FAQ
How much will this cost me?
We need to know more about your business and your needs before we can give an accurate estimate. We charge a flat rate for ongoing bookkeeping so there will be no surprises. For other services it may be a flat fee or an hourly, depending on the job. QuickBooks review are offered at no cost, which I will prepare a quote from. Our monthly bookkeeping service fees start at $350.
Why Flat Pricing?
Because no one likes surprises when it comes to bills. Why should you pay extra because they get interrupted but the timer is still running. Maybe you have more questions in a given month, and need to call or email more than usual - why pay extra for that time? Many bookkeepers that charge on an hourly basis are inexperienced, and why should you pay more because it takes them longer to complete a task or you have to connect a few extra times. We can always re-evaluate as you need more or less tasks.
Why should I outsource bookkeeping instead of hiring an employee?
It is cheaper than hiring an employee. You will no longer have to worry about vacation time, sick leave, health insurance, workers comp, office space and equipment, payroll taxes and any other benefit an employee is offered.
What is the difference between an accountant and a bookkeeper?
A bookkeeper records and classifies a company's daily financial transactions such as sales, payroll, payment of bills, etc. Their focus is on accurate record-keeping and less focused on interpreting the data and analytics. An accountant builds on the information that is provided to them by the bookkeeper.
Why should my bookkeeper and tax preparer by separate?
The greatest benefit of separating your bookkeeping and tax preparer is getting two different perspectives. When you have a good bookkeeper and tax preparer, you have a powerful team.
Tax Preparers are looking at the big picture; bookkeepers are all about the details.
CPA firms and tax preparers may also offer bookkeeping tasks. However, this work is generally passed to lower-level bookkeepers, but you will likely pay CPA rates.
