Here's our entire package table with real ranges — illustrative for this sample site — so you can rule us in or out without booking a discovery call.

New clients start with a fixed-price diagnostic: we read your file, list what needs fixing, and quote the cleanup and your monthly plan in writing. Catch-up bookkeeping runs $250 – $450 per month of backlog. No meter, no surprises.
One-time, from $1,500 — quoted before any work starts
05 · The stance
The hourly invoice is the reason owners don't call their accountant until the problem is expensive. We got rid of it, kept the receipts, and never looked back.
01
The moment advice has a meter on it, owners stop asking questions — and the expensive mistakes happen in the silence. Flat pricing means the call is already paid for.
02
An hourly firm earns more when the job takes longer. A flat-fee firm earns more by building systems that make the work faster and cleaner. We prefer the second incentive.
03
Your rent is fixed, your software is fixed, your insurance is fixed. Your accountant shouldn't be the one line item that shows up different every month.
04
When your business grows and the work genuinely changes, we re-quote the plan — in advance, in writing, effective next month. Never retroactively.

Three questions — business stage, revenue, what hurts — and you'll get a recommendation with a real range, not the most expensive thing we sell.
