Part time bookkeepers will charge between $400 and $800 per month for basic bookkeeping, excluding the benefits. For full time services, expect to pay from $3,000 to $4,500 per month without the benefits.

A Bookkeeper is responsible for recording and maintaining a business' financial transactions, such as purchases, expenses, sales revenue, invoices, and payments. They will record financial data into general ledgers, which are used to produce the balance sheet and income statement.

Bookkeepers and accountants sometimes do the same work, but have a different skill set. In general, a bookkeeper's role is to record transactions and keep you financially organized, while accountants provide consultation, analysis, and are more qualified to advise on tax matters.

Bookkeeping is definitely tedious since the bookkeeper needs to manage financial information both in digital and physical platforms, but the job becomes much more difficult if the person-in-charge is not cultivating healthy habits that allow them and their team to keep things organized.
