Clean books, kept current, without hiring a bookkeeper
Bookkeeping probably isn't why you started your business. But when it's handled well, everything else gets easier. You know where your money is going, your reports make sense, and you can answer a lender's or partner's questions without digging through a spreadsheet.
Beankeeper's bookkeeping handles the recurring cash-basis work that keeps your books clean and current all year, starting at $200 a month. It's built for growing companies that need accurate records without building an accounting department.
Here's what lands in order every month
Beankeeper's bookkeeping covers the three recurring jobs that give a growing business a record it can trust.
- Cash-basis transaction coding. We code your day-to-day transactions so every payment and deposit lands in the right category, and you get a clear picture of where money came from and where it went.
- Monthly bank and credit-card reconciliations. We reconcile your accounts every month so your books match reality, which catches missing, duplicated, or mismatched entries before they reach your reports.
- Month-end reports you can read. You get a balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement at close, in plain form: what the business owns and owes, how income and expenses moved, and how your cash changed.
None of it feels impersonal. Beankeeper is AI-enabled, never AI-replaced. We use modern tools to cut the repetitive work, then a finance professional who knows your business reviews the result and tells you what it means. If a number needs context, you get a clear answer from a real person.
Beankeeper runs a US-led team with execution across the Americas, including Buenos Aires. That structure keeps a focused bookkeeping package possible at $200 a month, with scope centered on recurring cash-basis work so you're not paying for Controller, FP&A, or Fractional CFO work you don't need.
Is bookkeeping the right starting point for you?
Revenue gives you a rough idea, but your day-to-day situation says more. Bookkeeping is often the right starting point for a founder-led business under $500,000 in revenue, or a company at the lower end of the $500,000 to $3-million range with straightforward needs. It tends to fit when:
- You've been coding transactions and reconciling accounts yourself.
- Your current bookkeeper is leaving and you need continuity.
- Transaction volume has outgrown what an owner or office manager can keep up with.
- You need dependable month-end statements but not yet AP, AR, payroll, forecasting, or senior guidance.
We work across industries, including professional services, ecommerce, hospitality, real estate, retail, restaurants, and marketing. And we don't only work with founders. If you already have an accounting manager, Head of Finance, or CFO, we can be the experienced extra set of hands behind them rather than another full-time hire.
Where bookkeeping ends and Controller picks up
Bookkeeping keeps the records in good shape: coding, reconciliations, and month-end statements. Controller is the step up, and it includes everything in Bookkeeping, plus an owner for the recurring finance work: AP and AR management, payroll processing, check-run and collections follow-up, monthly management reporting, and two meetings a month with Kevin.
You won't outgrow us. When you're ready for a full owner on the finance work, Controller is the step up. And when you want forward-looking planning or senior financial leadership, FP&A and fractional CFO support are there as their own services, ready to add whenever the timing fits.

How much does outsourced bookkeeping cost?
Beankeeper's bookkeeping starts at $200 a month. Your price depends on things like transaction volume and how many bank, credit-card, or other accounts are in scope. See our pricing page for current starting ranges.
What do you need from me to get started?
Access to the bookkeeping systems and the bank and credit-card accounts in scope, plus any existing files that show where the books stand today. In the first week we confirm access, review what's there, and flag anything missing before recurring work starts.
Do you handle taxes?
We don't prepare returns. We keep your books so clean and organized that your tax professional receives records they can work with, which makes the whole season easier. We can point you to a trusted tax partner when you need one.
