Bookkeeping Pricing FAQs – What It Really Costs (and What You Get)

When it comes to bookkeeping, one of the first questions business owners ask is: “How much does it cost?” The answer depends on a few key factors – and understanding those can help you avoid overpaying or underscoping your needs.

Here’s a breakdown of the most common bookkeeping pricing questions we get at Remote Books Online, along with honest answers to help you make the best decision for your business.

 How Much Does Bookkeeping Typically Cost?

Most small businesses pay between $150 to $500/month for professional bookkeeping services. This varies depending on:

  • Monthly transaction volume
  • Number of bank/credit card accounts
  • Payroll integration needs
  • Catch-up or cleanup required

Our plans at Remote Books Online start at just $150/month – ideal for businesses with fewer than 100 monthly transactions.

What’s Included in That Price?

Professional bookkeeping usually includes:

  • Categorizing income and expenses
  • Bank and credit card reconciliations
  • Monthly profit & loss and balance sheet reports
  • QuickBooks or Xero integration
  • CPA-ready books for tax time

Additional services like sales tax filing or payroll coordination may cost extra.

What About Catch-Up Bookkeeping Costs?

If your quickbooks cleanup, expect a one-time cleanup fee. At Remote Books Online, this fee is based on how many months of books need fixing. We’ll give you a clear quote before we start.

Hourly vs. Monthly Pricing?

Hourly bookkeepers can charge $30-$80/hour, but this can get expensive and unpredictable. Flat monthly pricing gives you more value and cost control – especially with remote services.
