Your 30-Day Action Plan
Contact 10 CA firms and accounting firms in NCR (listed in classifieds) to understand: (a) what accounting tasks they outsource, (b) skill gaps in junior staff, (c) willingness to hire trained candidates. Document pain points.
Reach out to 20 small business owners in Gurugram/Dwarka/Sangam Vihar with survey: do they use accounting software? What's their monthly spend? Would they pay ₹3,000-5,000/month for bookkeeping help? Aim for 10 verbal commitments.
Secure a 600-800 sq ft office space in commercial area (Dwarka/Sector 23 mentioned in classifieds). Check for GST registration requirements. Set up 3-4 computer workstations with QuickBooks demo accounts.
Create 4-week QuickBooks + basic accounting curriculum. Launch first batch with 15 trainees (friends, referrals, local ads). Parallel: onboard 3-5 small businesses for pilot outsourced bookkeeping at discounted rates (₹2,000/month) to prove model.
Compliance & Regulatory Angle
GST registration required (service business — 5% GST). No specific license needed. QuickBooks software license purchase (₹25,000-40,000/year). If offering CA-level audit advice, must partner with actual CA (not illegal, but advisory only). Home-based start allowed but commercial address builds credibility for B2B clients.
