FAQ

Bookkeeping Cost in Portland

How much does a bookkeeper cost per month?

For small businesses with under 200 transactions/month, expect $300–$800/month. At 500+ transactions, multi-entity, or inventory, monthly fees often run $1,000–$2,500.

Is it cheaper to hire in-house or outsourced bookkeeping?

Outsourced is usually cheaper under $2M in revenue — no benefits, training, or software overhead. In-house makes sense when you need daily on-site support or have 10+ employees.

What makes bookkeeping more expensive?

High transaction volume, multiple bank accounts or credit cards, inventory/COGS tracking, intercompany transactions, accrual-basis requirements, and catch-up/cleanup work.
