multiple days inside QuickBooks Online — setting up a client's books, navigating the interface, and building confidence with the tool clients use most. The course also introduces Xero, so you can serve clients on either platform. You will learn payroll basics and contractor payments, how to perform a monthly close and generate financial reports, and how to provide tax preparation support — skills that make you indispensable to your clients.
The final day covers building your bookkeeping VA business: how to package and price your services, find clients who need this specific skill, and position yourself for premium rates. By Day 15, you will have the skills and confidence to offer bookkeeping as a high-value service.
