Equated vs Bookkeeper360

Every price on Bookkeeper360's pricing page begins with "starting at". That is honest about how service pricing works, and it means you cannot know what your books will cost until you have had the call.

Read Bookkeeper360’s pricing page and you will not find a price. You will find eight floors.

Monthly bookkeeping starting at $399. Weekly starting at $599. Onboarding starting at $1,000. Business tax starting at $1,000 a year. Fractional CFO starting at $2,000 a month. A three-year forecast starting at $10,000.

This is not a criticism, exactly

Service pricing works this way because the cost is labour, and the labour scales with your transaction volume and how tangled your books already are. A firm that quoted one number for everyone would be wrong for almost everyone. “Starting at” is the honest form.

But it does mean the thing you most want to know — what will this cost me — is not on the page, and cannot be. You find out on a call, after describing your business to someone whose job includes pricing it.

The weekly tier is the interesting one

Most of this category tops out at a monthly close. Bookkeeper360 sells weekly reporting for $599 a month, and that is the fastest cadence anyone in this comparison set offers.

It is also an admission. Weekly exists because monthly is too slow to run a business on, and in a service model the only available fix is to pay a person to do the same batch more often. The mechanism does not change. The interval does.

Every cadence you can buy is still a version of “someone will look at this later.” The question is only how much later, and how much you are willing to pay to shorten it.

The unbundling

Payroll from $200 a month. Sales tax from $125. Back office from $150. Each is a reasonable price for real work, and each is a separate line.

A company that wants all of it has bought a small outsourced finance department, which is a coherent thing to want and is genuinely what some companies need. It is worth adding the lines up before comparing the headline against a software subscription, because they are not the same purchase.

Where we differ

The interval is zero, and there is no call.

Entries are proposed with the document attached as transactions arrive, and confirming them takes minutes. Nothing is batched, so there is no cadence to price and no faster tier to upgrade to. The books are current because nothing is waiting on anyone’s calendar.

If what you actually want is a firm that owns the whole thing and picks up the phone, Bookkeeper360 is a good version of that, and we are not it.

Questions

What does Bookkeeper360 actually cost?

The published figures are floors, not prices — monthly bookkeeping starts at $399, weekly at $599, onboarding at $1,000 per project, business tax at $1,000 a year, fractional CFO at $2,000 a month. What you pay depends on transaction volume and complexity, which is decided on a call.

Why is there a weekly plan?

Because monthly is often too slow, and in a service model the only lever for that is paying a person to sit down with your transactions more often. At $599 a month it is the fastest cadence in this comparison set, and it is still a batch process.

Is there a setup fee?

Onboarding and prior bookkeeping start at $1,000 as a separate project — chart of accounts, platform setup, cleanup of previous periods, integrations. It is priced honestly as the real work it is, and it is a switching cost worth knowing about before you compare monthly figures.

Does Bookkeeper360 support Canadian filings?

Its published tax services are federal and state returns with US-based support. A Canadian corporation filing a T2, or a company filing on both sides, is not what these plans describe.
