I’ve vetted many bookkeepers for my business and clients. There is no shortage. You might consider joining Paro which is an exclusive talent marketplace for finance only professionals. I’ve hired talent from there and had a great experience.

That would be a pretty solid idea OP, you should consider this

It seems like a reasonable side gig. Where do you plan on advertising?

You also may want to consider going the bookkeeping franchise route to simplify things

Unfortunately, I don’t know of anyone who has. However, this does seem like a good side gig idea.

Do you know someone that might be able to help or are their better sites to search for a Co Founder?
