Just signed up with your link. Your review was very helpful, really appreciate your preview of the content and the heads up on the discounts. Will check back and share how it goes!
I’m in this program. I purchased in 2022 and Bill is amazing! So many have become successful as well! We have weekly calls. Bill saves them for those who missed them. A fb group and help when we need. And that cost for the mentorship & support, is for life!
Bookkeeping is something that directly affects the customer positively or negatively. My question is one that many people fail to foresee until that dreadful moment and that is accountability. How do we fix or deal with these issues should they arise and they will? So knowing how to deal with a customer so that you end up pleasing them and not paying for it. These things can go to court and are just as important as learning Quickbooks or data entry.
Morgan, I just wanted to let you know I finally got my first client. It's a local preschool and I am converting their QB Desktop Pro to QBO and then I'll do setup and training with the owner. Then I was contacted by a local non-profit to do their credit card entries into QB enterprise. You have inspired me greatly in my endeavors starting with my ProAdvisor certification and starting my LLC to onboarding clients and deciding my monthly/hourly rates. Thank you! I appreciate you.😊
I've been working on new ways to approach potential clients.... How does this sound Excuse me sir, I know you just opened your new business, but would you happen to want to hire me for $155,000.00 per year? Bill taught me all the secrets!
I started Booming Bookkeeping about a month ago. I am really loving it! I seriously like the way Bill explains everything and all the marketing knowledge he shares. I actually found your channel as a recommendation after watching one of Bill's live videos on UA-cam and I love your content! Thank you for all the info you share ♡
I just completed the course. It’s no longer free, but reasonable ($45). There’s a 2nd layer - a Q&A session. It’s $47 (?) to listen and $179 (this may not be right - but it’s close). I opted to listen to the Q&A only and I’m glad I did. Many people had exactly the same questions and hadn’t listened in class OR the other times it had been asked. The class had good information BUT many of the early promises would only be delivered if you signed up for the mentorship program. It’s now $5999 or $7499 if you want to break it up into two easy payments. Too rich for me! Was the class worthwhile? Definitely! He sends you a free copy of his book, but I had downloaded the Kindle version for free.
Hi, thank you. I just found out about the $47 week long class (approximately 8hours long?) plus a few extras. He says “everything you need for your book keeping business”. I assume you did the same course that I am seeing. Do you feel you can have a bookkeeping business as a result of this course, or that technically, with the q&a, that it could happen, perhaps with continued review of your materials, without the added 6k or 7k addition?
@@KatJaguar1122 That’s what I’m doing. It’s probably faster/easier if you pay for the mentorship but it just wasn’t possible for me. I’m studying for the QBO certification exams because it seems to be the cheapest/easiest marketing plan (I’m a major introvert).
@@kathybierman9545 excellent. Okay. I see the QBO certification is free. So in saying that that seems to be the cheapest/easiest marketing plan, you mean that you would present that certification to potential clients as your marketing? Also, what I’m seeing is that the 5 day course is next week, however I am wondering how often he does these as next week is not the best time frame for me. Do you know how often these run? Thank you in advance for your help.
@@kathybierman9545 thanks! So by saying you are doing the QBO certification for marketing, you mean that you will present your certification to potential clients? Some say it takes 2 to 3 months to learn bookkeeping for business with QBO. Are you finding that to be the case? I see this kind lady doing this channel has info on a DIY method of learning, as well as a short course.
Your review was the tipping point for me to go ahead and register for the course. It is a huge investment just starting out, but I figured why not do this business start-up the right way? After making it through several sections, I can already tell that it was money well-invested and I will absolutely have a return on my investment in BBB. Between their lifetime advising and resources, and your support through your courses and videos, I am gaining confidence in being able to service my future clients to their and my benefit. Thank you!
Saw an ad for it, had a selling hook for $47. Knew it was too good to be true. Was most likely a portion of the product to reel you into buying "more" for thousands of dollars
@@KoiandDragon@TriggB44 I took the $47 course and was actually very pleased with it. It’s all very introductory, but he does get to you a place of understanding the very basics of starting a bookkeeping business and what it takes to be a bookkeeper. I had zero knowledge before and now I know the basics. The $5997 program is about getting you to mastering Quickbooks and mastering starting and growing your bookkeeping business and mastering obtaining clients.
@@KoiandDragon I'm doing the $47 week challenge and I read the book before it started, he's basicly spreading what was in the book over 4 days. We'll see if tomorrow anything of value is actually discussed.
Take Bookkeeper Launch instead, it’s less than half the price. I did the week long Booming Bookkeeping Challenge for the $47 plus $47 for VIP and that was great, but I was bummed out that the full session was $4997 if paid in 1 lump sum, or $5991 paid in 3 installments of $1997, with a $997 deposit. No smaller payment options, which just seems weird. They say “if you want to do it you will find a way.” I guess… but coming up with an extra $2k a month is not as easy as the $249 for Bookkeeper Launch, which seems way more in line with the pricing of someone just trying to start out. Just my honest opinion!
Yow! After seeing the ads for that Challenge, I thought I'd give it a try, after finding out more. Maybe bookkeeping is an easier way to earn income than the futile jobhunting effort I've been trying? But ouch, with only enough income (for now) to cover the rent and car and basic bills, no way could I afford 200 $/month never mind three installments of 2000 (per month? per quarter?) No way!
How do feel about the program today? Just finished the 5 day challenge he's doing and now have the price for ongoing mentorship. It's pretty steep so I just wanted to be sure I explore every option to becoming a bookkeeper before taking the plunge. If you have any updated feedback you can provide, it would be greatly appreciated🙏🏽
Ok thank you for this video. This is well needed on my research because I'm interested I'm currently in the life insurance industry and would like to add this to my belt.
@@FinePointsBookkeeping No haven't signed up for anything yet, thought that there might be a new video soon with more research on which training platforms are best --wanted to see that first before deciding on booming bookkeeper vs. bookkeeper launch or something else : )
I recently did the keyboard challenge with Bill Von Fumetti. It was great. I am curious, since your review was done a couple of years ago, if when you did it, did the course guarantee that they would help their clients pass the QB ProAdvisor Certification? It is part of the sales pitch to Booming Bookkeeping, now. That and the legal contracts that are being offered are part of what it a perch for me. The price has increased considerably since your review, so I am trying to justify the value.
Yes, this review is not up-to-date with the current Booming Bookkeeping course offered by Bill. He made many changes after this video was published and Morgan is not sure of everything he is offering now. Morgan does, however, still recommend his course for someone wanting to start a bookkeeping business. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I have taken the BBB course. Bill is Great! The course handles all the aspects of setting up and running a bookkeeping business. The Wednesday calls are great, and he stores the calls for people who missed the call. The marketing section is great.
I would like to hire you right now at 76$/hour to run my sons paper route books. Problem is, he only makes 30$/week so we're going to have to ask you to take a salary cut today down to 24 cents/hour.
@@ApartmentKing66 no, but this concept is absurd. It's for people who have money to throw away, or the poor souls who actually think there is a career out there after reading a book. It aint happening
@@CAPRICORN-ZERO OK, what do you do for a living? How long have you been doing it? How good are you at it? Do you make $100k/month at it? Serious questions. If you're going to sit there at your keyboard and aggressively make fun of people who are taking responsibility for their lives by trying to improve their lot in life, whatever the method, give them a better alternative. Offer to mentor them, or put them in touch with someone who can.
@@ApartmentKing66 So you're asking me to give my secrets to a career for free? Not likely, but I will offer a course on careers just like this baloney, but my course on careers will actually teach a better approach to today's job market and my course is only $500. So there.
Great video and insight, thank you. I don't understand when quickbook is advertising how easy it is to do bookkeeping as a small busines owner yourself, why having than a book keeper?
@@FinePointsBookkeeping following. I’d definitely would like to know what the current price is too. I booked a call, waiting on a call back before moving forward. Any information you find out and share is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
My only question I guess is if there are people who do this that aren't already wealthy and/or UA-camrs before beginning lol. Also, PennFoster, an online college, has bookkeeping courses for less than $900. Also at your own pace, and with a free year of QuickBooks access upon completion.
Yeah, but who want's the security of a college degree, when you can be a computer trained embezzlement crum bum expert, with no actual businesses to work for. Imagine the free time you'll have by NOT working 40/hours a week?
I've been working on new ways to approach potential clients.... How does this sound Excuse me sir, I know you just opened your new business, but would you happen to want to hire me for $155,000.00 per year? Bill taught me all the secrets!
Is the $47 course worth taking. Is it enough to start a bookkeeping business without spending $4997. According to the advertisement if you take the Challenge he’s offering, it’s enough to start.

