Monthly bookkeeping pricing, in five questions.

How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?

$400–$2,500+ per month, as a fixed monthly fee against a written scope — no hourly billing. Your exact fee is quoted in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call.

What are the monthly bookkeeping tiers?

Three: Essentials $400–$700/mo, Standard $700–$1,400/mo, and Complex $1,400–$2,500+/mo. The deliverables are the same at every tier — what changes is volume, accounts, payroll, and entities.

What decides which bookkeeping tier I’m in?

Four factors: monthly transaction volume, the number of bank and credit-card accounts reconciled, whether payroll is in scope, and the number of legal entities (each entity is its own file and close).

How fast do I get a fixed-fee bookkeeping quote?

Within 3 business days of a free 30-minute discovery call. The call is no-obligation; the quote is a written fixed monthly fee — the exact number before you commit.

What does the monthly bookkeeping fee include?

Every tier includes monthly reconciliation of all in-scope accounts, transaction categorization, monthly financial statements, a named-operator close, unlimited questions with no hourly meter, and a free year-end CPA-ready handoff. Tax filing is your CPA’s scope.

§In one paragraph

What monthly bookkeeping costs.

Monthly bookkeeping at TechBrot is $400–$2,500+ per month, billed as a fixed monthly fee against a written scope — no hourly billing. There are three tiers: Essentials $400–$700/mo for low-volume single-entity businesses, Standard $700–$1,400/mo for established businesses with payroll and multiple accounts, and Complex $1,400–$2,500+/mo for higher volume, multiple entities, or class/department tracking. Four factors set your tier: monthly transaction volume, the number of bank and credit-card accounts reconciled, whether payroll is in scope, and the number of legal entities. It is always a range — your exact fixed fee is quoted in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call. Tax filing isn’t included (your CPA handles that), but a year-end CPA handoff is included free on every recurring engagement.

§What sets your tier

Four factors move the number.

STEP 1

Transaction volume

per month

STEP 2

Bank & card accounts

how many to reconcile

STEP 3

Payroll

in scope or not

STEP 4

Number of entities

one file per entity

These four factors are what the free discovery call surfaces — nothing about your industry or revenue alone sets the price. The written scope reflects exactly where you land.

§The three tiers

Where monthly bookkeeping lands.

The same fixed-fee model at every tier — what changes is volume, accounts, payroll, and entities. These are the canonical ranges; your exact fee is quoted in writing.

Tier 1 · Recurring

Essentials

$400–$700/mo

Low monthly transaction volume, a single legal entity, and a small number of bank and credit-card accounts. No payroll, or a single simple payroll run handled elsewhere.

Typical profile: A solo or small single-entity business — one operating account, one card, modest volume, books kept current month to month.

Tier 3 · Recurring

Complex

$1,400–$2,500+/mo

High transaction volume, many accounts, multi-state or multi-run payroll, and/or more than one legal entity — each entity is its own file and close. Class, location, or department tracking that has to tie out.

Typical profile: A multi-entity group or higher-volume operation — several files, inter-entity activity, and reporting that has to consolidate cleanly.

Representative profiles only — they illustrate the factors, not a guaranteed quote. Behind on the books before a recurring engagement can start? That’s a one-time cleanup or catch-up, priced separately.

§What’s included

What every monthly tier includes.

The recurring close work in every tier. Higher tiers do more of it, across more accounts and entities — the deliverables themselves don’t change.

Bank & card reconciliation

Every bank and credit-card account in scope reconciled monthly — the count of accounts is one of the four things that sets your tier.

Transaction categorization

Every transaction coded to a maintained chart of accounts inside your own QuickBooks file — never a parallel system.

Monthly financial statements

P&L, balance sheet, and cash-flow delivered on a fixed monthly cadence, in a format your stakeholders can read.

Named-operator continuity

A named Certified ProAdvisor owns your close end-to-end. No rotation, no re-explaining your books each month.

