What does a bookkeeper do for a small business?

A bookkeeper records and categorizes all financial transactions, reconciles bank accounts, and produces monthly financial statements including profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow reports. At Bookkeeping Made Simple, we also provide strategic advisory services that help small business owners understand and act on their financial data.

How much does monthly bookkeeping cost for a small business?

Monthly bookkeeping costs typically range from $300 to $1,200 per month for most small businesses, depending on transaction volume, complexity, and the services included. Bookkeeping Made Simple offers fixed-fee pricing so you always know what you're paying with no surprise bills.

What is a fractional CFO and does my small business need one?

A fractional CFO is a high-level financial strategist who works with your business part-time, providing the same expertise as a full-time CFO at a fraction of the cost. If you're experiencing rapid growth, making major financial decisions, or want to use your financial data to drive strategy rather than just compliance, a fractional CFO may be right for you.

Do I need a bookkeeper or an accountant?

A bookkeeper handles day-to-day financial recordkeeping and monthly reporting, while an accountant typically handles tax preparation and higher-level financial analysis. Many small businesses need both. Bookkeeping Made Simple provides bookkeeping, advisory services, and tax preparation under one roof so nothing falls through the cracks.

Does Bookkeeping Made Simple serve businesses outside of Utah?

Yes. Bookkeeping Made Simple serves small businesses nationwide. While we are based in Pleasant Grove, Utah, all of our services are delivered remotely and we work with clients across the United States.

What support can I get for my business?

Get ongoing bookkeeping, cleanup and catch-up help, or deeper business advisory support. The goal is reliable financial information you can use to understand your business and make better decisions. Payroll is available with ongoing bookkeeping, and tax preparation is available to existing bookkeeping clients.

How much does bookkeeping cost?

Pricing is customized to the support your business needs and the scope and complexity of your records. Your Financial Clarity Call helps us understand your situation and explain what is needed to prepare a proposal.

Do you work with businesses outside Utah?

Yes. Based in Pleasant Grove, Utah, we serve small businesses nationwide with a 100% U.S.-based team. You can get bookkeeping and financial guidance wherever your business is based.

Can I get cleanup without ongoing bookkeeping?

Yes. You can get help bringing historical records into order even if you are not currently an ongoing bookkeeping client. We can also discuss ongoing support if that would help you stay informed after cleanup.

How is advisory different from ongoing bookkeeping?

Ongoing bookkeeping gives you reliable financial records and quarterly reviews to understand your results and important changes. Deeper advisory support is scoped around decisions and planning, such as evaluating hiring costs, pricing, cash needs, or expansion options.

Let’s Find Your Next Step Toward Financial Clarity.

Tell us what feels uncertain about your books or business finances. Your complimentary 30-minute Financial Clarity Call will help identify the support that makes sense and what information is needed next.