I looked into booming bookkeeping for a while and considering it. I live in CA close to his practice. Only reason that I didn’t take the course is he put address that he doesn’t use for marketing. I’m not sure if he still have practice there or not but to me, it looks like nobody’s there in the office. So I decide not to take his. Thanks for the review. You’re amazing!
Hey! Morgan personally LOVES Bookkeeper Launch (sk293.isrefer.com/go/BLFAQ/ML82/) and really hasn't heard of anyone who has been disappointed by the program. They have amazing customer service, they start at the very beginning (for someone who has no experience) and they give you lots of help along the way (group to ask questions, email helpline, calls). The program is quite thorough, so Morgan says make sure you have time to go through all the material. Let us know if you have any questions about the program. I'll link some videos Morgan made about it below, in case you haven't seen them: Bookkeeper Launch Review (ua-cam.com/video/dUrjJy1ersw/v-deo.html) 10 Ways to Learn Bookkeeping (ua-cam.com/video/5W1m-0R6H_k/v-deo.html) Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Looks like a solid course and I honestly figured it would be priced at $2,997. I was wanted to start a business that I could run with my son or bring on someone else to outsource some of the day-to-day work. I’d mostly run marketing and close clients. Is there info like this in the course or anyone in the program doing this?
What a great option! This can easily be done, and customer support is really helpful if something isn't addressed in the course :) -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
@@FinePointsBookkeeping I'm currently in Day 3 of the "Keyboard Rich Challenge" - the 5 day 1.5 hrs each day "thing". He says COUNTLESS times that this series of Zoom calls are "all you need to start your bookkeeping business"!!! He made about $20K working 13.5 hours just having these Zoom & VIP calls after the main Zoom call. He never calls it training, but it feels like it is and he leads everyone to believe that this is all you need. I'd put $2K on a credit card to attend his $6,000 mentoring echelon of ALREADY RICH people. This is SOOOO DISAPPOINTING TO ME. He lured me and all these people and got their hopes up, but it was just a TEASER, a LURE, a BAIT & SWITCH. Most of these people are attending because they are desperate and hopeful to make more money than they ever have in less time and MOST do not have the means to pay $6K for this AND HE KNOWS THAT. IT'S SLAPPING PEOPLE IN THE FACE AND LAUGHING. Why bait and switch? He should just tell people up front that it's $6K for the "real" training or if you want to make over $xx,xxxx, be prepared to have to pay for the $6K mentoring training. Jeeeezzzzzz. So many people on this planet are greedy liars.
Hey! Both Bookkeeper Launch and Booming Bookkeeping are high quality programs that will successfully train you to be a bookkeeper (if you do as they teach).

