Next: Choose a Package

Full Service Bookkeeping - $450 and up monthly

This package is for you if you say... "I have no payroll (or is handled by a service) and my business is doing well. I don't have time to deal with the bookkeeping myself, or train someone in house, but I don't want to fall behind and I'm tired of surprises at the end of the year."

Basic Bookkeeping  -$300 and up monthly

This package is for you if you say... "I need a budget friendly solution for my simple small business. I don't have payroll (or my payroll is handled by a service) and I need to be free to run my business while leaving the books to a professional."  

Coach Me Bookkeeping Package  -$250 and up monthly

This is the package for you if you  say...  "I am very computer literate, and software savvy. I'm familiar with debits and credits and I know how I want to handle my business.  I don't have payroll (or I use a payroll service) I can handle all the data-entry, I just need a little support to make sure I don't make any mistakes." 

*****************************************************

Payroll Services are available 

as a standalone service that can be added to any package. 

Prices start at $125 for a basic one to four employee package (including owner payroll)  and go up based on the number of employees and benefits provided.
