Bookkeeping for accounting firms has to meet the highest quality standards. If you’re like most accountants, you have many clients and spend a lot of time on bookkeeping. For accounting firms, bookkeeping services are particularly important because they allow the firm to focus on higher-level financial analysis and strategy, while also providing clients with a reliable source of financial information.
There are many software solutions for automating basic accounting functions, but these programs often require time to learn and update. If you want to focus more on higher-value work— such as providing financial planning advice or tax advice —it makes sense to Outsource your Bookkeeping.
While we provide Bookkeeping services to both accounting firms and small businesses, Bookkeeping for accounting firms which includes CPAs and bookkeeping firms represents about 70% of our revenue. Needless to say, accounting firms and their CPAs are critical to our success. Further, accountants are rigorous about the quality of Bookkeeping. They can easily identify a poor set of books. So, they help us continuously improve the quality of our services which helps build best practices that benefit all our clients. Our success with accountants serves is proof for the quality of our services.
What’s special about Bookkeeping for CPAs & accountants?
CPAs and accountants service many clients. So, our typical plan that charges a fee on a per client basis will not work. So, we have a special Bookkeeping pricing plan just for CPAs that allows them to roll all their clients into a single plan. While we have the lowest Bookkeeping Rates at just $10 per hour for small businesses, our hourly rate for CPAs is even lower at only $7.50 per hour. That’s less than 1/5th the rate charged by a typical in-house Bookkeeper. Our low rates allow a CPA to compete better, focus on what they do best and grow their business.
We are serious about our services for CPAs. We offer the following key benefits.
Roll all your clients into one plan
As long as you do not need active Bookkeeping, we don’t charge CPAs on a per client basis for each of their clients. You can roll all your clients into a single plan. And our plans start at only $225 per month for up to 30 hours. You can add as many clients as you want to the same plan.
