Small Business Bookkeeping Services

We have put together a simple formula to help you figure that out:

b = because you hate numbers
a = and your time is worth more
y = why you hire a bookkeeper!

Did that formula hurt your head? Let’s look at it in real dollars with a real client:

Pat has a consulting business and charges $200 per hour. Pat spends 10 hours a month sending out client invoices, paying vendor bills, entering expenses and reconciling checking and credit card accounts. That means Pat spends $2,000 a month on her bookkeeping! Wow!
Pat would fit into our Plus package at $595 per month.

That means Pat could save $1,405 per month by hiring us.
