Ledgerbrook / Pricing

Pricing

Every offer we run, with the price we actually charge and what it delivers, per client file. Nothing on this site sits behind a form, and there's no partner rate to haggle over. The number below is the number your firm pays, and whatever you bill your own client on top is yours to keep.

One rate

Why there's no volume discount

Every figure below is flat, per client file, whether you send us one or fifteen. The work on a file doesn't get easier just because more files arrive with it, and a rate that quietly drops at some threshold was probably set too high to begin with.

Ten or more files is a different conversation, and it's a scheduling one before it's a pricing one. Have a look at ten or more files, the last group in the schedule.

Offers

Every offer, and what it includes

Seven engagements, grouped by how each one is priced, because that's the difference that matters before the figure does. Cleanup and catch-up are priced per month of backlog. A client file with three uncategorized months costs less to fix than one with eighteen, and you should know that before you commit, not after. Monthly close is the only recurring one, priced by transaction volume. File setup and the handoff pack are one-time per client file, whatever the backlog looks like.

Every offer below lists what you actually get, not just what it costs. Where an offer has bands (catch-up has two, monthly close has three) we spell out the condition that picks each one, so you can place a file yourself before we do.

Start here

Free, and it comes before any figure is quoted. Nothing else on this page gets priced until this has told us what the file actually needs. Email omkarmoraye5@gmail.com and you'll have a written answer inside 48 hours.

File Review

Free one-time

Send us one client file and we'll read it properly, then write back inside 48 hours: what's wrong, how many months it touches, and what it takes to put right. The report is yours whether or not you send us the work.

What's included

  • A month-by-month count of what needs correcting or entering, so the scope is a number you can check, not an impression.
  • Which offer applies (cleanup, catch-up, or neither), in writing, before we quote you a fee.
  • Accountant-level read access and nothing else. No card, no admin rights, and you can revoke it from inside QuickBooks at any time without asking us.
  • The written report either way , including if you take it to someone else or keep the work in-house.

Backlog work, priced per month of backlog

One-time engagements whose size the file decides, not the calendar. A month only counts if it needs work before it can be trusted, and the file review gives you that count first.

Fix months that are wrong

Cleanup

$199 per month of backlog

Periods that exist in QuickBooks but can't be trusted: miscategorized, unreconciled, duplicated. Priced per month of backlog that needs correcting, so a four-month problem never pays for a fourteen-month one.

What's included

  • Every flagged month re-categorized to the file's actual chart of accounts, with draws, owner contributions and loan paydowns booked where they belong instead of into expenses.
  • Bank and card accounts reconciled to the statement balance for each month in scope, with the reconciliation report saved against that month.
  • Duplicate transactions removed : we keep the version matching the bank feed and delete the manual copy instead of hiding it.
  • A written summary of what was wrong and what changed, month by month, so the corrections can be traced later.

Catch-Up

$249 to $349 per month of backlog

Months with nothing in them at all, rebuilt from the bank feed and source documents. Priced per month of backlog whether that's six months or three years. We work the months in parallel, so it never takes three years to fix three years.

The bands

  • Standard

    A straightforward service business, with no inventory, job costing or trust accounting.

    $249
  • Inventory, trades or real estate

    Inventory costing, job costing, or trust accounting layered into the same backlog work.

    $349

What's included

  • Every missing month entered from the bank feed and source documents, categorized to the actual chart of accounts.
  • Every account reconciled to the statement balance for each month brought current, starting from the last known good balance if one exists.
  • One open-items list of anything we can't classify without an answer, sent as a single batch instead of a drip of one-off questions.
  • A closing trial balance for the period, ready to hand to a tax preparer or a lender the day it's finished.

One-time, priced per client file

Fixed work with a fixed shape. However big the backlog is, these cost what they cost.

Start the file right

New File Setup

$299 one-time

A new QuickBooks Online company built correctly from the start, instead of one that inherits the habits of the file it replaces. It's also the second half of a move off QuickBooks Desktop, where the historical data is priced as cleanup.

What's included

  • A chart of accounts built and mapped from the file it replaces, so prior-year comparisons still line up.
  • Bank and card feeds connected with the categorization rules that stop the feed filling up with uncategorized entries again.
  • A reporting structure set up , with class or location tracking where the business actually reports that way.

Hand the year to the preparer, once

CPA Handoff Pack

$299 per client, one-time

One client, one year, delivered comfortably ahead of your filing deadline. Built so you can review it once and sign off, with every judgment call listed for you rather than made on your behalf.

