The Going Rate
How much does a bookkeeper cost?
For most small businesses, outsourced bookkeeping runs $150 to $800 per month, driven by transaction volume and complexity. At SoFlo360, bookkeeping is $99 a month for a business bringing in up to about $15,000 a month. Bigger businesses are $249 a month. Add filings for $50 a month.
The other common ways to buy bookkeeping are hourly (freelancers commonly bill $25 to $80 an hour, so the monthly total moves with how messy the month was) and in-house (a part-time hire costs more than either plan on this page before payroll taxes). Flat monthly pricing exists so the number you budget is the number you pay. For the full comparison with worked examples, read my guide to what a bookkeeper costs in Florida.