Dumb question but when it comes taxes for a freelance web designer and just taxes in general, whenever they're due, it means the taxes for the previous year right? So the income I earn this year I'd pay taxes for them in 2023? Also I'm 21, just started working for myself, my parents always handled my taxes since I worked normal jobs back then

I hope this helps you decide which course is best for you! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hi Morgan, thank you for the video. Does this go over the basics of how to become a bookkeeper? I'm more concerned with the basics and the accounting part as well. Thank you,
Hey! Yes, this course will start at the beginning for someone with no experience. Morgan thinks it could be a great option for you to learn bookkeeping and accounting principles. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hello Morgan, Would course be good for person with an accounting degree. Who just need to know how to set up the back office operation? Maybe the marketing plan? It sound like your going to school all over again.
Hmm, I would say yes, depending on what your needs are. I find people with book knowledge sometimes still need the practical advice for being a contract bookkeeper/accountant. Check out the "table of contents" that I showed in the video to see if those things interest you. I also have a decision tree chart that talks about doing a more diy approach if you don't want to take a big course: Chart: where to start bookkeeping? finepoints.newzenler.com/f/decision-tree-chart You can absolutely do it without a long class (I did!). Let me know what you decide!
Dwayne - I have a BS in Accounting but wanted to branch out and open my own bookkeeping business. I researched several programs and decided to go with Booming Bookkeeping. The course is designed to teach people with no knowledge of bookkeeping/accounting to be competent in everyday bookkeeping entries. Once you start the course, you can pick and choose which modules you want to watch. I was mostly interested in the pricing calculator and marketing information but watched all the modules over time to see if I missed anything that could be useful. I started in June of this year and currently have three clients using his techniques. I have also recently made a connection with an Accountant that needs help and wants to subcontract 20 - 30 clients to me. I am starting that soon. Overall, I am happy with the program.
Would love to hear more about subcontracting clients from an accountant. I would love to build my own business in bookkeeping and have already a tremendous accounting knowledge.
Hey Morgan I took the Booming Bookkeeping Business course It was great, they have a really good support team to help with all your questions through Facebook , email , and once a week live Q&A zoom meetings I would highly recommend the course !
Well, thanks for the heads up. Now let's make sure I don't see you on my turf, stealing my clients who own lemonade stands in the neighborhood. Capiche'?
Hello Morgan and THANK YOU for doing this! Is it possible for me to ask Bill a few short Q's before I take the plunge? One of them has to do with support if he's no longer around ( fyi: I sell life insurance/disability and shi..., I mean stuff, happens!)
Hi Kal! Morgan does not work directly with Bill. You will want to reach out to Booming Bookkeeping Business to see if he is available. Krista (FinePoints Admin)
That gets you into the "5-Day Challenge," in which you're given a birdseye overview of what it's like to be a bookkeeper and do the tasks a bookkeeper does. The training is actually pretty slight. To get into the Mentorship Program, Bill just made it a lot easier to get in. If you can afford the $5k price tag, you pay nothing more. But if not, there's another way to join the Mentorship Program: if you took the 5-Day Challenge for $47, then you only pay a monthly fee of $200. The caveat is that if you miss a membership (subscription) payment or cancel, then you have to pay a set-up fee of $2,500 to rejoin the program.
I was never given the option to make monthly payments. I had to pay a lump sum which I honestly regret since right after I made the commitment my husband and I both lost our jobs. I wish I would have been offered a monthly payment.
I'm sorry you were not given that option and we are also sorry to hear that you lost your job. Hopefully things start looking better soon! Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I'm so sorry that happened to you. Maybe this is a sign for you to focus on your bookkeeping business. Make your investment work through the storm. Turn your negative into a positive. I pray it will work out for you. In 2009 I was laid off from a great job. I was unemployed for 2 years. So much had happened during that time. I got a divorce, my father died and I became a single parent. I bought a cleaning franchise and I was in business for 10 and a half years. Now, I want to start my income tax business along with bookkeeping. I was a bookkeeper for 12 years. This guy who's doing this course learned on his own. Yes, you have already invested. Make it work for you. Please do not give up. You can learn also. If you're a praying person,please pray for direction and energy to push forward.

Hey! If you are wanting to learn bookkeeping for your own small business, Morgan recommends Bookkeeper Launch. (sk293.isrefer.com/go/BLFAQ/ML82/) Bookkeeper Launch is VERY thorough and starts at the beginning to teach you all about bookkeeping, debits/credits, accounting rules, etc. They give you a QBO subscription to practice on & hands-on experience. They have a very active, helpful community--along with email support for when you run into issues. It will go over how to start a bookkeeping business, but you can just skip that part.

Hey , i am from india , can I start bookkeeping business. I am not from accounting background but does have a little bit knowledge about debits and credits.

Hi! Thanks for watching my videos, glad you find them helpful. You can use QBO in India, but the QBO ProAdvisor certification is only available in 6 (I think) countries. I'm not 100% sure which countries are on the list, but that could likely be the issue when you're trying to sign up. You can check out my list for other options that may be a good fit: finepoints.newzenler.com/f/certification-chart-freebie

@@FinePointsBookkeeping Hi Morgan, I have been back and forth with one of Bill's sales reps and she has firmly told me that they no longer have the $2000 course without support. The only course available is the $6000 course. I would love to take the $2000 course with just the videos. I did just msg this woman back asking about this cheaper option. Waiting for a response.
I WACTHED YOUR VIDEO WHICH WAS VERY INFORMATIVE ,YOU STATED THAT IT'S COST IS $197 PER MONTH AND IT IS FOR 12 MONTHS, ORTHER SIDE YOU ARE SAYING THAT IT IS 3 MONTHS S' TRAINING ,WHAT IS THIS
I think I get what you’re asking. The payment plan breaks up the payments over twelve months, but the actual time it takes to complete the program is only a few months.
Buyer beware! I have in my life time have taken courses not in accounting but in real estate and had gotten a RE lic, appraisals and so on, you really have put your self forward and spend a great deal of money just to get started, remember you are taking a correspondence course not CPA and I would believe any business would ratter have a CPA working for them.

