I thought monthly bookkeeping at $300 was a ripoff until my old accountant retired and I saw what the new gal caught
Back in 2019 I ran my landscaping crew's books myself in a spreadsheet and figured paying anyone $300 a month was throwing money away. My old guy retired last spring so I gave a local bookkeeper in Aurora a shot, mostly because my wife got tired of me complaining about receipts. Six weeks in she found $4,100 in duplicate supply charges from a vendor we'd been overpaying since 2022, plus a mileage log mistake that saved us $900 at tax time. I felt pretty dumb for waiting so long, honestly. She also set up a simple system where my foreman just texts photos of receipts instead of me digging through the truck console every Sunday. Curious if anyone here pays more or less than $300 a month for small business bookkeeping, and whether it's actually worth it once you're past a certain revenue.
