What's included every month

• Monthly reconciliations. Every bank, credit card and loan account reconciled to its statement.
• Monthly financial statements. Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet delivered shortly after month-end.
• Categorized transactions. Bank feeds and bank rules in QuickBooks Online, so your part shrinks to a few answers a month.
• A monthly review. What changed and why, with ideas to make and save money, like a light fractional CFO.
• Real answers. Questions don't run a meter. Book a quick call whenever you want to talk through your numbers.
• 60-day money-back guarantee. If you're not happy in the first 60 days, you get your money back.

What sets your price

• Number of accounts. Each bank account, credit card, loan and merchant account gets reconciled to its statement every month.
• Transaction volume. How many transactions come through each month. More activity takes more time to categorize and review.
• Complexity. Inventory, job costing, rental properties, multiple locations or several entities add work.
• Payroll and sales tax. Running payroll, 1099s and tying out Arizona transaction privilege tax (TPT) to your books.
• How current your books are. Monthly pricing assumes your books are caught up. Older months are a one-time catch-up project, quoted up front.

Why a set monthly price

Hourly billing makes bookkeeping hard to budget, and it makes owners hesitate to ask questions. With a set monthly price you know exactly what you'll pay, and we're rewarded for keeping your books efficient, not for taking longer.

It depends on your accounts, transaction volume and complexity. Our monthly bookkeeping starts at $250 per month, and most clients pay around $500 per month. Book a quick call and we'll give you an exact quote.

Do you charge by the hour?

No. You get a set monthly price agreed up front, so your bill doesn't change every month and you never have to think twice about asking a question.

Why do bookkeeping prices vary so much?

Price follows the work, not your revenue. The number of accounts to reconcile, how many transactions you have, payroll, sales tax and how far behind the books are all change the time involved.

What if my books are behind?

We review your file and give you a fixed quote for the catch-up before any work starts. After that you move to the regular monthly price.

Am I overpaying for bookkeeping?

If your bill changes every month, your books are still behind, you still do your own data entry or nobody explains your reports, you're likely paying more than the invoice shows. Read our pricing guide to compare.
