Results are estimates for orientation, not a LedgerBPO price. Pricing depends on volume and scope, so we send a custom quote within 1 business day. Updated September 2026 ## How the calculator works The calculator places your transaction volume into a band (under 150, 150 to 400, 400 to 1,000, over 1,000), starts from the published range for that band in your market, adds an allowance per additional bank or card account beyond the second, and adds a reporting multiplier for management commentary or KPI packs. The in-house figure is the published loaded cost of a full-time bookkeeper in that market, shown for comparison only. ## Assumptions and sources - US ranges: $150 to $1,600 per month across bands; review-backed plans typically $400 to $800 (indinero, RadCity, NerdWallet, 2026). - UK ranges: £100 to £1,500 per month fixed fees; £150 to £400 for 50 to 200 transactions (UK provider pricing surveys, 2026). - Canada ranges: C$300 to C$2,000 per month; most SMBs C$400 to C$800 (Outsource Bookkeeping CA, TheAccTaxCo, 2026). - Australia ranges: A$300 to A$1,500 per month for a typical small business (Australian bookkeeping fee surveys, 2026). - In-house loaded cost: about $6,000 per month in the US (RadCity, UseCalcPro, 2026); UK salary £24,700 to £32,100 plus employer NI at 15%; Canada C$45,000 to C$60,000; Australia A$65,000 to A$85,000 (typical advertised ranges on national job boards, 2026) plus on-costs. - This is not a LedgerBPO price.

No. The calculator shows published market ranges for orientation. Pricing depends on volume and scope, so we send a custom quote within 1 business day after a short call about your entities, accounts and software. ### Why does transaction volume matter so much? Volume drives the hours a bookkeeper spends categorizing, matching receipts and reconciling. A business with 1,000 monthly transactions across six accounts needs several times the work of one with 100 transactions and a single account, which is why every provider prices by band. ### What counts as a transaction? Any line that hits a bank, card or payment-processor feed: a sale, a purchase, a payout, a fee, a transfer. Invoices and bills you issue also count when we process them for you. Your accounting software's bank feed shows the monthly total. ### Does the estimate include invoicing, AR follow-up or payroll? No. The ranges are for bookkeeping only. Invoicing, accounts receivable follow-up, billing calls, accounts payable and payroll support are quoted separately or as part of a bundle, which is why the custom quote is more useful than any calculator. ### How accurate are the market ranges? They come from published 2026 pricing guides and provider surveys listed under assumptions. Providers change prices, so treat the ranges as a starting point and check the sources for the current figures. Next step ## Books closed. Invoices paid. Every month.
