§ 01 · The short version
What TechBrot does, in one paragraph.
§ The short version
TechBrot, Inc. is an independent U.S. bookkeeping and advisory firm. Small businesses come to us when their books are behind, broken, or about to outgrow whoever is keeping them — and we fix the file, then keep it fixed. The work spans QuickBooks file cleanup, catch-up, and monthly bookkeeping; QuickBooks setup and migration; payroll and multi-state sales tax; and fractional-CFO advisory when the books are ready to say something. Every engagement follows the same five-phase model: a free discovery call, a written fixed-fee scope within 3 business days, onboarding, delivery, and a CPA-ready handoff. The work is done in your own QuickBooks file, prepared by a senior bookkeeper matched to your industry and software, or by a specialist partner practice when your books need one, and every close is checked against TechBrot’s written close standard before it reaches you. Call (877) 751-5575.

See the pricing model§ 03 · Where bookkeeping is going
The value is moving to judgment.
Software categorizes transactions well — it can’t tell you whether the books are right, what the numbers mean, or what to do next.
Accuracy
Automated books still break
Bank feeds miscategorize, duplicates pile up, and reconciliations drift. Judgment catches what software quietly gets wrong.Insight
Numbers need interpretation
A clean P&L is the start, not the answer. Advisory turns reports into cash-flow, pricing, and growth decisions.Complexity
Complexity needs an expert
Multi-state payroll, sales-tax nexus, inventory, multi-entity structures — judgment calls automation isn’t built to make.§ 04 · Find your starting point

§ 08 · Accountable
Your TechBrot team. Verifiable credentials.
Every engagement runs on three roles: a client advisor who scopes it and stays your point of contact, a bookkeeper who prepares your setup and monthly close in your software, and a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor who reviews every close before it reaches you. A senior bookkeeper is available on request, including a U.S.-based bookkeeper whose public directory profile we can share with you.
Specialists when your books need them.
Senior bookkeepers who specialize in rental portfolios and Xero, and specialist partner practices for trust accounting for law firms and CFO advisory. We bring the right one onto your engagement when your business calls for it, under the same standards and review.

§ 12 · Common questions
Answers before you ask.
What does a monthly bookkeeping engagement cost?
Fixed monthly fees, set in writing before work begins. There are four tiers by monthly volume: Starter $500–$700/mo, Core $700–$950/mo, Standard $950–$1,400/mo and Complex $1,500–$2,500+/mo. Your exact fee comes from the discovery call and arrives as a written scope — call (877) 751-5575 for a free discovery call.
Who actually does the work on my books?
Your books are prepared by a senior bookkeeper matched to your industry and software, or by a specialist partner practice when your books need one, in your own QuickBooks file. Every close is reviewed by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor before it reaches you. It is never a rotating queue.
How long does a QuickBooks cleanup take?
It depends on how many months are affected and how many accounts need reconciling — that’s exactly what the file review measures. You get a written fixed-fee scope with a timeline within 3 business days of the discovery call. Plan for 2–8 weeks, depending on scope and access to records.
Do you replace my CPA?
No — we make your CPA’s job easier. TechBrot delivers the bookkeeping, cleanup, payroll, and reporting layer; every engagement ends CPA-ready, and we coordinate directly with your tax preparer at year-end. If you don’t have a CPA, we’ll tell you when you need one.
How do you access my QuickBooks file securely?
Through QuickBooks’ own accountant-access invitation — you add us as an accountant user from your file, which you can revoke at any time. No password sharing, least-privilege access to bank feeds and payroll, and documents move through a secure share, not email attachments. Desktop and migration work may require agreed secure file access or working copies, handled under our data-processing terms.
What if we’re behind multiple years?
That’s a multi-year catch-up engagement, and it’s routine work for us. We quantify the backlog month by month, give you one fixed fee in writing, and bring the books current and CPA-ready — usually working newest-first so tax deadlines are protected. Call (877) 751-5575 for a free discovery call and a written read on the backlog.
What happens if we stop working with TechBrot?
You keep everything. The QuickBooks file is yours, in your own account — we work in it, we never hold it. Any engagement ends with a CPA-ready handoff, and the exit terms are part of the written scope you sign, so there are no surprises about leaving.
