Bookkeeping Express is Selling Franchises with Initial Investment under $50,000

Bookkeeping Express is launching a national Franchise system. The 20-year-old company is now offering Franchise Opportunities with an initial investment under $50,000.

“We are riding on the wave of demand for Certified Bookkeepers,” says Chief Executive Officer Greg Jones. “Bookkeeping Express will provide businesses throughout the U.S. a reliable, affordable source for excellent bookkeeping services. Our target market is the 26.8 million small businesses in the United States. With our training and certification program, we plan to revolutionize bookkeeping in America!”

Unique Opportunities for the Entrepreneur
Bookkeeping Express offers several unique opportunities to the entrepreneur:

• Bookkeeping Express is the only Franchise Company focusing solely on bookkeeping services nationwide.  
• Bookkeeping Express has a 20-year track record.
• The new Franchising model will offer home-based or office location options.
• Bookkeeping Express is an authorized QuickBooks affiliate.
• The franchise will include a full training and certification program recognized by the American Institute of Professional Bookkeepers.

Certified Bookkeepers
The 2008-2009 Occupational Outlook Handbook from the Department of Labor predicts that the demand for full-service bookkeepers will increase as they are called upon to do much of the work of accountants. Certified bookkeepers and those with several years of experience have the best job prospects, according to the Handbook.

“Our Certified Bookkeepers will offer a unique service in the industry and a protection to our clients,” says Chief Operating Officer Robert Stocker. “Often when you hire a bookkeeper, you have no idea of their training, certification or integrity. Every Bookkeeping Express bookkeeper will undergo a thorough training program, will be certified, will be insured, and will have oversight of their bookkeeping activities through Bookkeeping Express.”

About Bookkeeping Express
Coming out of Northern California in 1987, Bookkeeping Express started out selling services to small businesses through a licensing model.

The group purchased the rights to Bookkeeping Express in 2007 and moved its headquarters to McLean.

Currently Bookkeeping Express is offering bookkeeping services through locations in McLean and Reston, Virginia.  Additional locations in Washington, DC, Rockville and Baltimore, Maryland are scheduled to open this summer.”
