The cost depends on transaction volumes, record quality, software and the services included. Affordable Bookkeeper advertises routine bookkeeping from $45 per week, with the final scope and price agreed after review.
What this means in practice
A starting price does not tell you the full scope of a service. Ask how much work is expected, what deliverables are included and whether BAS, payroll, software or catch-up work are separate. A fixed fee can be useful when the scope is predictable, while a backlog may need an initial assessment. GST treatment and any third-party charges should be clear in the quote.
Your next steps
- Compare the same scope
- Ask about included reports
- Separate ongoing and catch-up work
- Confirm fees and GST in writing
