No hourly billing surprises, no vague “custom quote” runaround. Pick the plan that fits your business, or book a free consultation and I’ll help you figure out which one that is.
Bookkeeping pricing shouldn’t be a mystery, and it shouldn’t change based on how many questions you ask. Every plan here is flat-rate and published upfront, not quoted case-by-case after a sales call. Deductible business expenses and record-keeping requirements follow CRA guidelines for small businesses, so accurate monthly bookkeeping isn’t just about tidy numbers — it directly affects what you can claim.
For businesses just getting off spreadsheets. Monthly transaction categorization and bank reconciliation (1 account). Monthly profit & loss statement. HST tracking. QuickBooks Online or Xero setup included.
Everything in Starter, plus: multiple accounts reconciled, full P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements, HST/GST filing prep, accounts payable & receivable tracking.
Catch-Up Bookkeeping — starting at $75/month of backlog, typically $500–$4,500 total depending on scope.
How much does a bookkeeper cost really depends on transaction volume and whether you’re billed hourly or flat-rate. Flat monthly bookkeeping pricing (like the plans above) means the bookkeeping services cost is fixed and known before the month starts, not a surprise invoice.
Which plan is right for my business?
Most small businesses with under 30 transactions a month fit Starter. 30–100 transactions monthly fits Growth. Established is for higher-volume or multi-location businesses.
How much does a CPA charge for bookkeeping?
It depends on the CPA and what’s included. Flat monthly plans (like these) mean you always know what you’re paying before the month starts.
How much does a bookkeeper charge per hour in Canada?
Typically $30–$75/hour, but hourly billing makes costs unpredictable. Flat monthly pricing avoids that.
Is there a contract?
No long-term lock-in. Month-to-month, cancel anytime.
Do these prices include tax filing?
HST/GST tracking and filing prep is included from Growth up. Personal or corporate income tax filing is available separately.
Is payroll included?
Payroll is included on the Established plan (up to 5 employees). On Starter or Growth, it’s available as an add-on at $60/month base + $8/employee.

Transaction volume is the single biggest factor in bookkeeping pricing — a business with 20 transactions a month costs less to service accurately than one with 200. Number of bank and credit card accounts, whether payroll is involved, and how many entities or locations need consolidated reporting all factor in too. That’s exactly why flat-tier pricing (Starter, Growth, Established) makes more sense than a single one-size-fits-all number: it scales with what the work actually requires, not a guess.
Not sure which tier fits? Most clients start with a quick look at their bookkeeping needs during a free consultation, and move up a tier later if the business grows into it — there’s no penalty for changing plans as things change.
Bookkeeping pricing here is deliberately simple: pick a tier, know the cost, get started. No hidden setup fees, no surprise line items at the end of the month.
