Bookkeeper Business Launch (Formerly Bookkeeper Business Academy), found online at LearnToBeABookkeeper.com, is a new online training program designed to teach people how to run a virtual bookkeeping business, even if you have no experience.
The Bookkeeper Business Academy was created by Ben Robinson, a former CPA firm owner and published author who designed this course specifically for people who are ready to start their own online business even though they don’t have a formal background in bookkeeping or accounting.
The website says that more than a thousand people have used this course to become bookkeepers and start their own business, and that the average bookkeeper makes $40,000 year using skills that are always in demand.
What You’ll Learn
This course is broken into three different Training Classes. The first class is dedicated to understanding what a bookkeeping business is all about, the seven key characteristics of a great bookkeeper, and understanding your business’s income potential.
The second class is about the exact technology and tools you need for your business, what it will cost you to start your bookkeeping business, and understanding how the right mindset will contribute to your success.
The third class is all about your future clients. This class is organized in order to teach people how to market their services, how to get the best results for their clients, and other important client based strategies for furthering your success.
What to Consider
For brand new customers, Bookkeeper Business Academy offers a free training class that is intended to teach people what they should know before they start their own business. This free class is designed to provide students with easy to understand information, using no complicated terminology or fancy theories.
This free course is obviously a good opportunity for beginners to see whether or not the full course is right for them, however, this company does not publish any information about any costs associated with their full program. This is problematic because some customers may find their program cost prohibitive and therefore shouldn’t need to waste their time with the free class.
The website does say that their course includes their Xero Certification, which is normally priced at $249 but is included in the cost of the course itself, so the class will certainly be priced higher than that.
They do say that all customers have thirty days from the date of the original purchase to return their products and request a refund, but that no refunds will be processed after thirty days.
I have signed up for this course and I absolutely love it! It's not a "get rich quick scheme." There's hard work in it like there is with anything else in life.

I’ve been eyeing this program for a while. I’ve taken the three free lessons but, since money is an issue for me, I am trying to justify the cost of this program over others that are nearly half the price or a class at a local cal college that costs even less. I really do like the way Ben teaches, and I believe the marketing aspect is a game changer, but I’m still hesitant. I have found with another online course I’ve taken that the information presented is not in great detail and found myself researching all over the internet for more complete training on what I’d already paid so much money for. Im concerned about end up finding the same issue with other online programs. Can you truly learn all you need, including how to apply principles, examples of specific lessons, and how to operate the software programs students are encouraged to purchase? Thank you.
Guarantees, HA. Sit at home, troll the internet and wait for someone to give you something. You'll be doing the same thing next year, the year after and the every year after that.
I haven't taken the course yet, and am not even sure its right for me. However, everything I've read about the guy and his course has been positive. More importantly, he is COMPLETELY upfront about the work YOU will need to do to succeed, just like any other aspect of your life.
The only guarantee is you are a bunch of sad, pathetic little trolls. Guarantees... Ridiculous
I haven't finished digging either. I wonder what I'll find next.
I guarantee you are doing the same thing for the rest of your life, waiting for someone to give you something you entitled brat!
