Most accountants are working for businesses as the main accountant or some work for their own accounting firms and have dozens of small, medium and large clients to do work for. But if you're not the type of person who wants to put on a suit and tie to go crunch some numbers, you can work as an accountant from your couch or while on vacation. All you need is a laptop, accounting certification and a mobile phone.
Entrepreneurs and small business owners don't usually want to drive for an hour to go over everything there is to do with their book keeping. A lot of them would rather phone it in and go over everything fairly quick. If you can build trust with your clients then they may not even call you ever month lol.
Even if your clients don't call you weekly or monthly, you'll need to get in touch with them to let the know what you're doing and how everything is going. Your accounting clients will like that you're taking the initiative to contact them and go over everything about their books. Having a high quality support system in place and focusing on customer service is crucial when being a remote accountant for small, medium and large businesses.
A lot of newer companies in 2016+ want a quick conversation because they are on the go and don't have time to waste. If you can go over everything with them in 20 minutes or less, they will be extremely happy and stick with you. Well, as long as you don't screw anything up
