Pricing
Fixed-fee pricing.
Written scope before any work.
Most accounting firms hide their pricing and bill by the hour. TechBrot does the opposite: every engagement is a fixed fee against a written scope, agreed before work begins. No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. Here are the real ranges across every service — your exact fixed fee is quoted within 3 business days of a free discovery call.

How TechBrot pricing works.
Every TechBrot engagement is fixed-fee with a written scope agreed before any work begins — no hourly billing. Ranges: monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/month; cleanup $1,500–$15,000+; catch-up $2,000–$20,000+; QuickBooks setup $750–$5,000+; migration $2,500–$10,000+; payroll $150–$800+/month; sales tax compliance $250–$1,500+/month; fractional CFO $3,000–$8,000+/month (by application). Where you land in a range depends on real factors — transaction volume, number of accounts and entities, history depth, file complexity. 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 handles that), but year-end CPA handoff is included free. Independent ProAdvisor firm — not affiliated with Intuit Inc.

TechBrot pricing, in five questions.
- How does TechBrot price services?
Fixed-fee with written scope before any work begins. No hourly billing. Monthly bookkeeping $400–$2,500+/mo; cleanup $1,500–$15,000+; catch-up $2,000–$20,000+; QB setup $750–$5,000+; migration $2,500–$10,000+; payroll $150–$800+/mo; sales tax $250–$1,500+/mo; fractional CFO $3,000–$8,000+/mo. Exact fee quoted within 3 business days of a free call.
- Why no hourly billing?
Hourly billing penalizes clients for a 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 and re-approved in writing — never a surprise invoice.
- What sets the price within a range?
Recurring: transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll complexity, entities. Cleanup/catch-up: months or years involved, severity of issues. QB projects: file complexity, integrations, platform. The discovery call surfaces these; the written scope reflects them.
- Is the discovery call free? 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 against the written scope.
- Does the price include tax filing?
No. TechBrot delivers operational accounting and CPA-ready books; your CPA or EA files taxes. Year-end CPA handoff is included free in recurring engagements. TechBrot does not file returns or represent clients before the IRS.

Why fixed-fee
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 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 only works because the work is delivered by Certified ProAdvisors efficient enough to price confidently. The fixed fee is a statement of competence: we know how long good work takes, so we can quote it.
