Freelance Bookkeeper Directory by Software
Small business owners find freelance bookkeepers by accounting software, industry, country and monthly fee range; bookkeepers pay to be featured.
Economics
- Pricing example
- Free profile; $39 for 90 days featured on software and industry pages
- Daily math
- 1 featured purchase every 2 days x $39 = about $19.50/day; a few extra purchases a month take the average past $20/day.
- Target if you hit the daily math
- Target: $550 - $800 / month if the daily math is hit
Audience and urgency
Audience: Paying side: freelance and small-practice bookkeepers. Free side: small business owners and founders looking for monthly bookkeeping help.
Urgency: Accounting software vendors run their own partner directories, but each covers one product and is built around its partner programme. A business owner comparing freelancers by software, industry and price range has no single place to look, and freelancers rely on referrals.
MVP scope
- ✓ Bookkeeper profile: software used, industries served, services (monthly bookkeeping, catch-up, payroll, year-end prep), countries/time zones, monthly fee range, booking link
- ✓ Optional link to the bookkeeper's own public certification or partner profile; no 'verified' badge unless you check it
- ✓ Search and filter pages by software, industry and country, generated only where listings exist
- ✓ Featured purchase via Stripe Checkout that expires automatically after 90 days
- ✓ Admin approval queue and a 'report listing' link
Omitted features
- - Do NOT claim bookkeepers are vetted or certified unless you verify it
- - Do NOT take a commission or handle payments between clients and bookkeepers
- - Do NOT copy listings from vendor partner directories

One-shot master prompt
Build a "Bookkeeper Directory" in Next.js with Tailwind CSS and Supabase. Core requirements: 1. Bookkeeper sign-up (magic link) and profile: name or practice name, photo/logo, software (multi-select: Xero, QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books, Wave, FreshBooks, Sage, other), industries, services, countries and time zone, monthly fee range + currency, languages, booking/contact URL, optional certification profile URL. 2. Search page with filters for all of the above; featured profiles first with a visible "Featured" label. 3. Static pages /software/[software] and /software/[software]/[industry] generated only when at least one approved listing exists, each with a unique title and meta description. 4. Stripe Checkout for a 90-day featured spot ($39); a webhook sets featured_until and a daily job clears expired spots. 5. Admin page to approve, hide or remove listings, plus a public report form. Show certification links as "self-reported" unless an admin marks them checked.
