Use five non-sensitive facts to find the honest starting path. Current, simple files can match a published monthly plan. Behind or uncertain books start with a paid diagnosis. Complex files need an assessment before a price is promised.
Estimate your starting path
Five facts separate a published plan from a diagnostic or custom scope.
No name, email, tax ID, bank credential, document, or private client detail is required. The result is a starting-price estimate, not an engagement or final quote.
Published monthly plans assume
- Books are current and the starting balances are supportable
- One business entity
- No inventory accounting
- A straightforward monthly close
- No more than 350 monthly transactions
How the estimate routes
Condition and complexity come before transaction count.
Behind or uncertain
The $49 Books Health Check comes first. It identifies the largest bookkeeping risks and the right cleanup or monthly path before a subscription is sold.
Complex scope
Multiple entities, inventory, more than 350 transactions, or complex accounting route to an assessment because a transaction cap alone cannot price the work honestly.
What the monthly price covers
A recurring close, not every accounting task.
Published plans cover the agreed monthly bookkeeping workflow within their volume and scope limits. Reconciliations, transaction review, owner questions, and applicable reports are handled through the secure portal.
Setup, catch-up, payroll administration, bill pay, invoicing, collections, tax preparation, filing, sales-tax work, and unusual reporting are separate unless the signed scope includes them.
Price inputs that require review
- Number of bank, card, loan, and processor accounts
- Missing statements or unsupported opening balances
- Payroll, sales tax, loans, and owner activity
- Project, class, location, or department reporting
- Foreign currency, inventory, or multiple entities
- Cleanup periods before recurring work begins

Questions owners ask
Bookkeeping answers before you commit.
Is this a final bookkeeping quote?
No. The calculator identifies the appropriate starting path from non-sensitive facts. Final scope is confirmed before work begins.
Why do behind books route to a $49 review?
Transaction count cannot reveal missing periods, unreconciled balances, duplicate activity, or unsupported opening balances. The Books Health Check provides a written diagnosis before cleanup or monthly work is scoped.
What counts as complex bookkeeping?
Examples include multiple entities, inventory, project costing, deferred revenue, multi-currency activity, fund accounting, or more than 350 monthly transactions.
Can a current business buy a monthly plan directly?
Yes, when the file is current, one entity, has no inventory, uses a straightforward close, and fits the published transaction limit. Checkout begins onboarding and remains subject to scope acceptance.
Does the monthly price include tax filing or cleanup?
No. Cleanup, tax preparation, filing, payroll, sales tax, and other added work require separate confirmed scope.
Do I need QuickBooks to use the calculator?
No. The calculator uses file condition and complexity, not a required software brand. Software setup or migration may still require separate scope.

Published monthly prices apply to current, simple files within the stated transaction limits. The $49 review diagnoses behind or uncertain books. Complex work is priced only after assessment. Do not send financial records through a public form.
