Bookkeeping-focused engagements: transaction coding, bank reconciliation, month-end close, AP coordination, AR tracking. For businesses that want dedicated bookkeepers but don't yet need full-stack controller-level accounting. $1,400–$2,800/month for typical engagements.
Scope
Outsourced bookkeeping pricing varies based on transaction volume, complexity, and included scope. Typical ranges:
| Business size | Monthly bookkeeping cost | Typical bookkeeper time |
|---|---|---|
| Solo / very small (under $500k revenue) | $700–$1,400/mo | 15–30 hrs/mo |
| Small ($500k–$2M revenue) | $1,400–$2,200/mo | 30–60 hrs/mo |
| Mid-small ($2M–$10M revenue) | $2,200–$3,200/mo | 60–120 hrs/mo |
| Mid-size ($10M–$50M revenue) | $3,200–$5,500/mo | Dedicated seat + part-time senior |
| Dedicated full-time senior bookkeeper | $2,200–$3,200/mo | Full-time equivalent |
Outsourced bookkeeping works well for businesses that need: clean books delivered monthly, standard reconciliation, basic AP/AR coordination, year-end tax prep package. Businesses that need more than this – management dashboards, controller-level oversight, CFO strategic input, complex revenue recognition – are better served by our broader outsourced accounting services or a controller engagement.
At those points, moving from bookkeeping-only to full-stack outsourced accounting or adding controller oversight makes sense. For the full scope see outsourced accounting services; for controller-level engagement see offshore controller.