I am military and supposed to deploy in a year for about 8 months. Do you think its worth starting now while i have a full year or do you think i wont be able to maintain this business while deployed? Btw while deployed i will only have access to the app once a month.
Please elaborate because I bet you're just in his "teaser" class. I bet you're just taking the $47-$147 course like me. It's a bait and switch "teaser" to get you all excited and then you'll learn at the end that (heck, you might be in my class right now. My 5 day class is Oct 21-25, 2024.) I'm glad I found this video, because according to KathyBieerman9545 (directly below) and I agree with her, the class had good information BUT many of the early promises would only be delivered if you signed up for the mentorship program. It’s now $5999 or $7499 if you want to break it up into two easy payments.😠😠😠😠
I read the book, but haven't looked at the free videos Mr. Von Fumetti provides. I expected that in the long run he would have a charge for some training, but just about choked at the $6,000 price tag. What you're saying in this video is not what he leads you to believe in his book...
Not sure if this an honest ad from Bill. for $47 dollars, normally $1997. He is advertising a 5 day class. Could you learn bookkeeping in 5 days only 90 minutes per day? Or is this a paid ad to take his more expensive course? Quote "The 5-Day Keyboard Rich Bookkeeping Challenge" "How Anyone Can Earn 6 Figures from Home with a Simple Bookkeeping Business (While Working Less Than Your 9-5)" ... Q&A "I don't know anything about bookkeeping. Can I still be successful? Absolutely! Most of the people who join the Keyboard Rich Challenge have no prior bookkeeping knowledge. We'll teach you what you need to know to be successful."
I wil be honest. The people who probably need to learn a new skill that pays decently the most, are those who already are struggling. And cannot afford to go to college. And these people are the ones who may be priced out. The ones who can afford it will be fine. Im sorry though, that some people won't be able to. They will need to find another way. Unless someone can come up with that money. I will say he isn't a scam, he does respond to people. It's just really expensive.
All bookeeper jobs I see on places like INDEED, require CPA certification, and /or other certifications. So, on top of this class, you will need to prep and pay for the certification tests. Certifications need to be updated and redone every year or two. These courses sound scammy.
Cmon, why would anybody hire some shlub who bought an internet calculator program and allow them access to the business balance sheets and financial records. There ain't no way these people are getting hired on to any legit business. Sorry, not happening. You're better off taking your 5 grand and buying a small cleaning/housekeeping franchise. Business owners will surely hire you to clean their commode, but not so much to screw around with their money. All of these businesses have been operating just fine for the past several decades by keeping their own books, why on earth would they pay some crum bum 80$/hour to keep track of their books that are already being done by the owner.

