I need some advice. Working out of my home I have been running a part-time bookkeeping and tax practice for about two years. I have 11 month-to-month clients whom I provide full service including payroll and annual taxes and make around $30K/yr.

Recently, I lost my full time job as an Accounting Manager at a large national company. My goal is to double my practice this year and not have to look for a full time job. I received a fairly decent severance package that can keep me afloat for about a year.

Please let me know how best to market my services. I don't have a very high degree of confidence in mass mailings even if they are targeted. Someone suggested that I should obtain a list of newly formed businesses for the local county office. I think my by best bet would be to buy a small portion of an established practice.

Any advice from the pros in this forum will be invaluable. As always, I am grateful for your time and help.
