Bookkeeping Services Pricing

Porter Accounting LLC’s Essential Plan starts at $850 per month, the Growth Plan starts at $1,300 per month, and the Advanced Plan starts at $2,100 per month. Final pricing depends on transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll complexity, and cleanup needs. Catch-up work and specialized services may use separate pricing structures or custom quotes.

Monthly bookkeeping includes recording and categorizing transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, and preparing monthly financial statements. Plan features vary: the Growth Plan includes weekly support, while the Advanced Plan adds financial analysis, budget tracking, cash flow monitoring, and management reporting. The appropriate plan depends on the complexity and support needs of your business.

The Essential Plan is designed for very small businesses with simple activity. The Growth Plan is intended for growing businesses needing weekly support and vendor communication. The Advanced Plan is built for established businesses requiring financial analysis, budget tracking, cash flow monitoring, and management reporting. Each plan starts at its listed rate, with final pricing based on your accounting requirements.

Payroll support is included in the Essential, Growth, and Advanced monthly plans. It helps ensure payroll is properly recorded and aligned with accounting records, while also supporting payroll tax tracking and accurate reporting. The amount of work required can affect final pricing, particularly when payroll complexity is greater.

Catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping is priced at 1.5 times the regular monthly bookkeeping rate, starting from the $850 per month base rate. A custom quote may apply based on transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll complexity, and cleanup scope. The service addresses overdue records, accounting errors, and organization needed for lending or investor review.

Yes. Porter Accounting LLC provides virtual bookkeeping and accounting services across the United States. In-person service is available by appointment around San Francisco and other areas identified by the firm. Virtual delivery can support recurring bookkeeping, financial statements, payroll support, clean-up projects, controller services, and fractional CFO work.

The Advanced Plan, starting at $2,100 per month, includes controller-level features such as month-end close oversight, accrual adjustments, financial analysis, budget tracking, cash flow monitoring, detailed reporting, and audit prep. Standalone controller services start at $100 per hour. Fractional CFO services start at $150 per hour and include cash flow forecasting, budgeting, KPI tracking, and financial strategy.

The final price is based on the actual scope of support required. Porter Accounting LLC considers transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll complexity, and any cleanup needs when determining monthly pricing. Businesses needing specialized reporting, controller oversight, financial strategy, or a one-time project may receive a custom quote based on complexity and scope.

Yes. Bookkeeping is the starting point, not the full scope. Businesses can add controller services from $100 per hour, fractional CFO support from $150 per hour, GAAP financial statements, and technical accounting such as ASC 606 revenue recognition or ERP setup, which are quoted based on complexity. Many clients begin with a monthly plan and add advisory hours as reporting and planning needs grow.

Audit preparation is included in the Advanced Plan for businesses on recurring service. For a one-time engagement, Porter Accounting LLC provides a custom quote based on the state of the records, the number of schedules and reconciliations needed, and the auditor’s request list. Porter prepares records and supports your external auditors or CPA; it does not perform the audit itself.

ASC 606 work is priced by custom quote because contracts vary widely. Scope depends on how many revenue streams and contract types you have, whether subscriptions or multi-element arrangements are involved, and whether deferred revenue schedules already exist. SaaS, manufacturing, and construction businesses often need this support once contracts grow more complex.
