The bookkeeping problem in manufacturing is inventory: it is an asset until it sells, and expensing purchases on payment rather than on sale distorts every month it touches. Getting COGS timing right is most of the work.
Bookkeeping records what happened, accurately and on a schedule: every transaction coded to the right account, every bank and card reconciled, AP and AR kept current, and a monthly close that ties. Done properly it is the foundation everything else stands on — a controller cannot design controls over data that is wrong, and a CFO forecasting off unreliable books produces confident projections from bad inputs.
Flat monthly fee by transaction volume and account count. Flat rather than hourly, so asking a question never costs you money.
Under roughly 100 transactions a month with a single account, the market rate is $300–$600 and we are usually not the right fit. We are worth it once volume, channels or inventory make the close genuinely hard.

Find My Solution →Almost always because inventory is being expensed when purchased rather than when sold. A $50,000 purchase in March is not a March expense — it converts cash into an asset, and the expense follows the units as they sell. Fix the timing and margin stops swinging without a pricing or supplier change behind it.
Past roughly $1M in revenue or a few hundred SKUs, yes. Below that, periodic counts with a monthly COGS adjustment work. The trigger is usually SKU and variant count rather than dollars — complexity scales with variants.
The honest bands, full-service including a monthly close: under 100 transactions a month, $300–$600; 100–300 transactions across two or three accounts, $600–$1,200; 300–800 transactions plus payroll, $1,200–$2,500; 800–2,000 transactions with inventory or multiple entities, $2,500–$5,000. Above that it is really a controller engagement.
Scope that has not been disclosed yet. Ask who reconciles the balance sheet and how often, whether the monthly close is included or billed separately at year-end, whether 1099s and sales tax filings are in scope, and whether the fee changes if your volume grows 40%.
