I joined BBB right after I was laid off from my job in March of 2025. I was down on my luck because I live in a very rural area with not a lot of opportunities. I took the week challenge not knowing what to expect but after I completed that, I knew this is what I wanted to do! I followed the modules step by step (many, many times I got into my own head wondering if this the right decision for me). I was sure that my biggest hurdle was going to be the marketing part, which turned out to be in my favor!! Here
Booming Bookkeeping is a has great business practices. I was not ultimately able to take the courses but Bill's team walking students through the process was very helpful and they worked with me with my unique scenario and I hope to take the course at a different time.
Bill seems to care about you being successful. Whether you make it or not is up to you. In my opinion the $4,999 is a little steep. Here is a disclaimer from their website. DISCLAIMER: Your level of success in attaining the results you desire depends on many factors, including (but not limited to) the time you devote to the strategies discussed, your background, experience, and work ethic. The average person who follows any "how to" information gets little to no results. All business entails risk and requir
I purchased Bill's program in 2020. Since then I have more business than I can handle. I recommend this program to anyone that wants a thriving bookkeeping business. Bill, along with his amazing team are always there to help with any question I may have. They also have weekly calls where I can ask questions and get help. The Facebook group is a great group for networking with other bookkeepers and finding out how they handle different scenarios that I have encountered. The team also monitors that as well. I
The Booming Bookkeeping Business was a great investment. The sales page is straight forward and Bill answered all my questions before I bought the program. The business model meet all of my criteria for starting my own business. Startup cost was minimal, did not need additional equipment (I already had a laptop, monitor and printer), was work from home, and can be portable because all I need is an Internet connection for my laptop. Bill literally had a video for everything I needed to setup my bookkeeping

They are outstanding and I recommend anyone looking for extra income to enroll in this course.
I signed up for this course and got my QBO certification in no time. I took time outside of my full time job to move through the videos that Bill provides and slowly gained the confidence to start putting myself out there to start my own bookkeeping business. The videos are very straight forward. Bill teaches the bookkeeping fundamentals, walks you through each step to setting up your social media platforms, and provides all the necessary marketing tools. In addition, the weekly coaching calls are great
I'm very happy that I found Bill Von Fumetti to guide me through the process of establishing my new bookkeeping business.

Bill is very knowledgeable and the information that he provides is crucial to have a successful bookkeeping business and obtain confidence to communicate properly with the clients. I like how he give examples of what to say and the detailed information regarding all the aspe
I heard of BBB through a person who took the course some years ago. I was just about to start a bookkeeping certification course at a local college. After looking at BBB I knew I had to enroll in it also. The course not only covers every aspect of bookkeeping fundamentals, it totally entails everything needed to start a bookkeeping business from scratch. The course has over 200 instructional videos that cover all aspects of bookkeeping (the college certification course had 12 videos from the instructor), se

I joined this program in March 2023 and I'm absolutely thrilled at all the course provides. It covers everything from getting your business started, how to be sure you take the time to become a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, and then there is the marketing portion. Talk about comprehensive! I've been working through the modules, daily, and have learned more than I could have ever learned on my own in such a short period of time. There is still so much more of the course I still need to go through but I wa
I started with this course 1 year ago in July 2022. In one year I have replaced and surpassed my fulltime job income, have my own health insurance, and have the freedom to design the life that I have always wanted, and no commuting! The support network on the Facebook group and the Support email team are absolutely essential to my success. I have not stopped learning and growing because of this support. Whenever I encounter something that I am not sure about, I know that I have back-up! The Support Tea
I joined this course in October 2022, eight months before this review. I waited to review because I wanted to be able to give a full picture of my experience, since it's such a big investment. To give a timeline: I got my QB Online certification in December 2022, my QB Payroll certification in January, my first client in March, and am now up to five clients with at least one more starting next month. I was taking the course alongside a full time job until April and am now focusing solely on my business tha

Bill Von Fumetti is always a pleasure to work with. He's passionate about teaching students, and his story is motivational. The Booming Bookkeeping Business Facebook group is a great place to stay engaged and ask questions. The number one thing that people write home about though is Bill?s mentorship and the fact that his course tells you exactly what you need to do, where you need to list yourself as a bookkeeper, and it takes out all the guesswork as long as you're willing to put the work in.

