INDUSTRY PRICING — FOR REFERENCE ONLY
What does bookkeeping typically cost?
There is no one-size-fits-all bookkeeping rate.
Current U.S. pricing guides commonly place ongoing small-business bookkeeping around $300–$1,500+ per month, with many basic services around $250–$350, mid-range services around $500–$700, and more complex/premium engagements at $1,000+ per month. Actual pricing varies with transaction volume, number of accounts, reporting requirements, cleanup needs, and business complexity.
Guiding Light Group does not publish standard rates on this website. Your needs are reviewed individually, and a quote is provided after we understand your business, books, volume, and scope of work.
