What isn't extra
No setup fee, no first-year fee, no per-document or per-receipt fee, no fee to cancel and no fee to get your files back. If a price changes, you get 30 days' written notice first.
The guarantee: your books are yours
Cancel any time, no notice period. Within five business days you get your QuickBooks file transferred to you as the owner, or a complete export of every transaction, attachment and report, plus every document you sent us. Files go out even if an invoice is open. After you leave, keeping QuickBooks running takes your own QuickBooks subscription (Simple Start lists at $38 a month), or take the full export free.
What we don't do
We're bookkeepers, not a CPA firm. We don't prepare or file tax returns, compute estimated taxes or give tax, legal or loan advice. If you need a return filed, keep your tax preparer; we make their job faster.
Not sure where your books stand? Tell us in two lines how you keep your books now and how far behind they are. We'll set up a short call, tell you free what shape they're in, and quote a fixed price to get them current.

Is QuickBooks included in the $89?
Yes. Monthly Books includes a QuickBooks Ledger subscription. If you'd rather have your own full QuickBooks login, you can keep your own subscription and invite us as your bookkeeper instead.
Is there a contract?
There's a short service agreement, but no long-term commitment. Monthly Books is month to month and you can cancel any time.
Why is this cheaper than some trucking bookkeeping services?
Many trucking services bundle tax preparation into the price. We only do the books, so you pay for bookkeeping and keep the tax preparer you choose.
Do you charge more if I have a lot of receipts?
There's no per-receipt fee. Monthly Books is priced for the scope above: one truck, one carrier, one business checking account and up to two business cards. More trucks or accounts are quoted before you start.
What happens to my books if I cancel?
You get the QuickBooks file in your name or a full export, plus every document you sent, within five business days, at no charge.
