How much does it cost?

​

Your initial consultation with Outsource Your Bookkeeping is FREE. We use this opportunity to get to know you and your business and diagnose your financial needs. We will also talk about what our relationship will look like and discuss the different packages that we offer, and which would be best suited for you.

 

The base minimum rate is $299 per month. The frequency of the services performed, the level of activity and the complexity of the account increases the base price. Payroll services are an additional fee based on the number of employees and the payroll schedule. Catch up/clean up projects are quoted at $75 hour, but will go to a monthly rate once the books are clean. In-house training and/or continuing support are billed at $100/hour. Have two companies? We give discounts for multiple entities.

 

How will hiring a bookkeeping service save my company money?

 

A bookkeeping service does not require benefits such as vacation, sick leave or holiday pay; your company does not have to pay the payroll taxes including workers compensation or unemployment on the service; there are no employee benefits like health insurance, and you don’t have to provide the office space or equipment. Additionally, when I am working on your account, my time is dedicated to you – not outside distractions to keep me from completing your work in a timely manner.

 

Do I need bookkeeping software?

 

I complete all of my work presently on Quickbooks Desktop. If you don’t have the software or use other software, we can work together on the best solution for you.

 

Where are the services provided?

​

I prefer to work on your account through my home office. However, evening and/or weekend services can be provided in your offices initially.

 

How do I get my documents to you?

​

If you are located in the Cheyenne area, we can make arrangements for me to pick up and return your documents after data entry. Depending on the services provided, we can also scan and email documents.

 

Will we meet on a regular basis?

​

I always suggest a weekly or meeting monthly in the beginning so that I may get to know you and your company's transactions. We can meet face to face at any time you have questions.

 

How will we correspond on a regular basis?

 

I prefer e-mail communication weekdays but will also accept text messages or phone calls during the day for Premier clients. Many times your questions can be answered immediately, but no more than 4 hours after your request. Additionally, I use Splashtop for remote access to a client’s Quickbooks file. If you need help formatting a report or looking up information, with your permission I can access your computer and walk you through it.

 

When can I expect my financial reports every month?

​

Our goal date is the 10th of each month for the prior month closing. Situations that can delay this process are open items, documents, and questions that are waiting to be received in order to finish up.

 

When will I be billed for services rendered and when will payments be due?

​

Presently I will bill each client via email at the end of the month and payment is due by the 10th of the following month. However for clean up, catch up or training/support, I will bill when the project is complete and payment is due within 10 days. I do only accept checks as payment at this time. However, if payment arrangements via ACH or credit card.

​

Is the bookkeeping service fee a tax-deductible expense?

 

Yes! While we help you become more efficient in your business processes, you get to write it off, saving you money in the long run and increasing your bottom line.

 

Do you provide tax preparation services?

 

I will work closely with your CPA, Accountant, Tax Preparer, etc., to ensure your financials are in order and help keep tax time stress free!
