Our Story

Your business depends on accuracy, timeliness and the ability to read and analyze the reports you receive. With Freedom Bookkeeping & Accounting Services you will understand the reports you receive and you will be given insights and knowledgeable advice on your business and your financial health.

Cost of Bookkeeping: Bookkeeping services start as low as $110 per month, with pricing varying based on the complexity of your business's needs. The simplest companies may see this minimum cost, while others may incur higher charges depending on the volume and type of work required.

Factors Affecting Cost: The cost of bookkeeping is influenced by the level of automation available and the time required for tasks. Automating bank and credit card feeds can reduce costs by eliminating manual data entry and potential errors. Additional services such as Sales Tax Returns, payroll integration, and accounts receivable/accounts payable management will increase the overall cost based on the time and complexity of the work involved.
