Fixed-fee Delaware pricing — written scope before any work.
Most firms hide pricing and bill by the hour. TechBrot does the opposite: every Delaware engagement is a fixed fee against a written scope, agreed before work begins — monthly bookkeeping from $400/mo, cleanup from $1,200. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. A named Certified ProAdvisor works inside your own QuickBooks file across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties. We deliver the books and the CPA-ready handoff — gross-receipts tracking, the franchise-tax reserve, Wilmington wage tax; your CPA files the returns and your registered agent or CPA files the franchise tax.
TechBrot prices every Delaware engagement as a fixed fee against a written scope, agreed before any work begins — never hourly. Delaware starting ranges: monthly bookkeeping from $400/mo, cleanup / catch-up from $1,200, QuickBooks setup from $750, QuickBooks cleanup from $1,200, gross-receipts-tax help from $500, franchise-tax help from $300, fractional CFO from $1,500/mo. The free 30-minute discovery call returns your exact fixed fee in writing within 3 business days. The full Delaware pricing detail is below.
Maintained by the Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor team at TechBrot Inc., an independent firm — not affiliated with Intuit Inc. and not a registered agent. Delaware facts (no sales tax; the gross receipts tax on the seller; the annual franchise tax; Wilmington’s 1.25% wage tax) reflect DE Division of Revenue and Division of Corporations guidance and are reviewed periodically. TechBrot does not file Delaware returns or the franchise tax / annual report; your CPA and registered agent file.

Delaware pricing, in five questions.
How does TechBrot price services in Delaware?
Fixed-fee with a written scope before any work begins. No hourly billing. Delaware starting ranges: monthly bookkeeping from $400/mo; cleanup/catch-up from $1,200; QuickBooks setup from $750; QuickBooks cleanup from $1,200; gross-receipts-tax help from $500; franchise-tax help from $300; fractional CFO from $1,500/mo. Your exact fixed fee follows a free discovery call, in writing within 3 business days.
Why no hourly billing?
Hourly billing penalizes you for the provider’s inefficiency and creates unpredictable invoices. TechBrot fixes the fee against a written scope so the total cost is known before work starts. Scope changes are re-quoted in writing — never a surprise invoice.
What sets the price within a range?
Transaction volume, number of accounts, entities, history depth, and file complexity — plus Delaware specifics like gross-receipts tracking by business activity, the franchise-tax reserve, Wilmington wage-tax setup, and holding-company or multi-entity structure. The discovery call surfaces these; the written scope reflects them.
Free call? Any contracts?
Free, 30 minutes, no obligation. Written fixed-fee scope within 3 business days. No long-term lock-in on recurring Delaware engagements — they run month to month against the written scope.
Does it include tax filing?
No. TechBrot delivers CPA-ready books; your CPA files your returns, and your registered agent or CPA files the Delaware franchise tax and annual report. Year-end CPA handoff is included free in recurring engagements. We don’t file returns or represent clients before tax authorities, and we’re not a registered agent.
How TechBrot Delaware pricing works.
Every TechBrot engagement is fixed-fee with a written scope agreed before any work begins — no hourly billing. Delaware starting ranges: monthly bookkeeping from $400/mo; cleanup / catch-up from $1,200; QuickBooks setup from $750; QuickBooks cleanup from $1,200; gross-receipts-tax help from $500; franchise-tax help from $300; fractional CFO from $1,500/mo.
Where you land depends on real factors — transaction volume, number of accounts and entities, history depth, file complexity, and Delaware specifics like gross-receipts tracking by business activity, the franchise-tax reserve, Wilmington’s 1.25% wage tax, and holding-company structure. The 30-minute discovery call is free; your exact fixed fee is delivered in writing within 3 business days. No long-term lock-in on recurring engagements.
Tax filing isn’t included — your CPA files your returns and your registered agent or CPA files the franchise tax and annual report — but year-end CPA handoff is included free in recurring engagements. TechBrot is an independent Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor firm, not a CPA firm and not a registered agent; not affiliated with Intuit Inc.; it does not file Delaware returns.
Every Delaware engagement fits one of three shapes.
Pricing structure follows the shape of the work. All three run to the same standard: fixed fee, written scope, named ProAdvisor.
Monthly retainer
Ongoing work billed as a fixed monthly fee. Same-shape deliverables every month. No long-term lock-in — runs month to month against the written scope.
For: monthly bookkeeping, gross-receipts tracking, payroll incl. Wilmington wage tax.
Fixed-fee project
Defined-scope work delivered in weeks, with a written fixed fee and set start and completion dates. Often transitions into a recurring engagement after.
For: cleanup, catch-up, QuickBooks setup, QuickBooks cleanup, migration.
CPA & agent-paired
We run the books; your CPA files and your registered agent files the franchise tax. Scoped so they fit cleanly — including gross-receipts-ready books and a tracked franchise-tax reserve handed off at year-end.
For: Delaware entities with an existing CPA or registered agent who need the bookkeeping side.
Every Delaware service, every range.
The complete pricing landscape for Delaware businesses. Every fee is fixed and scoped in writing before work begins.
| Service | Engagement type | Fee range | Cadence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Bookkeeping | Recurring fixed-fee close | From $400/month | Monthly |
| Cleanup / Catch-up Bookkeeping | One-time structural fix | From $1,200 | One-time |
| QuickBooks Setup | New implementation | From $750 | One-time |
| QuickBooks Cleanup | QB-specific structural fix | From $1,200 | One-time |
| Gross Receipts Tax Help | Activity-based receipts tracking | From $500 | Setup + monthly |
| Franchise Tax Help | Annual reserve & method support | From $300 | Annual support |
| Fractional CFO | Forecasting, reporting, advisory | From $1,500/month | Monthly |
All engagements: fixed fee, written scope before work begins, no hourly billing. Figures are indicative starting points, not quotes. Delaware and federal tax-return filing, and the franchise-tax / annual report, are handled by your CPA and registered agent and billed separately. Specific quotes follow the free discovery call within 3 business days.
Why we don’t bill by the hour.
Hourly billing has a structural problem: it penalizes you for the provider’s inefficiency. The slower they work, the more you pay. The invoice is unpredictable, and you can’t budget around it. Worse, it makes you hesitate to call your own accountant — because every question starts a meter.
TechBrot prices every Delaware engagement as a fixed fee against a written scope. You know the total cost before any work begins. Call as often as you need within the engagement — no meter. If the work genuinely expands beyond the agreed scope, the fee is re-quoted and re-approved in writing before anything proceeds. You are never surprised by an invoice.
This works because the work is delivered by Certified ProAdvisors efficient enough to price confidently — including the Delaware specifics, from gross-receipts tracking by activity to the franchise-tax reserve and Wilmington’s wage tax. The fixed fee is a statement of competence: we know how long good work takes, so we can quote it.
Every fixed fee includes these.
Regardless of service or price, every Delaware engagement includes the same six standards. They’re not add-ons — they’re the baseline.