Questions, no meter

Ask anything within the engagement — the fixed monthly fee means there’s no hourly clock on your own bookkeeper.

Year-end CPA handoff

Recurring bookkeeping includes a clean, year-end CPA-ready handoff at no extra cost. Tax filing itself is your CPA’s scope, not ours.

What the bookkeeping work actually is — the monthly close in detail — lives on the monthly bookkeeping service page. This page is the price; that page is the work.

§Why fixed-fee

Why monthly bookkeeping is fixed-fee, not hourly.

Most bookkeepers bill hourly, and for recurring monthly work that is exactly backwards. The monthly close is the same shape every month — the same reconciliations, the same categorization, the same reports. Pricing predictable work by the hour just means your invoice swings with someone else’s pace, and you can’t budget the one line item that should be the most stable on your books.

TechBrot prices monthly bookkeeping as a fixed monthly fee against a written scope. You know the number before the first close, and it doesn’t move month to month. Ask questions, send documents, call when something comes up — there’s no meter on your own bookkeeper. If your business genuinely changes — you add an entity, take on payroll, your volume jumps a tier — the fee is re-quoted and re-approved in writing before anything changes. You are never surprised by an invoice.

This works because the close is delivered by Certified ProAdvisors efficient enough to price it confidently. The fixed monthly fee is a statement of competence: we know how long a clean monthly close takes at your volume, so we can quote it. No long-term lock-in — recurring bookkeeping runs month to month against the written scope.

Questions about bookkeeping cost.

How much does monthly bookkeeping cost?
Monthly bookkeeping runs $400–$2,500+ per month as a fixed monthly fee against a written scope — no hourly billing. It falls into three tiers: Essentials $400–$700/mo, Standard $700–$1,400/mo, and Complex $1,400–$2,500+/mo. It is always a range; your exact fixed fee is quoted in writing within 3 business days of a free discovery call.
What moves me from one tier to the next?
Four factors: monthly transaction volume, the number of bank and credit-card accounts reconciled, whether payroll is in scope, and the number of legal entities — each entity is its own file and close. The free discovery call surfaces these, and the written scope reflects exactly where you land. Your industry or revenue alone doesn’t set the price.
Why isn’t bookkeeping billed by the hour?
The monthly close is the same shape every month, so hourly billing just makes the most predictable line on your books swing with someone else’s pace. TechBrot prices it as a fixed monthly fee against a written scope — you know the number before the first close and it doesn’t move month to month. If your business genuinely changes the fee is re-quoted and re-approved in writing first.
Can I get an exact price without a call?
No — and any firm that quotes a single bookkeeping price sight-unseen is guessing. The published figures are real canonical ranges, but your exact tier depends on your volume, accounts, payroll, and entities. The 30-minute discovery call is free and no-obligation — call (877) 751-5575 — and your exact fixed fee follows in writing within 3 business days.
Does the monthly fee include tax filing?
No. The monthly bookkeeping fee covers operational accounting and CPA-ready books; tax filing and IRS representation are handled by your CPA or EA and are not part of TechBrot’s scope. Recurring bookkeeping does include a year-end CPA-ready handoff at no extra cost.
What if my books are behind before I start?
Getting current is one-time work, priced separately from the recurring monthly fee — that’s a cleanup or catch-up engagement, quoted on its own written scope. Once the books are current, the recurring monthly tier takes over. See the cleanup pricing page for those ranges.
Is there a long-term contract?
No long-term lock-in. Recurring monthly bookkeeping runs month to month against the written scope and can be ended on the agreement’s terms. The fixed monthly fee is the agreement — there’s no hourly billing and no surprise invoices.
Is TechBrot affiliated with Intuit Inc.?
No. TechBrot Inc. is an independent Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor firm. We hold active Intuit certifications and work inside QuickBooks, but TechBrot is not owned, employed, or operated by Intuit. QuickBooks and Intuit are registered trademarks of Intuit Inc.
