Maximize Your Budget with Transparent Pricing
No Inflationary “Tiers”
Unlike competitors who charge based on your “monthly expenses,” we bill based on actual labor. We don’t penalize you for having high revenue; we only charge for the time it takes to manage your books.
Pay Only for Extra Growth
Your plan minimum covers a set amount of hours. If you go over, you simply pay for the extra time at $15/hr, rather than being forced into an expensive ‘Growth’ tier that costs hundreds more.
100% Money-Back Guarantee
We are confident in our 21 years of authority. We offer an unconditional full refund on your first deposit if you are not satisfied with our service quality within the first 30 days.
10% Price-Match Guarantee
Show us a lower comparable quote from any US-based bookkeeping service provider, and we will beat their monthly package minimums by 10%.

Pricing & Plan FAQs
What’s the difference between your Bookkeeping plan, Controller, and CFO services?
The Bookkeeper enters daily transactions and reconciles accounts. The Fractional Controller owns the monthly close — producing GAAP-compliant financial statements, variance analysis, and internal-controls review. The Fractional CFO works at the strategic layer — cash flow forecasting, KPI dashboards, and quarterly business reviews. Each role has a separate monthly retainer; the Full Accounting Department bundle combines all three for $2,000/month.
Can Maxim Liberty replace my entire in-house accounting department?
Yes. The Full Accounting Department bundle ($2,000/month) delivers the equivalent of a Bookkeeper + Controller + CFO in-house team — at a fraction of the $200,000+/year cost of hiring those roles directly. Includes 60 hours/month across all three layers, with month-to-month flexibility and no setup fees.
Are your Controller and CFO services performed by US-licensed CPAs?
No. Maxim Liberty’s Fractional Controller and CFO services focus on operational finance — month-end close, variance analysis, cash flow forecasting, KPI dashboards, and management reporting. We do not perform CPA-signed audit, attest, or US tax-return work (which legally requires a US-licensed CPA). For those services, we partner alongside your existing CPA firm or recommend one.
Can I use one $75 plan for multiple business entities?
No. Our standard Business plans (Standard / Premium / Enterprise) each cover a single business entity for audit-ready accuracy. For CPA firms or accounting professionals managing multiple end clients, our $300/mo Wholesale Bookkeeping Plan covers up to 30 hours across UNLIMITED entities at $10/hour — designed for white-label multi-entity bookkeeping.

What if my books only take 1 or 2 hours a month?
The monthly fee listed for your plan (e.g., $75 for Standard) is our minimum service retainer per entity. This covers the administrative cost of maintaining your assigned professional bookkeeper and supervisor, secure data hosting, and monthly availability.
How does the $900 deposit work?
Your deposit acts as a credit. Each month, your actual time worked (subject to your plan’s monthly minimum) is deducted from this balance. We only request a top-up once your balance runs low. There are no monthly auto-renewals on your credit card.
Are there any hidden setup or onboarding fees?
No. Professional setup of your chart of accounts and initial software integration is included at no additional cost. You only pay for the expert time spent managing your financials.
