PRICING STRATEGY
Every client’s business is different. Each business has its own personality. We generally require a Discovery Call to determine where your bookkeeping is at, and what problems exist that we can help solve with our various services. We always want to be up-front with honest and sincere feedback. Pricing can go both ways. If we undercharge, then that is not fair to us. If we overcharge, then that is not fair to you. We prefer neither side and that is why we want to review the books initially, see where things stand, and price accordingly.
PRICING VALUE
The pricing tiers mentioned below are average ranges based on the complexity of bookkeeping that could be needed. Again, each business has its own personality (and bookkeeping history). We want to normalize the outcome for each client, such that the end-of-year closing of books goes smooth and tax transfer of information happens in an organized fashion. Chaos to Clarity – that’s our motto. In addition to the necessary compliance, we want to provide additional value to each client. This goes back to the Value Proposition – your Time, your Freedom, and your Money. Good bookkeeping and appropriate (financial and advisory) feedback can provide this increase in value. We want to provide a personal touch and work with you to grow your business.
PRICING TIERS
Pricing tiers are loosely based on the QBO (QuickBooks Online) subscription levels since each level allows for more complexity, sometimes due to the (revenue) size of the business, but more often due to the industry that the business operates within. Real Estate can deal with multiple financial instruments, Construction can deal with job costings and accrual-basis, Manufacturing can deal with inventory and COGS, etc. Every business will not fit neatly in the table below, and in some cases, the range provided will not be accurate. The Basis and Features fields are very simplified, and each level supports more AI and Automation than the previous level. Each client business has its particular needs. Treat this table as a best-guess estimate, which is better than having no information provided at all.
| QBO Level | Monthly Bookkeeping | Basis | Features | Reports | Max Users |
| Spreadsheet | $150-300 | Cash | eCommerce | Basic | Unlimited |
| Simple Start ($38) | $250-400 | Cash | A/R + A/P | General | 1 |
| Essentials ($75) | $400-700 | Cash | Currencies, Time | Enhanced | 3 |
| Plus ($115) | $700-1000 | Accrual | Inventory | Comprehensive | 5 |
| Advanced ($275) | $1000+ | Both | Class/Loc Tracking | Powerful | 25 |
| Enterprise ($225+) | $1500+ | Both | +++ | +++ | 30-40 |
The Spreadsheet option is for solopreneur businesses that deal with digital and physical products. Selling platforms would include eBay, Etsy, and Shopify. Physical products (which involve inventory) would generally have a higher monthly price than digital-only products.
QBO Level pricing is based on (monthly) retail subscriptions. If you are a new user to QBO, we can provide some discount for you.
QBO has their own transaction fees (payroll, time, bill pay, payments) that need to be weighed against third-party solutions, be it Paypal, Stripe, Gusto, etc. We wish to provide the client with enough information for them to make the best decision that is in their best interest.
Reduce expenses, increase income – that is the path to greater profit, a more successful business, and hopefully an increase in value for Time, Freedom, and Money on your behalf. Let us help!
