I am currently a CPA, working in public accounting for the past 8 years, but I would like to start my own, little bookkeeping business (maybe a handful of clients, just to have some extra income each month). I am wondering if anyone has their own little side bookkeeping business and if so, how they started it all (acquired new clients, etc).

Thanks!
