Monthly Bookkeeping for QuickBooks Online

Your books handled every month. No catching up, no guessing, no stress. I categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and send you reports you can actually use. You get consistent bookkeeping without hiring someone full-time.

Is This a Fit?

Most businesses fall into the first two categories.

Yes, if you:

  • Already use QuickBooks Online with bank feeds connected
  • Have an active business with regular monthly activity
  • Want someone to maintain your books going forward
  • Need consistent reports for yourself or your CPA

Likely, if:

  • Your books are a little messy or inconsistent
  • You've been doing it yourself and want to hand it off
  • You need a one-time cleanup before starting monthly service

Probably not, if:

  • You need years of backlog fixed without cleanup first
  • You're only looking for payroll or tax filing
  • You don't use QuickBooks Online

How the Process Works

Simple, predictable, and handled with you.

  1. 1

    Free books review

    We look at your QuickBooks file together and talk about what's working and what isn't.

  2. 2

    Assess current state

    I'll let you know if your books can start monthly service right away, or if a cleanup is needed first.

  3. 3

    Cleanup (if needed)

    If there's a backlog or mess to fix, we handle that separately before monthly bookkeeping starts.

  4. 4

    Monthly service begins

    Books closed and reconciled by the 15th of each month. Reports sent. Repeat every month.

About Cleanup

Some businesses need a one-time cleanup before monthly bookkeeping can start.

Why cleanup happens

Some businesses need a one-time cleanup before monthly bookkeeping can start.

What triggers it

This happens when there are months of unreconciled accounts, uncategorized transactions, or duplicate entries that need to be fixed first.

How it's priced

Cleanup is priced separately and happens once. After that, monthly bookkeeping keeps everything current.

When you'll know

If your books need cleanup, I'll tell you during the review call. No surprises.

Pricing Expectations

Monthly bookkeeping typically starts at $300/month.

Clear, predictable pricingwith no surprises.

Most businesses pay between $300 and $800/month depending on transaction volume and account complexity.

Final pricing is determined after reviewing your books. You’ll know the exact monthly cost before committing.

Complexity Factors

  • Number of connected bank and credit card accounts
  • Monthly transaction volume
  • Whether you use multiple entities or classes
  • Inventory tracking or job costing
