A Better Way to Hire a Bookkeeper

Bookkeeping is the task founders defer longest. You categorize transactions on Sunday nights, receipts live in an inbox folder, and reconciliation happens whenever guilt wins. Local bookkeepers cost $50K+ for what feels like a part-time need, and bookkeeping services give you a shared account manager who learns your business slowly and asks the same questions every month. Our model closes that gap with one dedicated bookkeeper who keeps your books current every day, for less than either option.

Every candidate goes through structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment. When you hire a bookkeeper through us, they categorize and reconcile a messy sample ledger during vetting, and we check their work line by line before you ever see them. Then they get embedded in your accounting software and daily workflow within 30 days, with no employment admin on your side.

What does a Bookkeeper do?

A bookkeeper records and organizes every transaction as it happens, keeping your ledger accurate and up to date. That daily discipline is what makes month-end painless and tax time boring.

  • Categorize daily bank and credit card transactions in QuickBooks or Xero, matching each one to receipts and vendor records
  • Reconcile all bank, credit card, and payment processor accounts monthly, so book balances always tie to statements
  • Enter bills and customer invoices, track what is due and owed, and keep vendor and customer records clean and current
  • Collect and file receipts through tools like Dext, maintain supporting documentation, and hand your accountant organized books at month-end and tax time

When is it time to Hire a Bookkeeper?

Most teams hire a bookkeeper when the founder is still the one doing the books, and the books show it.

You spend evenings or weekends categorizing transactions, and the backlog grows faster than you clear it

Tax time meant paying your CPA hourly to fix a year of miscategorized transactions before they could even start the return

You cannot say with confidence what you spent last month or who still owes you money

Reconciliations are months behind, and the numbers in your accounting software no longer match your bank

How much does it cost to Hire a Bookkeeper?

Hiring a bookkeeper locally typically costs $4,500 to $6,000 per month once you factor in salary, benefits, and overhead. With our model, you can reduce that cost by up to 70% while still getting a full-time bookkeeper working directly inside your QuickBooks or Xero file every day.

Common Questions

How fast can a bookkeeper start?
Most placements are matched and working inside your books within 30 days. You interview a pre-vetted shortlist, pick the best fit, and we handle contracts and onboarding so catch-up work starts right away.
How experienced are your bookkeepers?
Typically 2 to 5+ years of full-charge bookkeeping for US businesses, including daily categorization, monthly reconciliations, and AP and AR support across service, e-commerce, and agency clients.
How do you vet bookkeepers?
Candidates clean up a deliberately messy sample ledger, categorizing transactions and completing reconciliations we verify line by line. We also test US bookkeeping fundamentals and practical AI fluency.
Can they handle a backlog of months of transactions?
Yes. Catch-up work is common in the first weeks. Your bookkeeper clears the backlog, reconciles each historical month, and then keeps everything current so the pile never returns.
Can they work in my time zone?
Yes. When you hire a bookkeeper through us, candidates are matched to your working hours, so questions about a charge or a missing receipt get answered the same day.
What tools do your bookkeepers know?
QuickBooks Online and Xero for the ledger, plus Bill.com, Gusto, Stripe, Shopify, and Dext for the workflows around it, with Excel and Google Sheets for reports and cleanup work.
How is this different from a bookkeeping service?
Services share staff across dozens of clients and answer on their schedule. Here, one dedicated bookkeeper works your books daily, knows your vendors by name, and responds when you ask.
