FAQs for Business Owners

What’s the difference between Bookkeeping and Accounting?

Bookkeeping is 1 role in the Accounting world. Here’s a quick overview of the different types:

Bookkeeper = That’s us! We reconcile & prepare monthly financial statements so you can run your business with smart, data driven decisions.

Accountant / CPA = They prepare your taxes, sales taxes, and perform tax planning based off the Bookkeeper’s Financials.

Payroll Provider = A website that can easily run your payroll, send employee checks, and autopay state taxes.

Fractional CFO = A consulting expert that performs cashflow analysis, forecasting, and budgeting based off the Bookkeeper’s Financials.

How does Pricing work?

BookkeepingPro offers two service types: Monthly Bookkeeping and One-Time projects.

For new clients, we require a Financial 360 before we begin either Monthly or One-time service. This allows both Client & Bookkeeper time to deep-dive and determine what really needs to be done, without cutting any corners, and truly fix your bookkeeping.

We do have a 90-day bookkeeping minimum for new clients, due to the upfront work required to onboard each new client. We don’t charge $1,000+ for onboarding like many companies do, just to “learn” your books. To keep this affordability, we ask for a minimum commitment.

We calculate your price based on number of bank accounts, transactions, industry type (some are complex), old or complex AR or AP ledgers, mixing personal & business expenses, or other difficult bookkeeping factors.

Why the Financial 360? My books are great already!

Believe us when we say this, but most bookkeepers are NOT up to par for maintaining your books. We don’t want to promise a monthly price without a Financial 360 upfront, and then find out after digging into the numbers that there are endless problems with your Quickbooks file, expenses were mixed, or statements haven’t been reconciled.

Get your Financial 360 done, get your file reviewed and diagnosed from top-to-bottom, and enjoy the peace of mind that everything has been cross-checked and that we have a plan to fix it moving forward.

Do you only service Quickbooks Online?

Yes, we pride ourselves on specializing in only Quickbooks Online (”QBO”). We’ve worked with so many businesses and have found QBO to be the best all-around choice right now. Enjoy the confidence in knowing that we do one thing, very, very well.

If you would like to migrate from another bookkeeping software, we’d be happy to perform a “1st-Time Set-up” for you!

You don’t offer monthly calls?

Usually calls are needed because you are confused or you have been left in the dark without updates regarding the status of your bookkeeping.

At BookkeepingPro, we do things differently! We pride ourselves on reply time, we care that our customers are happy and informed, and we make sure that all requests are handled promptly and accurately. Trust us and our other happy clients - you'll love our style and won't look back!

*Calls available upon special request - Professional hourly rate applicable at $150 per hour.

Can’t I do Quarterly instead of Monthly Bookkeeping?

It’s all about cadence. Just like lawn maintenance, we find it much more efficient and cost-effective to perform routine monthly clean-up (and even weekly which we pride ourselves in offering).

If you wait until once a quarter, it will turn into a stressful and dreaded quarterly task. You may not even remember half of the mystery transactions that we ask you about! Stick to monthly for a stress-free, smooth year of bookkeeping, and enjoy the peace of mind knowing your financials are available at your fingertips for quick decision-making.
