Has tax accounting been a kind career to you? I'm finding it hard to sustain with my career path because I was sure I don't want to do taxes for organisations, but client acquisition has been really hard. What are you doing to have a steady business for yourself? Are you mostly finding them through your online presence or word of mouth?

It's not easy, but if you figure out a way to think out of the box - maybe you can build a strong online presence through a website or social media platforms. For me personally, word-of-mouth referrals have been the most effective way to grow my client base. I'm extra social with my clients, and trust me, it's paid off well ;D

If you are starting from scratch, it can be a huge challenge, but don’t let that discourage you! I went down this path too and am still learning a lot. Social media, if you are already active there, can be good. However, my serious clients mostly came from business sites, Yelp, making a Google business listing, if you have anything local, absolutely promote there. Word of mouth will be your best friend, but you have to get started before that can even happen.
