Looking for work at home bookkeeping jobs? In this post, we give you six options and a little information on what this is and how to learn more about it.
Recent growth in the popularity of telecommuting has led to sweeping changes to the way we do business all around the globe. Consequently, a number of important professions which have traditionally been available only for on-site employment have gradually opened up to remote workers, and one of those professions is accounting.
Some of the remote accounting jobs you’ll find tend to pay a little lower than on-site counterparts, and many of them are only part time. But if you have a background in accounting and a need for more schedule flexibility, or if you’re looking for an extra source of income in addition to your in-person day-job, there are significantly more options available now than you would’ve found a few years ago.
The list below includes all the companies I am familiar with that specifically hire specialists for work at home bookkeeping and accounting. Please note that not all of these companies are hiring right now and that most do require some experience and/or a degree.

Many companies are beginning to offer flexible jobs for accountants, where you can choose from day to day whether you’d prefer to work from home or go into the office. Jobs of this type are a little beyond the scope of this particular list, but they might be well worth investigating depending on where you live and your particular needs.
Want To Go Into Business For Yourself Instead?
Some bookkeepers earn as much as $80+ hourly going into business for themselves. You do not need a degree to be a bookkeeper. One of the best e-courses out there for bookkeeping training is Bookkeeper Launch.
The intro course is free and will help you decide if this career path is right for you before you take the jump and pay for the full training.
Good luck!
