Clear bookkeeping pricing for contractors and trade businesses starts with the condition of your books, transaction volume, job costing needs, payroll, and reporting. We inspect first, then quote.
Every trade business looks different. Different number of accounts, different transaction volumes, different levels of chaos. A roofing company with two bank accounts and 80 transactions a month is a completely different job than a general contractor with job costing across 12 active projects.
That's why we don't post a price list. We look at your books first, then give you an exact number. Here's what affects the cost:
Bank accounts, credit cards, and loans. Every account that needs to be reconciled each month adds to the workload.
More transactions means more time to categorize, review, and reconcile. A business doing 50 transactions a month is a different job than one doing 500.
If your books are months or years behind, a cleanup is needed before we can start monthly work. The further behind, the more it takes to catch up.
Tracking costs by job takes significantly more time than basic bookkeeping. The more jobs you run, the more detailed the work gets.
If you have employees or subcontractors, payroll entries need to be coded, reviewed, and reconciled monthly as part of the books.
Miscategorized transactions, missing entries, and uncategorized bank feeds mean more correction work before clean books can be maintained.
These aren't locked-in prices. They're honest ranges based on the types of businesses we work with most. Your exact number comes after we inspect your books.
If your books are behind or a mess, we fix them before starting monthly work. Cleanup is priced per month of work that needs to be done.
Complexity, transaction volume, and how badly the books are categorized all affect the final number.
Regular monthly bookkeeping keeps your books clean, reconciled, and ready to review at any time.
Includes reconciliation, categorization, financial reports, and monthly review with your bookkeeper.
These are estimates based on typical clients. We don't finalize pricing until we've reviewed your actual books. There are no surprises after you sign. Your rate is locked in writing before we start.
No guessing, no vague timelines. Here's the exact path from where you are now to having clean, reliable books every single month.
We get read-only access to your QuickBooks Online file and do a full review. We flag what's wrong, estimate how long it will take to fix, and give you a clear picture of what your books actually look like. You get labeled Green, Yellow, or Red, along with a specific plan and exact pricing. No cost, no commitment.
If your books need work before we can maintain them properly, we do a cleanup first. This means going back through your history, fixing miscategorized transactions, reconciling accounts, and getting everything accurate. We give you a fixed price upfront. No hourly billing surprises.
Once your books are clean, we take over the monthly work. Every month: reconcile all accounts, categorize every transaction, run your financial reports, and flag anything that looks off. Your books are done and ready to review within a few days of month-end, every single month.
We don't just hand you reports and disappear. Each month we walk through what the numbers mean: your margins, job profitability, cash position, and trends to watch. If something looks wrong, we flag it. If you have questions, we answer them in plain language. You'll actually understand your own business finances.
You've probably seen bookkeeping services that post a flat rate online. $199/month, no questions asked. Here's what they don't tell you: those prices change the moment they see your actual books, or the service is automated software with no real human reviewing your numbers.
We look at your books first because we refuse to give you a number we can't stand behind. When we quote you a price, it's based on your actual transaction volume, your actual account setup, and the actual condition of your books.
That means no surprises after you sign. No "well, actually your books were worse than expected." Your price is locked. Period.
We review your QuickBooks file, tell you exactly what's going on, and give you a real price, with no cost and no commitment. Most inspections are done within 48 hours.
No credit card. No commitment. Just clarity.
