Monthly financial statements & reporting

By the 10th of every month, you receive a complete P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement - CA-reviewed and ready for your accountant, lender, or investor. No more scrambling at tax time because your books haven’t been touched in months. We include a plain-English summary of your key numbers so you understand what the reports actually mean for your business.

Bank & credit card reconciliation

Every bank account, credit card, and payment processor reconciled monthly - sometimes weekly for high-volume businesses. We catch duplicate charges, missing deposits, and bank errors before they snowball into bigger problems. Reconciliation reports are included with your monthly financial package, giving you complete visibility into your cash position.

Accounting support, in our clients’ words.

I’ve been working with an account manager named Shriyam at Acelerar, as well a couple people on her team, namely Garima and Shiva. They’re all wonderful. I have nothing but great things to say about them. They picked up the projects really quickly and have been instrumental in reducing the workload on my shoulders and my team. Having their support and knowing that they’re handling projects (somewhat in the background of my day – meaning, with little supervision from me) is such a relief. I trust them with accounting and purchasing, two very time intensive and detail oriented tasks that not just anyone can do. Acelerar team has proven to be trustworthy and dedicated to our projects. We started slowly and will definitely be giving more and more work to them as they’ve come through for us on multiple occasions and continue to work hard every day. They’re an indispensable extension of our team and we certainly appreciate their efforts!

Small Business Bookkeeping FAQs

How much does a bookkeeping service cost for small business?

Professional bookkeeping for small businesses typically ranges from $299 to $999/month depending on transaction volume and complexity. Our Essential plan at $299/month covers businesses with up to 200 monthly transactions and includes categorization, reconciliation, and monthly financial statements. Businesses with 500-1,000 transactions typically fall in the $599-$799/month range. This is 70-80% less than hiring a full-time bookkeeper at $40,000-$55,000/year.

How much should you pay a bookkeeper per month?

For a small business with typical complexity, $300-$800/month is a fair range for outsourced bookkeeping that includes transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, and monthly financials. If you’re paying less than $200/month, the service likely cuts corners on reconciliation or CA review. If you’re paying more than $1,000/month with under 500 transactions, you may be overpaying. Our plans are structured by transaction volume so you only pay for what you need.

What is included in small business bookkeeping services?

Our bookkeeping service includes daily transaction categorization, bank and credit card reconciliation, expense tracking, vendor bill recording, accounts receivable tracking, monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements, and CA supervisory review. We also handle 1099 preparation, sales tax tracking, and year-end packages for your tax preparer. Payroll processing and full AP/AR management are available as add-ons.

Do you use QuickBooks or Xero for bookkeeping?

We support both QuickBooks (Online and Desktop) and Xero, along with FreshBooks, Wave, and Sage. We work directly in your existing software - you don’t need to switch platforms. Our bookkeepers are certified on all major platforms. If you’re just starting out and need help choosing, we typically recommend QuickBooks Online for most small businesses and Xero for businesses with international operations.

How is outsourced bookkeeping different from hiring an in-house bookkeeper?

Three main differences: cost, continuity, and oversight. An in-house bookkeeper costs $40,000-$55,000/year plus benefits and management time. Outsourced bookkeeping starts at $299/month. If your in-house bookkeeper quits, you lose institutional knowledge and face weeks of recruitment. With us, your processes are documented and backed by a team. And every outsourced engagement includes CA supervision - something most small businesses can’t afford to add in-house.

Can you handle tax preparation along with bookkeeping?

We prepare your books to be tax-ready, which means your CA or tax preparer can file immediately without any cleanup. We provide a complete year-end package including 1099s, reconciled financials, and supporting schedules. While we don’t file tax returns directly, our CA-supervised books reduce your tax preparer’s time (and your tax prep bill) significantly. We coordinate directly with your CA during tax season.

How do I get started with your bookkeeping service?

Getting started takes three steps: (1) A free consultation call where we assess your needs, transaction volume, and current book status. (2) You provide read-only access to your bank accounts and accounting software. (3) We assign your dedicated bookkeeper and begin with a catch-up phase if needed. Most clients are fully onboarded within 7-10 business days. If your books are current, ongoing service starts immediately.

Will I have a dedicated bookkeeper assigned to my business?

Yes. Every client is assigned a dedicated bookkeeper who learns your business, your vendors, your customers, and your preferences. This isn’t a call center model where a different person handles your account each month. Your bookkeeper is backed by a CA supervisor and a backup bookkeeper who’s cross-trained on your account for continuity during vacations or transitions.

What types of small businesses do you serve?

We serve small businesses across all industries including professional services (consultants, agencies, law firms), e-commerce and retail, restaurants and hospitality, construction and trades, real estate, healthcare practices, and nonprofits. Each industry has specific bookkeeping requirements - job costing for contractors, inventory for retail, trust accounting for law firms - and we match you with a bookkeeper experienced in your field.

How do you keep my financial data secure?

We use bank-grade security protocols: ISO 27001 certification, 256-bit encrypted data transfers, individual NDAs for every team member, role-based access controls, and optional VPN-restricted access. We use read-only bank connections where possible, meaning your bookkeeper can see transactions but cannot move money. Your data is never shared, sold, or accessed by unauthorized personnel.

Detailed bookkeeping research and service background

Small Business Bookkeeping Services That Let You Focus on Growth

You started a business to build something - not to reconcile transactions and chase receipts. Our dedicated bookkeepers handle your day-to-day accounting from $299/month, giving you clean books, monthly financials, and peace of mind without the cost of a full-time hire.

Professional bookkeeping without the full-time salary

Small business bookkeeping services handle the daily financial record-keeping that every business needs but most owners dread: categorizing transactions, reconciling bank accounts, managing receipts, tracking expenses, and producing the monthly financial statements that show you where your money is going. Hiring a full-time bookkeeper means a $40,000-$55,000 salary plus benefits, office space, and management overhead. With Acelerar, you get a dedicated bookkeeper - someone who knows your business, your chart of accounts, and your industry - starting at $299/month. Every account is CA-supervised, so your books are maintained to professional standards, not just "good enough." Whether you’re a solo consultant with 50 monthly transactions or a growing team with 1,000, we scale with you.
