How TechBrot New York pricing works.
Every TechBrot engagement is fixed-fee with a written scope agreed before any work begins — no hourly billing. Ranges: 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+; sales-tax tracking $250–$1,500+/mo; payroll $150–$800+/mo. Where you land depends on real factors — transaction volume, accounts and entities, history depth, file complexity, and New York specifics like NYC sales-tax complexity and UBT allocation. 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 the NYC UBT), but year-end CPA handoff is included free. Independent ProAdvisor firm — not affiliated with Intuit Inc.

Fixed-fee with written scope before any work begins. No hourly billing. Monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/mo; cleanup $1,500–$15,000+; catch-up $2,000–$20,000+; QB setup $750–$5,000+; migration $2,500–$10,000+; sales tax $250–$1,500+/mo; payroll $150–$800+/mo.

- 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 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, accounts, entities, payroll complexity, history depth — plus New York specifics like NYC sales-tax complexity and UBT allocation. 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 engagements — they run month to month.
- Does it include tax filing?
No. TechBrot delivers CPA-ready books; your CPA files your returns and the NYC UBT. Year-end CPA handoff included free in recurring engagements. We don't file returns or represent clients before tax authorities.
Three engagement shapes
Every New York 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.
Recurring
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, payroll, sales-tax compliance.
One-time
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, migration.
Coordinated
CPA-paired
We run the books; your CPA files. Scoped so the two fit cleanly — including NYC UBT-ready and sales-tax-ready books handed off at year-end.
For: businesses with an existing CPA who need the bookkeeping side.

Why fixed-fee
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 New York 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 New York specifics, from NYC sales tax to UBT-ready books. The fixed fee is a statement of competence: we know how long good work takes, so we can quote it.

Hourly billing penalizes you for the provider's inefficiency and makes invoices unpredictable. TechBrot fixes the fee against a written scope, so the total is known up front. Scope changes are re-quoted and re-approved in writing — never a surprise invoice.
Recurring work: transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll complexity, entities. Cleanup/catch-up: months or years involved, severity of issues. New York adds factors too — NYC sales-tax complexity, UBT allocation for partnerships. The discovery call surfaces these; the written scope reflects them.
Free, 30 minutes, no obligation. Written fixed-fee scope within 3 business days. No long-term lock-in on recurring engagements — they run month to month against the written scope.
No. TechBrot delivers operational accounting and CPA-ready books; your CPA or EA files your returns and the NYC UBT. Year-end CPA handoff is included free in recurring engagements. TechBrot does not file returns or represent clients before the tax authorities.
Sales-tax tracking is scoped as its own line ($250–$1,500+/mo) or built into monthly bookkeeping. We track destination-based NYC sales tax (8.875% in the city) and structure books so your CPA can file the 4% UBT — but the filing itself is your CPA's, billed separately.
No. Independent Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor firm. Active Intuit certifications, but not owned, employed, or operated by Intuit Inc. QuickBooks is a registered trademark of Intuit Inc.
