There are two main ways to work as a bookkeeper from home: 1) By setting yourself up as an independent bookkeeping service and 2) Becoming a bookkeeping freelancer and becoming part of a bookkeeping service’s team. The first option is more geared to an entrepreneurial person and who can put lots of energy and time into their business. The second option is more practical for most seniors who don’t want to be “married” to their job.
Below are listed companies that hire freelance, remote bookkeepers. They are used to and accept “older” applicants. Some of these companies also need other office skills, so if you have experience as a secretary or clerk, you might get work that requires these skills as well. If you have no prior bookkeeping experience, then you will probably need to demonstrate aptitude and interest. In any event, you need to have good skills in math and be detail oriented to be successful in these jobs.
