BOOKKEEPING SERVICES PRICING CALCULATOR FOR PITTSBURGH BUSINESSES
Most bookkeeping calculators online give you a generic national average. This one's different. It's built by Pittsburgh bookkeepers using real local market rates, and it shows you two things at once: what DIY bookkeeping is actually costing you in lost time and missed deductions, and what a professional bookkeeper would charge for the same work.
The calculator factors in your industry, annual revenue, hours you spend on books each month, what your time is worth, and whether you're already paying a CPA to clean things up. Most business owners discover they're losing $300 to $800 per month in DIY costs they never accounted for. Time spent reconciling instead of growing the business. Missed deductions because the categorization is wrong. Penalty risk because quarterly taxes get filed late.
The estimate you get isn't a sales pitch. It's a real number based on flat monthly pricing we publish on our pricing page. Plans start at $399/month for monthly bookkeeping and scale based on your transaction volume and complexity. If you're behind on your books and need a one-time fix before going on a monthly plan, we can also quote catch-up bookkeeping or QuickBooks cleanup separately.
Pricing Questions
BOOKKEEPING PRICING FAQ
Most Pittsburgh bookkeepers fall in the $300 to $1,500 per month range for monthly bookkeeping, depending on transaction volume, number of accounts, and how clean your books currently are. Peacock's plans start at $399/month for Essentials and go up to $1,199/month for Scale. The calculator above gives you a personalized estimate based on your business specifics, not a generic average.
Yes, within a normal range. The calculator uses real Pittsburgh-area market rates, the actual time it takes to clean and reconcile a typical month of books, and standard hourly costs for both DIY work (your time) and professional bookkeeping. The output is calibrated to what we actually charge our clients in the Cranberry Township and greater Pittsburgh metro. For an exact quote tailored to your business, the only way is a free 30-minute call.
Five inputs: your industry (which affects transaction complexity), your annual revenue (which roughly tracks transaction volume), how many hours per month you currently spend on bookkeeping yourself, your effective hourly rate (what your time is worth), and whether a CPA is already cleaning up your books. The calculator combines those to show both your true DIY cost and what a professional bookkeeper would charge for the same work.
Two reasons. First, they want to qualify you on a sales call before quoting. Second, they don't have flat-rate pricing in the first place, so they need to estimate hours and bill hourly. We disagree with both. We publish flat monthly prices so you can decide if we're in your budget before getting on a call. No pricing games, no hidden fees, no surprise invoices.
Book a free 30-minute call. We'll look at your actual books (or your bank statements if your books don't exist yet), figure out exactly what shape they're in, and give you a flat monthly price plus a one-time cleanup quote if needed. No high-pressure sales. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you and recommend someone who is.
