| Entrepreneurial
financial work for retirees
If you have mathematical
ability and proficiency with computers, you can become a
entrepreneurial retiree -- owning your own small business
where
you control how much work you do and still have free time for
yourself.
Small Business
Bookkeeper. Your background in
bookkeeping or accounting opens the door to this. All it
takes is a professional accounting program for the work, plus
business cards, some phone calls and attendance at your local
Chamber of Commerce meetings to meet potential new
clients. Obviously, you can do as much work or as little
as you choose--depending upon how many clients you decide to
take on.
| Tax
Preparer. This is
definitely seasonal work. Even if
you were not employed in accounting before you retired, the
big Tax Preparation companies will train you with the
classes they offer every year. Call the national
tax preparation companies, such as H&R Block, for
more details about their training. There is a fee
for their classes. |
A
Real Life Retirement:
Approaching retirement, Jim, an engineer in his sixties, took the
classes from a major tax preparation company and
worked for them part time during one tax season.
The next year he set up his own small tax
preparation business simply by word of mouth.
He didn't even bother to get business cards!
