How our pricing works.
One fixed monthly fee, scoped to your business on a 30-minute call. We don’t publish packages, because the same three services cost very different amounts depending on what’s behind them — and quoting you off a menu would be guessing.
Scope first. Then a number that doesn't move.
We scope it properly
Thirty minutes on how your business actually runs — transaction volume, how many accounts, how far behind, what's messy.
You get one fixed fee
Monthly, covering everything we agreed. Not hourly, so asking us a question never costs you anything.
It changes when scope changes
And only then — discussed before it happens, never as a surprise on an invoice.
Four things, mostly.
Volume
Transactions, accounts, employees. A hundred transactions a month is a different job from two thousand.
Complexity
Multiple entities, currencies, provinces or revenue streams all add real work.
Which services
Bookkeeping alone sits at one end. Bookkeeping, payroll, payables, invoicing and tax sits at the other.
Where you're starting
Two years behind is a clean-up project before it's a monthly service. That's quoted separately and charged once.
Real clients, real scope, real fee.
Anonymised, but otherwise exactly as they are. The point isn't the number — it's what the number is attached to.

Most clients pay around $1,125 a month.
Worth saying plainly, because a range on its own tells you almost nothing — people read the bottom number and plan around it. This is the middle, which is where most businesses actually land.
A handful of larger or more complicated engagements run higher — up to around $10,000 a month. If that’s you, the call is the only way to know.
- No lock-in contracts
- No hourly billing, ever
- The same team every month
You asked. We answered.
Why don't you publish packages?
Because the same three services cost very different amounts depending on volume and complexity. A package price would either overcharge the straightforward businesses or underdeliver for the complicated ones — and the examples above show why: an agency at $2.5M pays $2,100 a month while an e-commerce business at four times the revenue pays $3,000 — five services against three. Fee tracks what you buy, not what you bill.
What accounting actually costsHow long until I get a number?
Usually on the call itself, occasionally the next day if the situation is unusual. You won't wait a week for a proposal.
Who actually does the work on my file?
Your own team, and the same one each month. We're a distributed firm — part of the team is in Canada, part in the Philippines and Mexico — but they're our people, not a third-party agency, and you'll know them by name. Nothing about your file gets handed to whoever is cheapest this quarter.
What if I'm two years behind?
Then there's a clean-up project first, quoted separately and charged once. The monthly fee starts when your books are current.
Does the price go up?
Only when scope changes — you hire, you add an entity, you want something we weren't doing before. We talk about it in advance, never on an invoice.
Who do you work best with?
Owner-managed Canadian businesses up to around $5M, incorporated or sole proprietor, who want to stop guessing. If we're more than you need right now, we'll tell you.