Just signed up with your link. Your review was very helpful, really appreciate your preview of the content and the heads up on the discounts. Will check back and share how it goes!
That’s a great chart, very helpful.
All it takes me to is the free 40 minute training video. Is there any link to the actual course?
I’m in this program. I purchased in 2022 and Bill is amazing! So many have become successful as well! We have weekly calls. Bill saves them for those who missed them. A fb group and help when we need. And that cost for the mentorship & support, is for life!
@@angeladavenport9470 How did it go?
Bookkeeping is something that directly affects the customer positively or negatively. My question is one that many people fail to foresee until that dreadful moment and that is accountability. How do we fix or deal with these issues should they arise and they will? So knowing how to deal with a customer so that you end up pleasing them and not paying for it. These things can go to court and are just as important as learning Quickbooks or data entry.
Morgan, I just wanted to let you know I finally got my first client. It's a local preschool and I am converting their QB Desktop Pro to QBO and then I'll do setup and training with the owner. Then I was contacted by a local non-profit to do their credit card entries into QB enterprise. You have inspired me greatly in my endeavors starting with my ProAdvisor certification and starting my LLC to onboarding clients and deciding my monthly/hourly rates. Thank you! I appreciate you.😊
Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations! -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
I've been working on new ways to approach potential clients.... How does this sound
Excuse me sir, I know you just opened your new business, but would you happen to want to hire me for $155,000.00 per year? Bill taught me all the secrets!
I started Booming Bookkeeping about a month ago. I am really loving it! I seriously like the way Bill explains everything and all the marketing knowledge he shares. I actually found your channel as a recommendation after watching one of Bill's live videos on UA-cam and I love your content! Thank you for all the info you share ♡
Oh that's great! Thanks for sharing :) -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Really happy to be working with you and thanks for the kind words!
what about the marketing and sales aspect of this , How do you feelabout that
have you been able to find any clients now, a year later?
How are you doing with bookkeeping now?
I just completed the course. It’s no longer free, but reasonable ($45). There’s a 2nd layer - a Q&A session. It’s $47 (?) to listen and $179 (this may not be right - but it’s close).
I opted to listen to the Q&A only and I’m glad I did. Many people had exactly the same questions and hadn’t listened in class OR the other times it had been asked.
The class had good information BUT many of the early promises would only be delivered if you signed up for the mentorship program. It’s now $5999 or $7499 if you want to break it up into two easy payments.
Too rich for me!
Was the class worthwhile? Definitely! He sends you a free copy of his book, but I had downloaded the Kindle version for free.
Hi, thank you. I just found out about the $47 week long class (approximately 8hours long?) plus a few extras. He says “everything you need for your book keeping business”. I assume you did the same course that I am seeing. Do you feel you can have a bookkeeping business as a result of this course, or that technically, with the q&a, that it could happen, perhaps with continued review of your materials, without the added 6k or 7k addition?
@@KatJaguar1122 That’s what I’m doing. It’s probably faster/easier if you pay for the mentorship but it just wasn’t possible for me.
I’m studying for the QBO certification exams because it seems to be the cheapest/easiest marketing plan (I’m a major introvert).
@@kathybierman9545 excellent.
Okay. I see the QBO certification is free. So in saying that that seems to be the cheapest/easiest marketing plan, you mean that you would present that certification to potential clients as your marketing?
Also, what I’m seeing is that the 5 day course is next week, however I am wondering how often he does these as next week is not the best time frame for me. Do you know how often these run?
Thank you in advance for your help.
@@kathybierman9545 thanks!
So by saying you are doing the QBO certification for marketing, you mean that you will present your certification to potential clients?
Some say it takes 2 to 3 months to learn bookkeeping for business with QBO. Are you finding that to be the case? I see this kind lady doing this channel has info on a DIY method of learning, as well as a short course.
@@KatJaguar1122did you finish his week long course? I’m considering taking it.
I am so happy I found your channel. Your energy, and the way you explain things. I can't wait to start my bookkeeping business. Thank you so much!
So glad it's been helpful for you! -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Your review was the tipping point for me to go ahead and register for the course. It is a huge investment just starting out, but I figured why not do this business start-up the right way? After making it through several sections, I can already tell that it was money well-invested and I will absolutely have a return on my investment in BBB. Between their lifetime advising and resources, and your support through your courses and videos, I am gaining confidence in being able to service my future clients to their and my benefit. Thank you!
So happy to have you!
How well has it worked out in the past 8 months? Any update?
have you been able to find any clients now, a year later?
I too wonder how it's going.
How's it going for your business now?
The cost of the program today is $4997, so this is a massive price increase from merely a year ago when you quote $2000.
Today it's $5,997
Saw an ad for it, had a selling hook for $47. Knew it was too good to be true. Was most likely a portion of the product to reel you into buying "more" for thousands of dollars
@@KoiandDragon@TriggB44 I took the $47 course and was actually very pleased with it. It’s all very introductory, but he does get to you a place of understanding the very basics of starting a bookkeeping business and what it takes to be a bookkeeper. I had zero knowledge before and now I know the basics. The $5997 program is about getting you to mastering Quickbooks and mastering starting and growing your bookkeeping business and mastering obtaining clients.
@@KoiandDragon I'm doing the $47 week challenge and I read the book before it started, he's basicly spreading what was in the book over 4 days. We'll see if tomorrow anything of value is actually discussed.
@@denisebrown1696well? Did the $47 course get any better? Anything more than what the book had in it?
Take Bookkeeper Launch instead, it’s less than half the price. I did the week long Booming Bookkeeping Challenge for the $47 plus $47 for VIP and that was great, but I was bummed out that the full session was $4997 if paid in 1 lump sum, or $5991 paid in 3 installments of $1997, with a $997 deposit. No smaller payment options, which just seems weird. They say “if you want to do it you will find a way.” I guess… but coming up with an extra $2k a month is not as easy as the $249 for Bookkeeper Launch, which seems way more in line with the pricing of someone just trying to start out. Just my honest opinion!
Morgan LOVES Bookkeeper Launch!
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I totally agree and I especially like the fact that the guy from bookeeper launch offers a 30-day money back guarantee.
Yow! After seeing the ads for that Challenge, I thought I'd give it a try, after finding out more. Maybe bookkeeping is an easier way to earn income than the futile jobhunting effort I've been trying? But ouch, with only enough income (for now) to cover the rent and car and basic bills, no way could I afford 200 $/month never mind three installments of 2000 (per month? per quarter?) No way!
How do feel about the program today? Just finished the 5 day challenge he's doing and now have the price for ongoing mentorship. It's pretty steep so I just wanted to be sure I explore every option to becoming a bookkeeper before taking the plunge. If you have any updated feedback you can provide, it would be greatly appreciated🙏🏽
Ok thank you for this video. This is well needed on my research because I'm interested I'm currently in the life insurance industry and would like to add this to my belt.
Excited to see your new upcoming video about the best training!
Did you take Booming Bookkeeper? -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
@@FinePointsBookkeeping No haven't signed up for anything yet, thought that there might be a new video soon with more research on which training platforms are best --wanted to see that first before deciding on booming bookkeeper vs. bookkeeper launch or something else : )
Not as excited as Bill is.
How many total hours of training is there?
I recently did the keyboard challenge with Bill Von Fumetti. It was great. I am curious, since your review was done a couple of years ago, if when you did it, did the course guarantee that they would help their clients pass the QB ProAdvisor Certification? It is part of the sales pitch to Booming Bookkeeping, now. That and the legal contracts that are being offered are part of what it a perch for me. The price has increased considerably since your review, so I am trying to justify the value.
Yes, this review is not up-to-date with the current Booming Bookkeeping course offered by Bill. He made many changes after this video was published and Morgan is not sure of everything he is offering now. Morgan does, however, still recommend his course for someone wanting to start a bookkeeping business.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I have taken the BBB course. Bill is Great! The course handles all the aspects of setting up and running a bookkeeping business. The Wednesday calls are great, and he stores the calls for people who missed the call. The marketing section is great.
I would like to hire you right now at 76$/hour to run my sons paper route books. Problem is, he only makes 30$/week so we're going to have to ask you to take a salary cut today down to 24 cents/hour.
@@CAPRICORN-ZERO Nothing better to do with your time?
@@ApartmentKing66 no, but this concept is absurd. It's for people who have money to throw away, or the poor souls who actually think there is a career out there after reading a book. It aint happening
@@CAPRICORN-ZERO OK, what do you do for a living? How long have you been doing it? How good are you at it? Do you make $100k/month at it? Serious questions. If you're going to sit there at your keyboard and aggressively make fun of people who are taking responsibility for their lives by trying to improve their lot in life, whatever the method, give them a better alternative. Offer to mentor them, or put them in touch with someone who can.
@@ApartmentKing66 So you're asking me to give my secrets to a career for free? Not likely, but I will offer a course on careers just like this baloney, but my course on careers will actually teach a better approach to today's job market and my course is only $500. So there.
Great video and insight, thank you. I don't understand when quickbook is advertising how easy it is to do bookkeeping as a small busines owner yourself, why having than a book keeper?
Thank you so much for this! Booming Bookkeeping Business just tripled it's fee, it now costs $6,000 and no payment plan 🤨🤔
Yikes! I heard this also. :/ I emailed the owner to see what new content they are offering
@@FinePointsBookkeeping following. I’d definitely would like to know what the current price is too. I booked a call, waiting on a call back before moving forward. Any information you find out and share is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I just met with them and it is $6,000.
@@tylerfackrell OUCH!! Thanks for the info much appreciated.
@@FinePointsBookkeeping Have you heard back on why fee raised to $6k?
My only question I guess is if there are people who do this that aren't already wealthy and/or UA-camrs before beginning lol. Also, PennFoster, an online college, has bookkeeping courses for less than $900. Also at your own pace, and with a free year of QuickBooks access upon completion.
Morgan took Bookkeeper Launch to train nearer her beginnings of bookkeeping before UA-cam and such :) -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Yeah, but who want's the security of a college degree, when you can be a computer trained embezzlement crum bum expert, with no actual businesses to work for. Imagine the free time you'll have by NOT working 40/hours a week?

