Tamarra Mitchell has been on her own in her Queensbury business for three years.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

By Jill Nagy<\/p>\n

As a freelance bookkeeper, Tamarra Mitchell packs up her laptop and drives her Ford Focus 50 to 100 miles a day to visit clients, mostly retailers, restaurants, and other small business, as well as doctors and contractors, a dog walker and, once, the owner of a hot air balloon business.<\/p>\n

In all, she said she sees about 100 clients on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis.
\nShe said she enjoys the independence of having her own business and the convenience of working out of her home office in Queensbury. She appreciates the minimal overhead of working out of a home office and the tax deduction for her home office’s share of household expenses.<\/p>\n

\nMitchell has been on her own in business for about three years, since being laid off from a CPA firm in Saratoga Springs. Several clients from that firm now form the basis of her business.<\/p>\n

Before working with the CPA firm, she was in business with her now ex-husband. She is a solo practitioner with no employees. “I have control issues,” she explained, and prefers not to have other employees servicing her clients.<\/p>\n

In addition to the clients on Mitchell’s auto route, she has “remote” clients, some of whom she never sees.<\/p>\n

For example, the head of a business in Lake Placid calls in the company’s data and another client, in Schroon Lake, reports to Mitchell weekly through the Internet. Most of her other clients are in the Queensbury area but normally, she also spends one day a week in Albany.<\/p>\n

There’s no need for this bookkeeper sharpening her pencil. All of her work is done by computer, with QuickBooks. Mitchell does business accounts, sales records, payrolls and prepares some tax returns, but not for income taxes.<\/p>\n

Mitchell’s business, TM’s Bookkeeping, can be reached at 791-5232.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
