Start with a free initial 30-minute consultation to discuss your accounting needs.
01 / Three levels of support
A clear starting point. A scope that fits.
Start with the level of support you need. Monthly Books and Business Accounting show starting fees for the scopes below; Controller Support is quoted after a conversation about your needs.
01 / A straightforward foundation
Monthly Books
From
$750/month
For a straightforward, single-entity service business that needs clean, consistent monthly books.
Starting scope
Up to 3 bank/card accounts and 150 transactions per month. One entity, with clean cash-basis books.
The monthly foundation
Transaction categorization
Bank and card reconciliation
Monthly P&L and balance sheet
Year-end accountant handoff
No inventory or payment processing in this package.
Starting fees are scope-dependent. We price by transaction volume, accounts and complexity—not revenue alone.
More complex needs? Revenue recognition, inventory, multi-entity reporting and hands-on finance operations require an expanded custom quote.
02 / From the books to the bigger picture
The right information. At the right level.
The packages build from a monthly financial foundation to a fuller close and scoped oversight. The reporting should match the decisions you need to make.
Monthly Books
A consistent financial foundation.
Transaction categorization, reconciled bank and card accounts, and a monthly P&L and balance sheet, with a year-end accountant handoff.
Business Accounting
A more complete monthly close.
Appropriate accrual adjustments, supporting fixed-asset and loan schedules, AP/AR reconciliation and concise management commentary.
Controller Support
A forward-looking conversation.
Budget-to-actual reporting, a scoped cash-flow forecast and KPIs, brought together in a scheduled monthly review.
03 / Getting started
A sound start. No hidden assumptions.
Before the monthly routine begins, we review the condition of your books and the work involved. Onboarding and historical cleanup are distinct from the recurring engagement.
The starting onboarding fee is separate from your monthly package.
Historical cleanup
A separate project, quoted after inspecting the books.
Software subscriptions
Separately disclosed, so you know which software costs apply.
04 / Explicit scope. Clear boundaries.
Additional work. Priced deliberately.
Quoted separately
Tax preparation & planning
Payroll administration
Sales-tax filings
Bill pay & invoicing
1099 work
Complex inventory
Services can be combined on one monthly bill, with each scope priced explicitly.
01
Reconciliation is not execution.
Reconciling payables and receivables does not mean paying bills, sending invoices or chasing customers.
02
Complexity changes the scope.
Complex revenue recognition, inventory, multi-entity reporting and hands-on finance operations require a custom quote.
03
Review the fit as the business changes.
We review scope after 90 days and annually, and agree fee changes before extra work.
A few practical questions
Before we begin.
What does a starting price cover?+
The stated starting scope for that package. Monthly Books starts with up to 3 bank/card accounts and 150 transactions per month for one straightforward service entity with clean cash-basis books. Business Accounting starts with up to 5 accounts and 300 transactions per month for one entity with limited complexity. We confirm your actual volume and complexity before agreeing the scope and fee.
Does AP/AR reconciliation include bill pay or collections?+
No. Reconciliation is accounting work, not payment execution or customer follow-up. Bill pay and invoicing are separately quoted services; chasing customer payments is not included in the AP/AR reconciliation scope.
Can you work with my existing tax preparer?+
Yes. Monthly Books includes a year-end accountant handoff, and we can coordinate with your existing CPA where appropriate. Tax preparation and planning are separately scoped and quoted if you would like Boardroom to handle that work. Explore tax services →
Are onboarding, cleanup and software included?+
Onboarding starts at $1,000 and is separate from the monthly package. Historical cleanup is a separate project quoted after we inspect the books. Software subscriptions are separately disclosed.
What happens if my business outgrows the scope?+
We review scope after 90 days and annually. If volume, complexity or the work required changes, we agree fee changes before extra work. Controller Support is scoped oversight, not unlimited fractional-CFO access.