What's included

  • Every transaction for the year categorized to the client's actual chart of accounts.
  • Every bank and card account reconciled to its statement, month by month.
  • Judgment calls flagged, not posted : depreciation schedules, book-to-tax differences, anything touching the return itself stays yours.
  • A trial balance delivered as a working paper, ready to drop straight into the return.

More on the handoff pack

Ongoing, priced per month

The only recurring commitment on this page. It starts once the file is clean or caught up. Running a monthly cadence on top of an unreconciled balance just produces a close that's wrong the same way every month, and neither of us wants that.

Keep it clean, every month

Monthly Close

$199 to $399 per month

Closed by the 5th business day, every month, so the client's file is never more than a few days out of date. Priced by transaction volume instead of by the hour, so the fee doesn't move because a month was busy.

The bands

  • Tier 1

    One bank or card account, roughly 75 transactions a month or fewer.

    $199
  • Tier 2

    Multiple accounts, up to roughly 200 transactions a month, class or location tracking.

    $299
  • Tier 3

    200+ transactions a month, multiple entities, locations, or job costing.

    $399

What's included

  • Every bank-feed transaction reviewed by a person and posted to the chart of accounts, not left to a rule nobody checked.
  • Every bank and card account reconciled to its statement before the month is called closed.
  • Profit and loss, balance sheet and reconciliation reports by the 5th business day, with a short written note on anything that moved unusually from the prior month.
  • Payroll entries, loan amortization and accruals included wherever they apply, and never billed as a surprise add-on mid-year.

More on monthly bookkeeping

Ten or more files

Still every rate above, unchanged. What we quote at this size is the schedule, not a discount.

Send a roster, not a file at a time

Bulk, 10+ clients

Contact us 10 or more client files

A standing arrangement instead of a referral at a time. At that size, scheduling and capacity matter more than price, so we quote this one against your actual client list and your filing deadlines.

What's included

  • The same published per-file rates as every offer above. No volume tier quietly reprices a file once you've committed.
  • A scheduled delivery date per file agreed as a batch against your filing deadlines, instead of an open-ended queue.
  • A straight answer on capacity before you commit a client, including “not by that date”, which is the answer a subcontractor is most tempted to avoid giving.

Which offer

What's the difference between cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping?

Cleanup fixes months that exist in QuickBooks but are wrong: miscategorized, unreconciled, duplicated. Catch-up fixes months that were never entered at all. Most files need one or the other, not both, and the free file review tells you which before we quote either.

A file that's been touched every month but sloppily is a cleanup: categories wrong, duplicates in the bank feed, nothing reconciled since some specific date. A file with entire months showing a zero balance because nothing was ever entered is a catch-up. Plenty of files are both, with current months cleaned up and older ones caught up. The cleanup and catch-up pages each go into what that looks like in practice.

Access

Do I have to give my bookkeeper admin access to QuickBooks?

No, and you shouldn't have to. We ask to be added as an accountant user inside the client's QuickBooks company, which is enough to categorize, reconcile and run reports. It hands over no billing, no subscription control and no ability to delete the company file, and you can revoke it from the client's own user list any time without asking us.

How backlog is counted

How is a "month of backlog" counted?

A month counts as backlog if it needs work before it can be trusted: categorized, reconciled to the bank, or entered from scratch. A month that's already accurate doesn't count, even if it sits between two that do. We put the exact count in writing before quoting you anything, so the number on your invoice traces back to specific months instead of a guess.

Catch-up's two bands above cover most files. The higher one applies when the backlog includes inventory costing, job costing for a trades business, or trust accounting for real estate. Those genuinely take longer per month than a straightforward service business, so the per-month price says so up front instead of arriving as extra hours after the fact.

Worth it

Is catch-up bookkeeping worth it if I'm three years behind?

Usually yes. Three years behind is roughly 36 months of backlog, priced per month instead of as one alarming project fee, and most of that work happens in parallel once source documents are in hand. It never takes three years to fix three years. The real cost of staying behind is usually bigger than the invoice: a lender or buyer who won't move on unreconciled books, or a return filed on guesses.

The one exception is a file so old that the source records no longer exist anywhere: bank statements, receipts, prior returns. We flag that in the first 48 hours, before quoting any per-month price, so you're never billed to reconstruct what can't be reconstructed.

Rate changes

What happens if these prices change

Every figure above is a standing rate, not a promotion. There's no countdown, no introductory period and no cap after which it climbs. If a rate does change, a firm already engaged stays at the rate it agreed for the work it agreed to, and the new price applies to new work only. Nothing here is priced to be renegotiated upward later.
