AN ACCOUNTING GRADUATE! WHAT NEXT?

HOW TO APPROACH YOUR FIRST BOOKKEEPING CLIENT

You don't need to start by looking for a big company.
Start with the businesses around you.

A restaurant.
A snack bar.
A fashion shop.
A salon.
A provision store.
A small pharmacy.
A small supermarket.
A guest house.
A printing business.

1. Identify a business you understand
Choose a business where you can see that transactions are happening regularly but record-keeping may not be well organised.

2. Don't start by saying “I need a job.”
You are offering a service.
Try:

“Good afternoon. I am an Accounting graduate/student trained in computerized accounting with Solafide. I help small businesses organise their daily transactions, expenses, sales, stock and financial records. I would like to discuss how I could support your business remotely.”

3. Ask about their problem
Don't immediately talk about software.

Ask:
“How do you currently keep track of your daily sales and expenses?”
Then listen.

4. Show them what you can do

Explain simply how you can help them keep their records updated, reconcile transactions and generate useful reports using Solafide.

5. Start small
Don't try to take over everything on day one.

Agree on a manageable scope, establish your fee and responsibilities, and build trust through consistent work.

Remember:

Your first client may not come from a job advertisement.
It could come from a business you already know.

Look around. Identify a need. Start a conversation. Offer a solution.

You don't need a large accounting department to have better accounting processes.
Sometimes, it starts with the basics:

✅ Record transactions on time.
✅ Keep your receipts and supporting documents.
✅ Separate business and personal money.
✅ Reconcile your records regularly.
✅ Keep an eye on your inventory.
✅ Choose accounting software that fits your business and accounting environment.
✅ And don't let automation replace professional review.

Small habits today can prevent significant accounting problems tomorrow.

This weekend, take a moment to ask yourself:

👉 Are your accounting processes helping you understand your business—or simply keeping records?

Have a relaxing weekend

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS TAUGHT US ABOUT BUILDING SOLAFIDE

Building a business teaches you things that no textbook can.

When we started building Solafide, we had ideas about what businesses needed. But speaking with real business owners, listening to their frustrations, watching how they work, and seeing how they respond to new technology taught us something important:

The customer doesn't just buy your product. The customer helps you understand what the product needs to become.

In this episode, we share some of the lessons we have learned from dealing with customers while building Solafide.

We talk about:

* What customers actually taught us about building business software
* Why what customers ASK for isn't always what they NEED
* How customer complaints can become valuable product feedback
* Why trust matters when introducing technology to businesses
* What African businesses have taught us about building for Africa
* Why founders must be willing to change their original ideas
* The difference between building a product and creating something people truly value
* Why listening to customers can completely change a business

One of the biggest lessons?

Don't fall in love with your idea. Fall in love with understanding the problem.

Because customers don't owe your product success.

You have to earn it.

This isn't just a conversation about Solafide.

It's a conversation about entrepreneurship, product development, customer experience, startups, African businesses and what really happens when you take an idea into the real world.

👇 QUESTION FOR YOU:

What is the most important lesson a customer has ever taught you about your business?