Is the $47 course worth taking. Is it enough to start a bookkeeping business without spending $4997. According to the advertisement if you take the Challenge he’s offering, it’s enough to start.
It all depends on what you already know and how much assistance you need to start.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Thank you for this review! I’ve been considering to doing this course but wanted to hear a review.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Same here.
Does one need the quickbooks software to initially begin this five day challenge?
It comes with the program

I looked into booming bookkeeping for a while and considering it. I live in CA close to his practice. Only reason that I didn’t take the course is he put address that he doesn’t use for marketing. I’m not sure if he still have practice there or not but to me, it looks like nobody’s there in the office. So I decide not to take his. Thanks for the review. You’re amazing!
Hmm, interesting!
I've only got one address and I'm sitting in that office right now!
Several others, including myself would like to know your current address. Thankyou!
Based on the huge price increase, would anyone recommend Bookkeeper Launch as an alternative? Or is that price calculator worth the upcharge?
Hey! Morgan personally LOVES Bookkeeper Launch (sk293.isrefer.com/go/BLFAQ/ML82/) and really hasn't heard of anyone who has been disappointed by the program. They have amazing customer service, they start at the very beginning (for someone who has no experience) and they give you lots of help along the way (group to ask questions, email helpline, calls). The program is quite thorough, so Morgan says make sure you have time to go through all the material. Let us know if you have any questions about the program. I'll link some videos Morgan made about it below, in case you haven't seen them:

Looks like a solid course and I honestly figured it would be priced at $2,997. I was wanted to start a business that I could run with my son or bring on someone else to outsource some of the day-to-day work. I’d mostly run marketing and close clients. Is there info like this in the course or anyone in the program doing this?
What a great option! This can easily be done, and customer support is really helpful if something isn't addressed in the course :) -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
We can absolutely assist with this in my mentorship program!
Can do! Just send $4997.00 for each sucker that you want to hire. I mean, person.
@@FinePointsBookkeeping I'm currently in Day 3 of the "Keyboard Rich Challenge" - the 5 day 1.5 hrs each day "thing". He says COUNTLESS times that this series of Zoom calls are "all you need to start your bookkeeping business"!!! He made about $20K working 13.5 hours just having these Zoom & VIP calls after the main Zoom call. He never calls it training, but it feels like it is and he leads everyone to believe that this is all you need. I'd put $2K on a credit card to attend his $6,000 mentoring echelon of ALREADY RICH people. This is SOOOO DISAPPOINTING TO ME. He lured me and all these people and got their hopes up, but it was just a TEASER, a LURE, a BAIT & SWITCH. Most of these people are attending because they are desperate and hopeful to make more money than they ever have in less time and MOST do not have the means to pay $6K for this AND HE KNOWS THAT. IT'S SLAPPING PEOPLE IN THE FACE AND LAUGHING. Why bait and switch? He should just tell people up front that it's $6K for the "real" training or if you want to make over $xx,xxxx, be prepared to have to pay for the $6K mentoring training. Jeeeezzzzzz. So many people on this planet are greedy liars.
I'm not sure if I should go with Bookkeeper Launch or Booming Bookkeeping ??????
Hey!
Both Bookkeeper Launch and Booming Bookkeeping are high quality programs that will successfully train you to be a bookkeeper (if you do as they teach). They cover accounting concepts, QBO, marketing, setting up your business (license, website, etc), and have some kind of community where you can ask questions.
Bookkeeper Launch pros: This program is more robust, has a big network, better known, and a strength is individual email help. Morgan finds Ben to be more wordy (she doesn’t like) & detailed and she likes the visuals better in this program.
Sign up here: sk293.isrefer.com/go/BLIO/ML82/
Booming Bookkeeping pros: This program focuses on learning bookkeeping and marketing. There is also more personal interaction with Bill (pro/con). Morgan finds Bill to be more concise, but she doesn’t enjoy the visuals as much.

For both, you can take their free class and see which teaching style you like. Either class will prepare you to be a great bookkeeper!

Get em both sucker, I meant madam.
Dumb question but when it comes taxes for a freelance web designer and just taxes in general, whenever they're due, it means the taxes for the previous year right?
So the income I earn this year I'd pay taxes for them in 2023?
Also I'm 21, just started working for myself, my parents always handled my taxes since I worked normal jobs back then
Yes, correct, unless you are paying quarterly taxes, you'd pay those throughout the current year. -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Yeah, don't sweat it. To calculate your tax owed on 0$ earned comes to 0$
Is this true? My sister does bookkeeping and she said that no one uses Quickbooks.
😂 bizarre.
Many do use quikbook. Keep watching videos.
Shhhhh what are you trying to get us thrown out of this money cult?

Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Hi Morgan, thank you for the video. Does this go over the basics of how to become a bookkeeper? I'm more concerned with the basics and the accounting part as well.
Thank you,
Hey! Yes, this course will start at the beginning for someone with no experience. Morgan thinks it could be a great option for you to learn bookkeeping and accounting principles.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
I wasn't aware that dogs were signing up for the program. Well, good luck Mr. Woofles, you rascal you!
Hello Morgan,
Would course be good for person with an accounting degree. Who just need to know how to set up the back office operation? Maybe the marketing plan? It sound like your going to school all over again.
Hmm, I would say yes, depending on what your needs are. I find people with book knowledge sometimes still need the practical advice for being a contract bookkeeper/accountant. Check out the "table of contents" that I showed in the video to see if those things interest you. I also have a decision tree chart that talks about doing a more diy approach if you don't want to take a big course: Chart: where to start bookkeeping? finepoints.newzenler.com/f/decision-tree-chart
You can absolutely do it without a long class (I did!). Let me know what you decide!
Dwayne - I have a BS in Accounting but wanted to branch out and open my own bookkeeping business. I researched several programs and decided to go with Booming Bookkeeping. The course is designed to teach people with no knowledge of bookkeeping/accounting to be competent in everyday bookkeeping entries. Once you start the course, you can pick and choose which modules you want to watch. I was mostly interested in the pricing calculator and marketing information but watched all the modules over time to see if I missed anything that could be useful. I started in June of this year and currently have three clients using his techniques. I have also recently made a connection with an Accountant that needs help and wants to subcontract 20 - 30 clients to me. I am starting that soon. Overall, I am happy with the program.
Thanks for the info Doug!
@@dougburry2725 Great to be working with you and thanks for the kind words!

