Monthly Bookkeeping Packages: What Should Be Included?

Monthly bookkeeping packages help businesses keep financial records updated throughout the year. Instead of waiting until tax season, business owners receive ongoing support, account reconciliation, and financial reports each month. A good bookkeeping package should match the size, industry, and complexity of the business.

What Is a Monthly Bookkeeping Package?

A monthly bookkeeping package is a recurring service plan that usually includes transaction categorization, bank reconciliation, credit card reconciliation, financial reports, and bookkeeping support.

Some packages also include payroll coordination, accounts payable, accounts receivable, sales tax support, and monthly review calls.

Basic Bookkeeping Package

This works best for simple service businesses with low transaction volume.

  • Bank reconciliation
  • Credit card reconciliation
  • Income and expense categorization
  • Monthly profit and loss statement
