In one paragraph

What monthly bookkeeping is.

Monthly bookkeeping is a recurring engagement where a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor closes the books every month — reconciling bank and credit card accounts against actual statements, categorizing transactions, verifying payroll and sales tax entries, and delivering a monthly financial package: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement. The close package arrives by the 15th of the following month. Monthly engagements start from a known-current state, so businesses with backlogs typically begin with catch-up bookkeeping first, and businesses with messy books begin with cleanup bookkeeping first — then transition seamlessly to monthly with the same operator.

Monthly bookkeeping, in five questions.

What is monthly bookkeeping?

Monthly bookkeeping is a recurring engagement where a professional bookkeeper closes the books every month — reconciling bank and credit card accounts, categorizing transactions, verifying payroll and sales tax, and delivering a monthly financial package including P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement.

How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?

Monthly bookkeeping pricing depends on transaction volume, bank account count, payroll, sales tax, and entity complexity. Typical engagements range from $400/month for simple books to $2,500+/month for complex businesses. Every TechBrot engagement is fixed monthly fee against a written scope.

What does monthly bookkeeping include?

Standard monthly bookkeeping includes bank and credit card reconciliations, transaction categorization, AP and AR upkeep, payroll and sales tax verification, monthly close, and a monthly financial package — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement. Many engagements add quarterly business reviews and year-end preparation.

When is my financial package delivered?

By the 15th of the following month. For example, January books close and the January financial package is delivered by February 15. Complex multi-entity or inventory engagements may close by the 20th.

Do I need cleanup or catch-up before monthly?

Monthly bookkeeping starts from a known-current state. Behind books need catch-up first. Messy or inaccurate books need cleanup first. Most clients transition directly from cleanup or catch-up to monthly with the same operator.

Is monthly the right engagement?

If any of these sound familiar, the answer is yes.

  • Your business is past the DIY-bookkeeping stage.

    Self-managing the books worked when the business was small. Now the time, errors, and missed insights cost more than a professional bookkeeper would.

  • You need monthly numbers, not just year-end ones.

    If you’re only seeing financials at tax time, you’re flying blind 11 months a year. Monthly close gives you real numbers to make decisions on.

  • Your CPA needs clean books to file efficiently.

    CPAs charge significantly more when they have to clean up your books at tax time. Monthly bookkeeping delivers a year-end package they can file directly from.

  • You just finished cleanup or catch-up.

    The natural next step. Monthly bookkeeping keeps the books in the state cleanup and catch-up just delivered. Same operator continues without context loss.

  • You have a lender, board, or investor watching the numbers.

    SBA loans, lines of credit, investors, and boards all need timely monthly financials. Monthly bookkeeping is the operational floor.

  • Your current bookkeeper is unreliable or non-responsive.

    Anonymous offshore teams, no named contact, late or missing deliverables. Monthly engagements with TechBrot fix all three.