Hi Kal! Morgan does not work directly with Bill. You will want to reach out to Booming Bookkeeping Business to see if he is available.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
It's advertised for $47 What all do you get with it?
That gets you into the "5-Day Challenge," in which you're given a birdseye overview of what it's like to be a bookkeeper and do the tasks a bookkeeper does. The training is actually pretty slight. To get into the Mentorship Program, Bill just made it a lot easier to get in. If you can afford the $5k price tag, you pay nothing more. But if not, there's another way to join the Mentorship Program: if you took the 5-Day Challenge for $47, then you only pay a monthly fee of $200. The caveat is that if you miss a membership (subscription) payment or cancel, then you have to pay a set-up fee of $2,500 to rejoin the program.
@ApartmentKing66 Thanks. Why couldn't they just explain it like that?
You forgot to mention no everybody is approve for the program, do you know what are the requirements ?
Yes, anyone can join, no approval needed.

I was never given the option to make monthly payments. I had to pay a lump sum which I honestly regret since right after I made the commitment my husband and I both lost our jobs.
I wish I would have been offered a monthly payment.

In 2009 I was laid off from a great job. I was unemployed for 2 years. So much had happened during that time. I got a divorce, my father died and I became a single parent. I bought a cleaning franchise and I was in business for 10 and a half years. Now, I want to start my income tax business along with bookkeeping. I was a bookkeeper for 12 years. This guy who's doing this course learned on his own. Yes, you have already invested. Make it work for you. Please do not give up. You can learn also.

🤭 Oh for sure, most business owners love throwing away their $ to shlub computer nutjobs to embezzle their hard earned money. You'll make , let's see 76$x40 = $3040.00/week doing the book keeping for local kids paper routes in your community. These hard working paper jockeys will hire you in a snap!
I've been working on new ways to approach potential clients.... How does this sound
Excuse me sir, I know you just opened your new business, but would you happen to want to hire me for $155,000.00 per year? Bill taught me all the secrets!
The cost of the program today is only $47. I just signed up.
And, as you've learned by now, that was just the "intro". The Mentorship Program is 1 payment of $4997, or 3 of $1997.
That's only because you were the 1 billionth person to sign up. Lucky dog you!
What all did you get with that?
I was wondering if this was the real deal
Hi Scott! I hope Morgan's video answered your questions on Booming Bookkeeping. It's a great course to get you started with your own bookkeeping business!
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
pfft, what do u think?
Hi how much is the course? Thanks
It is around $1997, but he also offers a payment plan: boomingbookkeeping.com/summary48516553?affiliate_id=3902557 -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
Too much if you have to ask.
Solid advice 😱
I'm a QBDT tech support agent and have had many customers tell me I should start my own bookkeeping business or qb help business. I'm interested but not sure at this point, maybe I should?
You can always give it a try! Sounds like you have the knowledge to be able to jumpstart your business!
Krista (FinePoints Assisstant)
Sure, many Quarterbacks and Defensive Tackles have gone on to great careers.
I just want to learn bookkeeping for my own business. I currently hire out for it. And I think it would save me
Hey! If you are wanting to learn bookkeeping for your own small business, Morgan recommends Bookkeeper Launch. (sk293.isrefer.com/go/BLFAQ/ML82/)
Bookkeeper Launch is VERY thorough and starts at the beginning to teach you all about bookkeeping, debits/credits, accounting rules, etc. They give you a QBO subscription to practice on & hands-on experience. They have a very active, helpful community--along with email support for when you run into issues. It will go over how to start a bookkeeping business, but you can just skip that part.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
You don't need this expensive course to learn bookkeeping. Take it from a school or online learning platform. I'm a former bookkeeper
Well now you're adding to the Book keepers already extremely high unemployment rate by pulling those shenanigans.
Is this course for Canada or Usa?
It's based in the U.S. but would work well for Canadians also!
Neither, this is the Congo version which teaches you how to count and embezzle diamonds.
Hey , i am from india , can I start bookkeeping business. I am not from accounting background but does have a little bit knowledge about debits and credits. I recently came across ur channel, and ur videos helped me lot about getting started. I have a question, dose QuickBooks works in INDIA, I want get certified but I couldn't able to sign up cause it's asking a phone number of UK or USA to sign up.
Hi! Thanks for watching my videos, glad you find them helpful. You can use QBO in India, but the QBO ProAdvisor certification is only available in 6 (I think) countries. I'm not 100% sure which countries are on the list, but that could likely be the issue when you're trying to sign up. You can check out my list for other options that may be a good fit: finepoints.newzenler.com/f/certification-chart-freebie

