How much does bookkeeping cost?
The exact number depends on four inputs you can count yourself, before any call. No "book a demo to find out" curtain. Here is the whole model.
The four inputs
Strip away the mystery and bookkeeping cost boils down to workload. Four main things drive it:
- Accounts. Every bank account and credit card gets reconciled monthly. Count yours.
- Transaction volume. Fifty transactions per month and five hundred are different jobs.
- Payroll. Each pay run adds entries and liabilities that have to tie out.
- The current state of the books. Clean books cost less to keep clean. A backlog means a one-time catch-up project first, then the monthly rate.
A quote that arrives without questions about these four inputs is a guess. Guesses get corrected later - rarely downward.
Why there is no hourly option
Hourly billing pays the bookkeeper more for working slower. That is a bad trade for the client, so we will not offer it here. The rate is flat, agreed in writing before the month starts.
The rates
| Plan | Price | Built for |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | from $399/mo | Solo operators and small teams. Up to 4 accounts and about 50 transactions a month, no payroll. Monthly close with P&L and Balance Sheet, plus year-end financials your CPA can file from. |
| Growth | from $799/mo | Established businesses. Up to 200 transactions a month, payroll oversight for up to 10 employees, and a monthly call walking through the numbers. |
| Tailored | custom | Higher volumes, multiple entities or locations, multi-state sales tax. Scoped on a free call. |
All prices in USD. "From" reflects the four inputs above. The exact number is confirmed in writing after the free consultation, before any work begins.
Which plan fits
Placement takes five minutes. Count the accounts, pull last month's transaction count from the bank statements, note whether payroll runs. Under 4 accounts and about 50 transactions with no payroll is Essentials. More volume or employees is Growth. Multiple entities, or anything unusual, is a Tailored conversation. The contact form runs this same math and shows an estimate before anything is sent.
What is never billed
Questions. "What is this category?" and "why is March down?" are part of the service. Charging a client to explain their own numbers has the incentives backwards.
