True, but chances are (am talking from first hand experience here), the main way of working from home as a bookkeeper is as a contractor. Very hard, unless you are already working with a firm, to find actual employment in a work at home capacity.
It is even difficult as contractor at times to work from home, as often the client requires you to be in site.

Sorry, but people suggest bookkeeping like it is a job than anyone can do to work from home and it is far from the truth these days. It is now, thankfully, a role that people need qualifications for. (I am posting this for the benefit of others who may read the thread in hope of ideas)