Hi… parzival,

@@FinePointsBookkeeping I'm American and plan on moving abroad. Can I use quickbooks in any country with internet access
If you want support, I have been told the course is $6000. The 2k course does not come with support.
Hi Nicole! Yes, Booming Bookkeeping recently changed their course and pricing. Morgan is looking into all the details and will post a new video once she knows what all it entails.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
@@FinePointsBookkeeping And with $6,000 course. They are not offering payment plan, which is a drawback.
@@khurrammughal4785 I'm telling you, if you're gonna spend 6k, buy a cleaning franchise. They will place you with clients. Nobody is hiring book keepers. Just sayin
If his course was still at $2000 I could have managed that. 😢
I am contemplating on taking this course. So, is the entire course less than $2000? And how long does it take to complete the course?
Morgan recommends taking their free class to get an idea for what you'll be getting inside the course: www.boomingbookkeeping.com/register?affiliate_id=3902557 ~Gabe, FP admin
@@FinePointsBookkeeping Hi Morgan, I have been back and forth with one of Bill's sales reps and she has firmly told me that they no longer have the $2000 course without support. The only course available is the $6000 course. I would love to take the $2000 course with just the videos. I did just msg this woman back asking about this cheaper option. Waiting for a response.
@@tmagill1 can we connect?
@@tmagill1 so did you hear back about the pricing?
@@janebarla yes i did
I WACTHED YOUR VIDEO WHICH WAS VERY INFORMATIVE ,YOU STATED THAT IT'S COST IS $197 PER MONTH AND IT IS FOR 12 MONTHS, ORTHER SIDE YOU ARE SAYING THAT IT IS 3 MONTHS S' TRAINING ,WHAT IS THIS
Hi Parvez!
I'm sorry I do not understand your question. I wish I could help!
Krista (FinePoints Assistant)
I think I get what you’re asking. The payment plan breaks up the payments over twelve months, but the actual time it takes to complete the program is only a few months.
Buyer beware! I have in my life time have taken courses not in accounting but in real estate and had gotten a RE lic, appraisals and so on, you really have put your self forward and spend a great deal of money just to get started, remember you are taking a correspondence course not CPA and I would believe any business would ratter have a CPA working for them.
What kind of experience is needed to succeed in this business? This is someone coming from working in manufacturing.
Hey! It is possible to shift into a bookkeeping career without prior accounting experience, and you don't need any official certifications or training to be a bookkeeper!
Morgan created a great playlist for getting started in bookkeeping, which can help answer your questions on starting without experience and what you would need to do first: ua-cam.com/video/2tZOoXoZC_w/v-deo.html
Krista (FinePoints Assistant)
Did you find the estimated 76/hr a fair rate to expect to charge a customer?
I’d also like to know this.
For god sake, that's asking a bit much for somebody who hasn't even paid the $8699.00 Personal business start-up fee.
I am military and supposed to deploy in a year for about 8 months. Do you think its worth starting now while i have a full year or do you think i wont be able to maintain this business while deployed? Btw while deployed i will only have access to the app once a month.
Could you hire someone to help you while you're deployed, essentially maintain the bookkeeping for your clients? -Gabe (FinePoints Admin)
I'm taking this course now and am thrilled at the skills I'm learning.
We are happy to hear you are enjoying this course!
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
Please elaborate because I bet you're just in his "teaser" class. I bet you're just taking the $47-$147 course like me. It's a bait and switch "teaser" to get you all excited and then you'll learn at the end that (heck, you might be in my class right now. My 5 day class is Oct 21-25, 2024.) I'm glad I found this video, because according to KathyBieerman9545 (directly below) and I agree with her, the class had good information BUT many of the early promises would only be delivered if you signed up for the mentorship program. It’s now $5999 or $7499 if you want to break it up into two easy payments.😠😠😠😠
Hi New Subbie here can you please review the Stay at Home Bookkeeping I think it is by Tiff Higgin…and it’s just 6 dollars please review it
Yes, sure thing. Ok I have reviewed it.
I read the book, but haven't looked at the free videos Mr. Von Fumetti provides. I expected that in the long run he would have a charge for some training, but just about choked at the $6,000 price tag. What you're saying in this video is not what he leads you to believe in his book...
As of today he charges $5997 or three payments of $2497
Hey! Yes, Morgan is aware of the price increase. Booming Bookkeeping redid all of their courses a year ago.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
@@FinePointsBookkeeping I’m sure she does since she gets a referral commission! I posted so that other people would know.
Interesting
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any Qs.
Not sure if this an honest ad from Bill. for $47 dollars, normally $1997. He is advertising a 5 day class. Could you learn bookkeeping in 5 days only 90 minutes per day? Or is this a paid ad to take his more expensive course? Quote "The 5-Day Keyboard Rich Bookkeeping Challenge" "How Anyone Can Earn 6 Figures from Home with a Simple Bookkeeping Business (While Working Less Than Your 9-5)" ... Q&A "I don't know anything about bookkeeping. Can I still be successful? Absolutely! Most of the people who join the Keyboard Rich Challenge have no prior bookkeeping knowledge. We'll teach you what you need to know to be successful."
Hey! Morgan has not seen this ad. She recommends reaching out to Booming Bookkeeping directly to see if it is accurate.
Krista (FinePoints Admin)
It’s just for the challenge. The actual mentor program is one payment of $4997 or three payments of $1997. I just finished the challenge.
@catrenia72, did you enjoy the 5-day challenge? I start 12 August.
I wil be honest. The people who probably need to learn a new skill that pays decently the most, are those who already are struggling. And cannot afford to go to college. And these people are the ones who may be priced out. The ones who can afford it will be fine. Im sorry though, that some people won't be able to. They will need to find another way. Unless someone can come up with that money. I will say he isn't a scam, he does respond to people. It's just really expensive.
Try Clean Net and clean banks at night its a way better prospect than this baloney
All bookeeper jobs I see on places like INDEED, require CPA certification, and /or other certifications. So, on top of this class, you will need to prep and pay for the certification tests. Certifications need to be updated and redone every year or two. These courses sound scammy.
Cmon, why would anybody hire some shlub who bought an internet calculator program and allow them access to the business balance sheets and financial records. There ain't no way these people are getting hired on to any legit business. Sorry, not happening. You're better off taking your 5 grand and buying a small cleaning/housekeeping franchise. Business owners will surely hire you to clean their commode, but not so much to screw around with their money. All of these businesses have been operating just fine for the past several decades by keeping their own books, why on earth would they pay some crum bum 80$/hour to keep track of their books that are already being done by the owner.
And you're an expert on this how?? You're the one who is filled with baloney!
@@Xxxooooooo mmm! baloney!
Because none of these "new businesses" would want to hire somebody with an accounting degree.
Just imagine when all of your hard work pays off and little Susie Jo from down the street hires you to add up her daily lemonade sales
😢
Stop moving your hands so much.
Definitely not spending 5 grand after spending 30 plus for my bachelors degree, pass
