We do not publish per-hour rates, because the honest answer depends on your volume, your stack and your jurisdictions. What we can show you is exactly what an in-house hire costs - and the three engagement shapes most clients land in.
We don't publish numbers - every engagement is shaped to your stack, volume and jurisdictions.
For solo CPAs, freelancers and small businesses that need clean books and on-time filings.
For growing firms and multi-entity businesses that need a real finance bench behind them.
For multi-entity groups and CPA firms scaling offshore - a self-contained pod under your firm's brand.
An in-house hire costs considerably more than what lands in their bank account. Here is the same role, counted properly on both sides - using a mid-level US senior accountant as the worked example.
Illustrative, using an $88,000 US senior accountant as the example. Your figure depends on volume, jurisdictions and review intensity - which is why the range is a range. Use the calculator below with your own salary numbers, then we will scope the real figure against observed volume during the pilot.
Set the role, the country and the salary you would genuinely pay. Every assumption is shown in the breakdown - nothing is hidden in the arithmetic.
Starts at an indicative market benchmark. Drag it to the number you would actually pay.
Most engagements start at one and grow after the first quarter.
An estimate, not a quote. Salary defaults are indicative market benchmarks, which is why the slider exists. Our figure is shown as a band because it depends on volume, jurisdictions and review intensity - we scope the real number against observed volume during the free pilot.
The questions people feel awkward asking on a call.
Because the same job title covers wildly different work. A "bookkeeping engagement" can be forty transactions a month on one entity or four thousand across six, and a rate card that covers both is either misleading at the bottom or uncompetitive at the top. We would rather scope against your actual volume - which the free pilot lets us observe rather than estimate.
As a planning figure, most clients land between 30% and 45% of what the same capacity would cost them fully loaded in-house. The calculator above puts that against your own salary numbers. We will give you a specific figure after the pilot, when it is based on evidence.
No. Engagements run month to month with 30 days' notice and no penalty. We would rather earn the relationship each month than hold you to a year you regret by March.
Third-party costs are yours and are never marked up - software subscriptions, filing fees, registration charges. Anything genuinely outside the agreed scope is quoted before it is started, never after.
Monthly in arrears for retained engagements, against the scope in the engagement letter. Project work is quoted as a fixed fee before it starts. No setup fees, no onboarding charge, no recruitment fee.
We re-scope rather than let it drift. If volume falls, the fee falls - we will tell you that rather than wait for you to notice. If it rises materially, we agree the new scope before absorbing it, so nothing arrives as a surprise invoice.
