Service catalog§The distinction
Bookkeeping, accounting, and where TechBrot fits.
Bookkeeping is the operational recording and organizing of financial transactions — categorizing expenses, reconciling bank and credit accounts, producing monthly financial statements, managing accounts payable and receivable. It’s the foundation everything else is built on.
Accounting is the broader discipline: bookkeeping plus financial analysis, reporting, tax preparation, audit, and strategy. Some accounting functions require licensure — tax filing and IRS representation require a CPA or EA.
TechBrot delivers the operational accounting layer: bookkeeping, QuickBooks management, payroll, and sales tax compliance, plus fractional CFO strategy for growth-stage businesses. We produce CPA-ready books and coordinate directly with your CPA for tax filing and audit. The clean split: TechBrot keeps the books right; your CPA files from them. Most businesses need both. For the owner’s-eye view of how this fits a growing company, see our guide to small business accounting.

§Common questions
Common questions.
What’s the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping is the operational recording of transactions — categorizing, reconciling, monthly statements. Accounting is the broader discipline including bookkeeping plus analysis, reporting, tax preparation, and strategy. TechBrot delivers the operational layer (bookkeeping, QuickBooks, payroll, sales tax) plus fractional CFO strategy; your CPA handles tax filing.
What accounting services does TechBrot offer?
Monthly bookkeeping, cleanup bookkeeping, catch-up bookkeeping, QuickBooks setup/cleanup/migration, payroll management, multi-state sales tax compliance, and fractional CFO. All fixed-fee, written scope, Certified ProAdvisor delivery.
Does TechBrot replace my accountant or CPA?
No. TechBrot delivers operational accounting and CPA-ready books; your CPA or EA handles tax filing, audit, and IRS representation. Most businesses use both. We coordinate with your CPA directly, and refer you to one if you don’t have one.
How much do TechBrot’s accounting services cost?
Fixed-fee, no hourly billing. Monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/mo; cleanup $1,500–$15,000+; catch-up $2,000–$20,000+; QuickBooks setup $750–$5,000+; migration $2,500–$10,000+; payroll $150–$800+/mo; sales tax $250–$1,500+/mo; fractional CFO $3,000–$8,000+/mo. The discovery call is free.
Is TechBrot affiliated with Intuit Inc.?
No. TechBrot is an independent Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor firm. We hold active Intuit certifications and use QuickBooks software, but TechBrot is not owned, employed, or operated by Intuit. QuickBooks and Intuit are registered trademarks of Intuit Inc.
Do you work inside my existing QuickBooks file?
Yes. TechBrot works as an authorized accountant-user inside your own QuickBooks file — your data stays yours, the audit trail is visible to you, and access is revocable at any time. No forced migration to proprietary software, no parallel system.
What size businesses does TechBrot work with?
U.S. small and mid-sized businesses. Bookkeeping, QuickBooks, payroll, and sales tax engagements suit owner-operated businesses through established mid-market firms; fractional CFO is scoped for roughly $1M–$50M businesses and is accepted by application.
Do I need an accountant if I already have a bookkeeper?
Often yes — they do different jobs. A bookkeeper records and reconciles transactions; accounting adds analysis, reporting, and getting the books ready for tax. Many owners keep both: solid bookkeeping for the day-to-day, plus accounting and advisory for the bigger picture. TechBrot delivers both the operational books and fractional-CFO-level advisory, then coordinates with your CPA for filing.
When should I hire an accountant for my business?
When the bookkeeping starts eating your time, when you can’t tell which parts of the business actually make money, or when growth, payroll, financing, or multi-state sales tax adds complexity a spreadsheet can’t track. A simple test: if money decisions feel like guesses, you’re past due. TechBrot can start with monthly bookkeeping or a cleanup and add advisory as the business grows.
How do I get started with TechBrot, and how long does it take?
Start with a free 30-minute discovery call — call (877) 751-5575 or book online. We map your current books, scope the work, and send a written fixed-fee quote, usually within 3 business days; once you approve it we get authorized-user access to your QuickBooks file and begin. Recurring monthly bookkeeping starts at $400/mo.
