What affects the price?
One-size-fits-all pricing doesn’t work. Some businesses are simple. Some are more complex. Here’s what can make your price go up or down:
- How busy your accounts are each month
- How many bank accounts, credit cards, or loans you use
- If you write a lot of checks or use payment apps
- How many credit card merchant accounts you use
- Your business yearly revenue
- Whether you want help matching payments to open invoices
- If we help you pay your bills
- If you need to track by job, location, or class
- How often we meet with you for strategic advisory

Pricing Steps
Are you ready to outsource your monthly bookkeeping? Amber’s Accounting and Bookkeeping values making this process less painful and more efficient for you. Good communication, accuracy, and timeliness is key! Check out our services to find out what package is right for you.
01
Discovery Meeting
It starts with a Zoom chat all about your business because when needs and working styles align, that sets the stage for long‑term success.
02
Diagnostic Review
The next step is a paid Diagnostic Review to take a deeper look at your numbers and needs. This service is $599 and if a package is chosen, that $599 can be applied to that package price. Diagnosing your financials delivers an accurate quote for fixing or maintaining them, gives you peace of mind that your accounting is in good hands, and lays out a clear path to help your business grow.
03
Pricing Meeting
Next up: crafting a custom price just for you. We’ll review the diagnostic findings and combine that with your goals to create a personalized bookkeeping proposal.
04
Commitment
Now that the custom price is built, you’ll receive a tailored proposal for either a one-time clean-up project if your books need organizing OR a monthly bookkeeping plan with a 12- month commitment if your books are clean or newly started.
05
Onboarding
The onboarding meeting ensures that everything in your proposal is checked off. By the end, every promise in your proposal is captured and ready to be executed, making sure your setup goes smoothly from day one.