I did saw there is one star review. It said" buy my course you get rich" I laughed it off because the first time I found this program, I had that kind of feeling. Then I joined the facebook group and learned more about it and got a chance to talk to people. I am 90% sure it is not a scam. I joined the program and stuck for couple times. But every time I sent the questions to support email, they are always there to help. I did not dare start my business because I am afraid what if I am stuck and what shou

Look for a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) license, which ensures they’ve passed rigorous exams and meet state requirements. Check for relevant experience in your industry, additional certifications like CFA or CMA, and membership in professional organizations like the AICPA. Verify their credentials through state licensing boards.
Use online directories like the AICPA, CPAverify, or state CPA societies. Search platforms like Yelp or Google for local CPAs with reviews. Ask for referrals from business associates, friends, or financial advisors. Local chambers of commerce can also provide recommendations.
A CPA is a licensed professional who has passed the CPA exam and met state requirements for education and experience. An accountant may lack this certification and could have varying levels of expertise. For complex tasks like tax audits or financial reporting, a CPA is typically more qualified.
Ask about their experience with your specific financial needs, such as tax preparation, small business accounting, or estate planning. Review their website or LinkedIn for case studies or client testimonials. Inquire about their client base to ensure they handle similar financial situations.
Yes, reviews provide insight into a CPA’s reliability, communication, and performance. Check platforms like Google, Yelp, or the Better Business Bureau for client feedback. Look for patterns in reviews, but verify their authenticity, as some may be biased or outdated.
Visit your state’s Board of Accountancy website or use CPAverify.org to check a CPA’s license status. Confirm their license is active and check for any disciplinary actions or complaints. This ensures they’re in good standing and meet professional standards.
Ask about their experience with your financial needs, fee structure, availability, and communication style. Inquire how they handle tax filings, audits, or financial planning. Ask for references or examples of similar work to assess their expertise and fit.
Fees vary based on location, services, and complexity. Basic tax preparation may cost $150-$500, while business accounting or audits can range from $1,000 to $10,000+. Request a detailed fee structure upfront and compare quotes from multiple CPAs.
Yes, many CPAs offer remote services through secure online platforms for document sharing and virtual consultations. Ensure they use encrypted tools for data security. Remote CPAs can be effective if they understand your local tax laws or business regulations.
During consultations, evaluate their ability to explain complex financial concepts clearly. Ask sample questions about taxes or financial strategies and note their responsiveness and clarity. Good communication ensures you understand their advice and fosters a productive relationship.
Beware of CPAs who guarantee specific tax refunds, lack a valid license, or have disciplinary actions on record. Avoid those with poor communication, vague fee structures, or negative reviews highlighting unethical behavior. Always verify their credentials independently.
Large firms offer more resources and specialized teams but may charge higher fees. Solo practitioners often provide personalized service and lower costs but may have limited availability. Choose based on your needs, budget, and preference for personalized attention.
For individuals, annual meetings for tax preparation may suffice. Businesses may need quarterly or monthly check-ins for bookkeeping, tax planning, or financial reporting. Discuss your needs upfront to establish a meeting schedule that aligns with your financial goals.
Yes, many CPAs handle both, but confirm their expertise in both areas. Ask about their experience managing personal taxes and business accounting simultaneously. Ensure they can balance both without compromising attention to your specific financial needs.
Discuss concerns directly with your CPA to resolve issues. If unresolved, check your contract for termination terms. Seek a new CPA by researching reviews, credentials, and referrals. Request your financial records to ensure a smooth transition to a new professional.
