I do it on the side for friends and family. I would start with family and friends since they will be more patient with you and also work with the ones that don’t want a discount lol. Doing bookkeeping and running a business, even if it’s small has additional work you don’t think about. The admin with the llc, software subscriptions, issues with the subscription, Insurance, client portal or google drive, getting clients to provide data….. let me know if you have specific questions. But the main thing to do is start and see what prices will work and how long it takes you and other things you can’t forsee.
