Cost Accountant Services Pricing

Hourly accounting rates vary based on the type and complexity of work. Porter Accounting LLC lists controller services starting at $100 per hour and fractional CFO services starting at $150 per hour. Technical accounting, cleanup, reporting, and advisory projects may require a custom quote because scope, transaction volume, account count, payroll complexity, and existing records affect the work involved.

Cost depends on the service, scope, and condition of your records. Porter Accounting LLC’s monthly accounting plans start at $850 per month, while controller services start at $100 per hour and fractional CFO services start at $150 per hour. Financial statement preparation, revenue recognition, system setup, and cleanup work may be priced through a custom quote.

Monthly plans can include recurring transaction recording, account reconciliations, financial statements, payroll support, and different levels of reporting or advisory support. The Essential, Growth, and Advanced plans start at $850, $1,300, and $2,100 per month respectively. Final pricing depends on transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll complexity, and cleanup needs.

Important pricing factors include transaction volume, the number of accounts, payroll complexity, the condition of prior records, cleanup requirements, reporting expectations, and whether you need recurring bookkeeping or higher-level financial oversight. Businesses requiring accrual adjustments, cash flow monitoring, analysis, or detailed management reporting may need an Advanced plan or a separately scoped controller or CFO engagement.

Porter Accounting LLC provides virtual accounting and financial advisory services across the United States. In-person support is available by appointment around Santa Rosa, San Francisco, and San Jose, California, according to the service details provided.

Yes. Porter Accounting LLC provides specialized revenue recognition accounting under ASC 606. The work helps businesses recognize revenue according to recognized accounting standards and supports reliable reporting for lenders, investors, stakeholders, and auditors. Pricing may be a custom quote, part of the Advanced monthly plan, or available through controller or fractional CFO services.

Yes. Catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping can address overdue records, correct errors, and organize financial information for lending decisions or investor review. Pricing starts at 1.5 times the regular monthly bookkeeping rate, with a base monthly rate starting at $850. Final pricing depends on transaction volume, account count, payroll complexity, and cleanup scope.

Audit preparation is included in the Advanced plan, which starts at $2,100 per month and also covers month-end close oversight, accrual adjustments, and detailed reporting. Businesses that only need help before a specific audit can request a one-time custom quote. Porter Accounting LLC organizes records, reconciliations, and requested schedules and responds to auditor requests; the audit itself is performed by your independent auditor.

ASC 606 work is quoted per project because effort depends on the number and type of customer contracts, performance obligations, variable consideration, and how revenue is currently tracked. A one-time implementation or catch-up review is scoped differently from ongoing deferred revenue schedules, which can be paired with controller services.
