§ 02 · Bookkeeping services

Four engagements. Pick the one that fits.

Most owners aren’t sure which engagement they need — the discovery call sorts that. But here is how each is shaped, what it costs, and when it’s the right fit. Canonical price ranges shown; your exact fixed fee follows the call.

01 · Recurring

Monthly bookkeeping

Ongoing monthly close, real reconciliations, financial package by the 15th, once your statements and documents are in — the same shape every month. For books that are current and accurate and need a partner to keep them that way.

For: Businesses ready for ongoing partnership · Monthly, recurring

$500–$2,500+/month

Explore monthly bookkeeping
02 · Project

Bookkeeping cleanup

Reconstruct accurate books from a messy state — fix categorizations, run real bank and credit-card reconciliations, correct prior-period errors, produce CPA-ready statements. The most common starting engagement.

For: Messy, miscategorized, or unreconciled books · 2–8 weeks, fixed fee

$1,200–$15,000+ fixed fee

Explore bookkeeping cleanup
03 · Project

Catch-up bookkeeping

Bring backlogged books current — missed transactions entered, every prior period reconciled against actual statements, statements rebuilt through the current month. For books that are behind but otherwise structured correctly. (Not sure that’s the engagement you need? What catch-up bookkeeping means, in plain terms.)

For: Behind-but-structured books, 3+ months · 2–10 weeks, fixed fee

$2,000–$20,000+ fixed fee

Explore catch-up bookkeeping
04 · Specialized

Multi-year historical cleanup

3+ years of books reconstructed at scale — for business sales, SBA applications, IRS issues, or complex tax filings that require deep, accurate history. Scoped per year against a written fixed fee.

For: Multi-year backlog, often with errors · 6–16 weeks, fixed scope

Fixed fee, scoped in writing

§ 04 · Why TechBrot bookkeeping

Named roles, firm standards.

Bookkeeping is delivered by TechBrot, in your own QuickBooks file — not by anonymous teams or rotating remote subscriptions.

  1. 01

    Your TechBrot team

    You know exactly who is closing your books, how to reach them, and what credentials they hold — not a rotating team nobody names or an anonymous queue.

  2. 02

    A senior bookkeeper

    TechBrot’s senior reviewer, a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, holds the Intuit QuickBooks Certification Level 2 and QuickBooks Workforce Certification. Real credentials — not generic remote bookkeepers.

  3. 03

    Fixed-fee scopes

    Every engagement is priced in writing before work begins. No hourly billing surprises, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.

  4. 04

    Your QuickBooks file

    Your senior bookkeeper works as an invited accountant user inside your existing QuickBooks file. No proprietary software, no forced migration, no vendor lock-in.

  5. 05

    Review before delivery

    Every engagement is reviewed before delivery against a defined operating standard. Quality is not self-policed: a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor reviews every close before it reaches you.

  6. 06

    Your file stays yours

    Your QuickBooks file, the written scope and the engagement record stay with you — the work runs in your own file, not on ours.

§ 05 · Industries served

Bookkeeping that understands your industry.

Bookkeeping done well requires understanding how the business actually runs. Our senior bookkeepers and specialist partner practices bring depth in the industries we serve most.

§ 06 · Who performs the work

Introduced once you sign, checked against TechBrot’s close standard before it reaches you.

Every close is reviewed before it reaches you. You know who is closing your books, how to reach them, and what credentials they hold. Every engagement is reviewed before delivery, and if the relationship ever needs to transition the firm reassigns your account with full context — your file, the written scope and the engagement record are held by the firm, not by one person.

§ 08 · Bookkeeping questions

What people ask about bookkeeping engagements.

Who is TechBrot bookkeeping for?

U.S. small and mid-sized businesses that need a serious, accountable bookkeeping partner — e-commerce operators, real estate investors, construction firms, restaurants, professional services practices, SaaS startups, and any owner whose books need ongoing management, cleanup, or catch-up.

How much does TechBrot bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping: $500–$2,500+/month. Bookkeeping cleanup engagements: $1,200–$15,000+ fixed fee. Catch-up engagements: $2,000–$20,000+ fixed fee. Multi-year historical cleanup: one fixed fee, scoped in writing. Pricing depends on transaction volume, accounts, payroll, sales tax, and complexity. Every engagement is fixed-fee.

Who actually does the work?

Every engagement runs on three roles: a client advisor who scopes it and stays your point of contact, a senior 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 U.S.-based bookkeeper is available on request; we can share their public directory profile with you.

Does TechBrot use my existing QuickBooks file?

Yes. TechBrot works in your existing QuickBooks file — Online, Desktop, Enterprise, or payroll (the QuickBooks Workforce Certification). No proprietary software, no forced migration. Your file, your data, your access.

Which bookkeeping engagement is right for my business?

It depends on the current state of your books. Monthly bookkeeping for books that are current and accurate — recurring engagement, senior bookkeeper, monthly close, financial package by the 15th, once your statements and documents are in. Catch-up bookkeeping for books that are behind but otherwise structured correctly — brings backlog current then transitions to monthly. Bookkeeping cleanup for messy, miscategorized, or inaccurate books — reconstructs accurate books from a messy state then transitions to monthly. Multi-year historical cleanup for 3+ years behind, often required for business sales or SBA applications.

How does TechBrot deliver bookkeeping differently?

TechBrot delivers bookkeeping remotely, in your own QuickBooks file, prepared by a senior bookkeeper who works in your software, or by a signed specialist practice when your books need one: not an anonymous team and not a centralized remote subscription. Bench uses its own proprietary technology; Pilot describes itself as serving startups and small businesses; QuickBooks Live is Intuit’s own service, scoped narrowly. TechBrot: a senior bookkeeper, your existing QuickBooks file, documented quality standards.

What QuickBooks products does TechBrot work with?

TechBrot’s senior reviewer, a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, holds Intuit QuickBooks Certification Level 2 and QuickBooks Workforce Certification, and TechBrot also works in QuickBooks Desktop, QuickBooks Enterprise and QuickBooks Payroll files. The work happens in your existing QuickBooks file — no proprietary software, no forced migration. TechBrot engagements produce CPA-ready, lender-ready financial statements reconciled to source documents with documented adjustments.

How do I get started?

Book a 30-minute discovery call. TechBrot reviews your file, determines which engagement fits, and produces a written fixed-fee scope within 3 business days. No pitch, no obligation. If TechBrot isn’t the right fit, we’ll say so.
