Talk to a Bookkeeping Expert TodayFrequently Asked Questions
What is considered affordable bookkeeping?
Affordable bookkeeping is bookkeeping that’s both high-quality and cost-effective — typically under $400/month for small to medium-sized businesses, with no hidden fees or hourly surprises.
How much does RemoteBooksOnline charge for bookkeeping?
Pricing starts at $150/month and varies based on your business size, transaction volume, and reporting needs. Every plan includes CPA review.
Is RemoteBooksOnline cheaper than hiring a local bookkeeper?
Yes. Traditional bookkeepers often charge $50–$80/hour, while we offer flat monthly pricing that includes a full bookkeeping team and CPA review — no hourly billing.
Are there any setup or onboarding fees?
No. We don’t charge for onboarding. Your first month is free, and we’ll walk you through setup with no hidden costs.
Are there long-term contracts or cancellation fees?
No. We operate on a month-to-month basis. You can pause, upgrade, or cancel at any time without penalty.
Do lower-cost bookkeeping services cut corners?
Not with RemoteBooksOnline. Even at a lower cost, we deliver CPA-reviewed financials, dedicated support, and reliable monthly reporting. You get enterprise-quality service at small business pricing.
How do I know if I’m overpaying for bookkeeping?
If you’re paying hourly, handling some of the work yourself, or not receiving regular reports, you’re likely overpaying for inconsistent results.
What’s included in your flat-rate bookkeeping plans?
All plans include categorization, bank/credit card reconciliation, monthly reports (P&L, balance sheet), CPA review, and support via phone or email.
What makes RemoteBooksOnline more affordable than competitors?
We’ve optimized our systems and staffing to deliver consistent, high-quality bookkeeping at scale. That allows us to pass the savings on to our clients.
Do you offer discounts for volume or partners?
Yes. CPA firms and businesses with multiple entities can qualify for discounted rates through our white-label or bulk plans.
