FAQ

  • What is bookkeeping?

    Bookkeeping is the process of recording, organizing, and maintaining a business’s financial records. Bookkeepers are specially trained professionals that handle the bookkeeping which includes but is not limited to: 

    Recording sales and invoices 

    Recording payments 

    Reconciling

    Paying bills 

    Processing payroll 

    Organizing accounting records 

    Preparing financial statements 

    Prep for your accountant 

    Clean-up messy books (especially for audits) 

  • Why do I need bookkeeping?

    If bookkeeping is starting to feel like a second job, and you’re beginning to feel overwhelmed with questions and errors, IT”S TIME. Bookkeepers take this work off your hands and ensure it’s correct and STAYS THAT WAY. 


    “Without proper bookkeeping, you’re just guessing.”

  • Do you offer in-person services?

    YES!

    If you’re located in the Hartford/Tolland County area in Connecticut, we can schedule our meetings locally if in person meetings are more comfortable for you. 

    We also offer 100% virtual bookkeeping services if that plan is more convenient for you. This means we can do bookkeeping for any state in the US. 

  • How much is this going to cost?

    Our plans can run as low as $150 a month. (Yes, you read that right)

    For a small business with less than 100 transactions a month, one bank account, who needs categorizing, reconciling, and sending reports, you can start as low as $150 a month. 

    The average bookkeeping cleanup at our company for a business this size will run about $300 a month. 

    A brand new startup business is as low as $99 for a one time set up fee in Quickbooks Online! (This does not include subscription to QBO, the client is responsible for all subscription fees.)

    Here at Ledger Leaf we want to be as transparent as possible with our prices. With that being said, every business is different, and has different needs. 

  • What affects pricing?

    The following things can affect what your monthly flat rate will be for services : 

    Number of transactions per month 

    Number of bank accounts 

    Level of cleanup needed (most businesses need cleanups before regular monthly services can begin)

    Payroll add-on + Number of employees 

    Bill pay + Invoicing add-on 

    What level of bookkeeping you desire (ex. Full Charge Bookkeeping) 

    How many meetings you’d like with us (We offer Monthly and Quarterly)
