A bit of a late reply ...
As an accountant with over 30 years experience, my advice is to get a qualification first before providing services. If you are providing any service you need professional indemnity insurance (it's around £100 maybe cheaper) that protects you from a client trying to sue you.
ICB & AAT are two very good qualifications that are modular so you could get through those quite quickly (all my staff have either of these). You will also get a lot of support (especially from your local ICB branch) on starting out as a bookkeeper.
If you are looking for cheap software try VT transaction - it's the best software (but not cloud based).
Hope that helps.
