Between $25 and $35 per hour depending on the volume of work for each customer. |

It depends on the amount of time you need to spend on the job as well as what the industry is charging at present.

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense to me. You, of all people, should know how to make such calculations. If not, I don't think much of the services you are offering! |

Time is money..and any time spent doing anything pertaining to your clients is "chargeable". There are "averages" paid to all professionals in the Nation, that can be found doing a search on the Internet...www.answer.com is a great one...pose the question you have and typically they'll respond with something close to what your inquiry is...don't "lowball" yourself...if you think your work is every bit as good, in not better than the competitor, why would you charge less than they would? Consider what your overhead is, machines,stock,papers,software,computer needs, etc. as well as what your "time" is worth! Good luck!! |

$40-$50 an hour for people who just need a few hours a month. If it is more hours, charge a little less |

I would charge accordingly to the work performed. Like individual people you could charge by income range and businesses charge a little more from your individual range. |

call some local accouting services and ask what they charge and adjust your rates based on that |

I think mine is a weird way of charging customers
i charge just $0.30 per entry (dont u think its very affordable)
i have 6 computers and 6 operators doing just accouting
have written a program myself - which needs just one entry for each payment and each receipt. They just have to feed in account head (expense or receipt head), description and the amount and nothing else - a bit tricky for a new operator - but has worked perfectly for last 9 years
Normally each operator completes about 600-700 entries minimum in 7 hours shift and i pay them 15$ an hour
since all the reports are generated automatically, i just need to print them
may be because of my rates are most competitive and just on output based - i have plenty of customers
just see how you can manage this way - if you have a good software - it does wonders |

it all depends on the type of work that your client is having you do. if they want you do do their taxes for them, you might want to charge per hour. however, if they want you to manage their expenses and such, you might want to charge a monthly rate depending upon how much work there is to be done. you dont want to charge too much, but too little and you wont have a home business anymore. |

Just look at your competitors and average out the price or maybe go lower. |

The accountant that we use through our small business charges per hour depending on how much work has to be done. If you are only doing one or two jobs for a company than the rates may be higher but if you are doing several jobs on a continual basis then charge less. |

The best way is to observe your local market rate first. To know thae rate, you may first pretend to be a customer and ask other freelancers for a quotation. Then you can roughly know how much you should charge to your customer. This method, i called it "Learn from your competitor". |

I would start with a barter scenario; then research your colleagues in said field for compensatory equivalents. |

You need to find out what the competition is charging, charge too much and no one will use you, charge too little and you won't make a good profit. Do a bit of research before hand and then decide.
if you have any particular overheads, these need to be considered to make sure you are covering these in your charge out rate. (from an Accountant in the UK) |

Call some of your potential competitors and ask what their fees are. Market yourself at a competitive price but make sure your profit margin is sufficient to cover your start up costs. |

I would go to school first for book keeping/accounting. You need an degree. They is big money in Accounting. I would get Job with n establish firm. When u get enough experience than if u still want to work for yourself, go for it.
Get some book and read up on the subject, but you need to get a collage degree.

Look in the help wanted pages and see the hourly rates offred by firms -- then call a few accounting temp agences and ask what they are offering for tem work
Your rate will depend n your sophistication -- are you a CPA? Can you set up automated systems (Quicken - Peachtree, etc) Can you close books and prepare financial statements. DO you have a accounting degree. What size company do you wish to serve.
What I would do is start looking for a part time job in accounting - one where the client may let you work from home --- but it is very very difficult to do accounting remote and most businesses want their accountants to come into the office - even if just for a few days a week ---- I ought to know being a CPA and a CFO for over 25 years |

You could work up a fee per hour based upon various factors. For example, depending upon the nature of work you could possibly charge $25/hr. If the business is more difficult, $30/hr, etc. You at least want to break even (on paper) with the cost of a home-based business. If you were to show losses each year, the IRS will be contacting you. |

Figure out what a general admin employee is paid in your area, then double the hourly rate (which is about what an hourly employee w/ benefits costs a company. Then tack on a few bucks. The applied cost of subbing work out to your will still be lower to the employer. Another approach.. call a temp agency and ask them what they would charge you for an adminstrative temp. This will tell you the going rate in your area. Another thought... you're in Houston -- think Medical! |

Check with an employment office for a list of wages.Another option is to call an accountant and see what their hourly rate is. |

Find out opportunity cost (i.e. how much could you earn by using same level of intellect for same time) and than apply a % as a premium to go for the job. |

Check with your local college. most of the time they have some short courses you can take. I have my own business but have been doing it since i was in Jr High helping my grandmother run her business now she has passed away and now i am taking over. Advertising is also very important!
