Frequently asked questions
Everything business owners ask us before switching to Accounsel.
What types of small businesses do you work with?
We work with a wide range of small businesses across many industries. Our team takes the time to learn how your business actually operates, so we can support it the right way.
Is my bookkeeping outsourced overseas?
No. Every member of our team is based in the United States. Your books and financial data never leave the country.
How is outsourced bookkeeping different from hiring in-house?
Hiring in-house means one person, plus salary, benefits, payroll tax, and training, plus a gap whenever they're out. Outsourcing to Accounsel gives you a full team behind your books at a fraction of the cost, with no turnover risk.
How often will my books actually be updated?
Almost every day. Most bookkeeping services touch your books weekly or monthly. We're in yours daily, so nothing piles up and nothing gets missed.
Will my books be ready for tax season?
Yes. Because we're reconciling daily, your books are clean and tax-ready by January, with no year-end scramble.
What if I already work with a CPA?
That's common, and it's a good pairing. We keep your day-to-day books clean and reconciled, and your CPA handles filing and strategy. We're happy to work directly with them.
What does it cost to outsource my bookkeeping?
It depends on the size and complexity of your business. Schedule a call and we'll walk through your needs and give you a straight answer, no generic pricing tiers.
How do we get started?
Schedule a call. We'll learn your business, connect your accounts, and get your books current, usually with no disruption on your end.
