In this guide, we’ll break down what’s typically included in a sub-$150/month plan, what’s not, and how to decide if it’s the right fit for your business.

Is $150/Month Enough for Quality Bookkeeping?

Yes – for many freelancers, contractors, and small businesses with simple financial needs, $150/month covers the basics:

• Categorizing income and expenses
• Monthly reconciliation of bank and credit card accounts
• Access to profit & loss statements and balance sheets
• Email or portal-based communication
• Support for QuickBooks or Xero

These services are ideal for businesses with up to 100–150 transactions per month and 1–2 accounts.

What’s Usually Not Included at This Price Point

While you’ll get core bookkeeping tasks, plans under $150/month may exclude:

• Payroll processing
• Bill pay or invoicing
• Complex sales tax tracking
• Advanced reporting or forecasting
• In-person meetings or custom dashboards

If you need these services, many providers offer add-ons or tiered plans at higher rates.

Who Is This Right For?

Plans under $150/month are a good fit for:

• Freelancers and solo consultants
• Side businesses or gig workers
• Service-based businesses with simple billing
• Startups in early stages
• Businesses that need compliance, not complexity

If your business is growing fast or includes inventory, payroll, or multiple locations, expect to pay more.

What to Look for in a Low-Cost Provider

• Flat monthly pricing
• CPA-ready financial statements
• Secure document handling
• Onboarding assistance
• Catch-up options if your books aren’t current
• Clear scope of work with no hidden fees
