Pricing · Fixed-fee, written scope
Fixed-fee pricing. Written scope before any work.
Most firms hide pricing and bill by the hour. TechBrot does the opposite: every engagement is a fixed fee against a written scope, agreed before work begins. Here are the real ranges across every service — your exact fixed fee is quoted in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call.
Always: fixed-fee · written scope before work begins · no hourly billing · free 30-minute discovery call · written quote within 3 business days · no long-term lock-in on recurring engagements.

TechBrot pricing, in five questions.
How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
$400–$2,500+/month, as a fixed monthly fee against a written scope — no hourly billing. Where you land depends on transaction volume, number of bank and credit accounts, payroll, and entities. Your exact fee is quoted in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call.
What does a QuickBooks cleanup or catch-up cost?
Cleanup runs $1,500–$15,000+ and catch-up $2,000–$20,000+, as one-time fixed-fee projects. The figure reflects how many months or years are involved and the severity of the issues — cleanup is forensic work, priced for untangling, not data entry.
How much is QuickBooks setup or migration?
Setup is $750–$5,000+ (new implementation, 2–4 weeks); Desktop→Online migration is $2,500–$10,000+ (3–8 weeks). Both are one-time fixed-fee projects scoped against file complexity, integrations, and platform.
How fast do I get a fixed-fee quote?
Within 3 business days of a free 30-minute discovery call. The call is no-obligation; the quote is a written fixed-fee scope — the exact number, in writing, before you commit to anything.
What is included in every TechBrot fixed fee?
Six things, every engagement: the free discovery call, the written fixed-fee scope, Certified ProAdvisor delivery, named-operator continuity, direct access to your own QuickBooks file, and a year-end CPA-ready handoff (free on recurring engagements).
How TechBrot pricing works.
Every TechBrot engagement is fixed-fee with a written scope agreed before any work begins — no hourly billing. Real ranges: monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/month, cleanup $1,500–$15,000+, catch-up $2,000–$20,000+, QuickBooks setup $750–$5,000+, migration $2,500–$10,000+, payroll $150–$800+/month, sales tax compliance $250–$1,500+/month, and fractional CFO $3,000–$8,000+/month (by application). Where you land depends on real factors — transaction volume, number of accounts and entities, history depth, file complexity. 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 handles that), but a year-end CPA handoff is included free.

Every engagement fits one of three shapes.
However the work is priced, it takes one of three forms — so you know what you’re committing to before the discovery call.
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, fractional CFO.
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, emergency fixes.
Senior retainer
Senior strategic engagements accepted by application with limited capacity per quarter. Scoped to the depth of involvement the business needs.
For: Fractional CFO, complex multi-entity advisory.
Every service, every range.

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 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 only works because the work is delivered by Certified ProAdvisors efficient enough to price confidently. 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.
Six things in every engagement, whatever the service or the number.
Free discovery call
A 30-minute call before anything is quoted. Free, no obligation, no sales push.
Written fixed-fee scope
Within 3 business days of the call. The scope is the agreement — no hourly billing, no creep.
Certified ProAdvisor delivery
Delivered by a Certified Intuit ProAdvisor — Intuit’s public ProAdvisor directory lists active ProAdvisors for verification.
Named-operator continuity
A named ProAdvisor owns your account end-to-end. No rotation, no re-explaining.
Direct file access
We work inside your own QuickBooks file. Your data, your audit trail, never a parallel system.
CPA-ready handoff
Recurring engagements include a year-end CPA handoff at no extra cost.
