Fixed-fee New York pricing — written scope before any work.
Most firms hide pricing and bill by the hour. TechBrot does the opposite: every New York engagement is a fixed fee against a written scope, agreed before work begins — monthly bookkeeping from $400/mo, bookkeeping cleanup from $1,500. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. A named QuickBooks ProAdvisor works inside your own QuickBooks file across all 62 counties.

New York pricing, in five questions.
How does TechBrot price services in New York?
Fixed-fee with written scope before any work begins. No hourly billing. Monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/mo; bookkeeping cleanup $1,500–$15,000+; catch-up $2,000–$20,000+; QB setup $750–$5,000+; migration $2,500–$10,000+; sales tax $250–$1,500+/mo; payroll $150–$800+/mo.

Why no hourly billing?
Hourly billing penalizes you for the provider’s inefficiency and creates unpredictable invoices. TechBrot fixes the fee against a written scope so total cost is known before work starts. Scope changes are re-quoted in writing — never a surprise invoice.
What sets the price within a range?
Transaction volume, accounts, entities, payroll complexity, history depth — plus New York specifics like NYC sales-tax complexity and UBT allocation. The discovery call surfaces these; the written scope reflects them.
Free call? Any contracts?
Free, 30 minutes, no obligation. Written fixed-fee scope within 3 business days. No long-term lock-in on recurring engagements — they run month to month.
Does it include tax filing?
No. TechBrot delivers CPA-ready books; your CPA files your returns and the NYC UBT. Year-end CPA handoff included free in recurring engagements.
How TechBrot New York pricing works.
Every TechBrot engagement is fixed-fee with a written scope agreed before any work begins — no hourly billing. New York ranges: monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/mo; cleanup $1,500–$15,000+; catch-up $2,000–$20,000+; QuickBooks setup $750–$5,000+; migration $2,500–$10,000+; sales-tax tracking $250–$1,500+/mo; payroll $150–$800+/mo.
Where you land depends on real factors — transaction volume, accounts and entities, history depth, file complexity, and New York specifics like NYC sales-tax complexity and UBT allocation. The 30-minute discovery call is free; your exact fixed fee is delivered in writing within 3 business days. No long-term lock-in on recurring engagements.
Tax filing isn’t included — your CPA files your returns and the NYC UBT — but year-end CPA handoff is included free in recurring engagements.
Every New York engagement fits one of three shapes.
Pricing structure follows the shape of the work. All three run to the same standard: fixed fee, written scope, named ProAdvisor.
Monthly retainer
Ongoing work billed as a fixed monthly fee. Same-shape deliverables every month. No long-term lock-in — runs month to month against the written scope.
For: monthly bookkeeping, payroll, sales-tax compliance.
Fixed-fee project
Defined-scope work delivered in weeks, with a written fixed fee and set start and completion dates. Often transitions into a recurring engagement after.
For: cleanup, catch-up, QuickBooks setup, migration.
CPA-paired
Scoped so the two fit cleanly — including NYC UBT-ready and sales-tax-ready books handed off at year-end.
For: businesses with an existing CPA who need the bookkeeping side.
Every New York service, every range.
The complete pricing landscape for New York businesses. Every fee is fixed and scoped in writing before work begins.

All engagements: fixed fee, written scope before work begins, no hourly billing. Tax-return and NYC UBT filing are handled by your CPA and billed separately. Specific quotes follow the free discovery call within 3 business days.
Why we don’t bill by the hour.
Hourly billing has a structural problem: it penalizes you for the provider’s inefficiency. The slower they work, the more you pay. The invoice is unpredictable, and you can’t budget around it. Worse, it makes you hesitate to call your own accountant — because every question starts a meter.
TechBrot prices every New York engagement as a fixed fee against a written scope. You know the total cost before any work begins. Call as often as you need within the engagement — no meter. If the work genuinely expands beyond the agreed scope, the fee is re-quoted and re-approved in writing before anything proceeds. You are never surprised by an invoice.
This works because the work is delivered by a QuickBooks ProAdvisor efficient enough to price confidently — including the New York specifics, from NYC sales tax to UBT-ready books. The fixed fee is a statement of competence: we know how long good work takes, so we can quote it.
Every fixed fee includes these.
Regardless of service or price, every New York engagement includes the same six standards. They’re not add-ons — they’re the baseline.
Free discovery call
A 30-minute call before anything is quoted. Free, no obligation, no sales push.
Written fixed-fee scope
