Onboarding times will vary depending on the complexity of your financial situation and typically take about a week on average. Once onboarding is complete, your monthly financial statements detailing the previous month's performance are prepared and sent to you on or before the 15th of every month.

Your expert bookkeeper will need a few items and information to start doing your books and providing business bookkeeping services, including:

• Prior year financial statements and depreciation schedule
• Bank and credit card statements
• Bookkeeping software access

The volume of your financial transactions will determine your bookkeeping cost. The small business expert conducting your discovery consultation will disclose bookkeeping pricing details during this discussion, tailoring them to your business needs and budget.
