Trades pricing

A fair, flat fee,
built from your real numbers.

No two trades businesses are alike. A solo pool tech and a fifteen-person electrical crew are both "trades," but the bookkeeping behind them is worlds apart. So I do not drop you into a size tier and hope it fits. I price the actual work, then hand you one flat monthly number you can plan around. No hourly billing, no surprise invoice when a month runs busy.

Each figure is a starting point, not a fixed rate. Fees include bundled QuickBooks, and your plan is quoted after I review two or three months of your books, so the number that fits you is set on our call.

The process

How we create your quote

1

We look at your real activity

Bring two or three months of bank and card statements. I count what is actually there, so your quote comes from your real business, not a rough estimate.

2

We match the work to a fee

Each service maps to something measurable, so the price reflects the true workload rather than a label on the door.

3

We present it flat

You see one monthly number and a short menu of packages to choose from. Simple to understand, simple to budget.

Transparency

What actually sets your price

Every service maps to something we can measure. This is the whole method in one table. Nothing is hidden, and nothing is arbitrary.

Categorizing your expensesThe number of transactions each month
Sending invoicesHow many invoices you issue
Recording customer paymentsHow many payments come in
Reconciling accountsHow many bank and card accounts you run
ReportingWhether you want it monthly or quarterly
Job or service profitabilityHow many projects or service lines you track
Time trackingHow many field employees are tracked
PayrollHow often you run it, and your headcount
Estimated and quarterly taxesHow many filings each quarter
Sales and use taxHow many filings each period

Transaction volume does most of the work. The count of bank and card transactions is the single strongest signal of how much bookkeeping a business needs, so it sits at the center of every quote.

Fair by design

How we keep it fair

  • Flat and predictable. Never billed by the hour, never surprised by a busy month.
  • Cleanup is separate, quoted up front. Catch-up work is priced once, before we begin. No hidden charges.
  • We revisit the fee only if your volume really changes. And we talk it through first. No silent increases.
  • Bring your own software, or bundle ours. Keep your QuickBooks, or add it at a discounted rate.
  • Tight budget? We adjust scope, not quality. I hand a service back rather than cut corners on the work we keep.

Let's put real numbers to it.

Fifteen minutes with your actual statements and we will land on a fair, flat fee you can count on.
