What monthly work with us costs
The starting price for monthly work, what it applies to, and how to ask about one-off work.
How much does Total BizSolutions charge?
Total BizSolutions LLC, an accounting firm in Trumbull, Connecticut, prices its monthly work starting at $500/month. Monthly work means the services that run every month, such as bookkeeping and payroll. That is where the price starts, and your own figure depends on what you hand over. One-off work, such as a tax return, is not part of the starting price, so ask about it on a first call. Call (267) 710-6742, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
What the starting price applies to
The starting price applies to monthly work: the services that run every month, such as bookkeeping with its monthly reporting, and payroll. It is a floor, not a package. Ask for your own monthly figure on a first call.
One-off work sits outside it. That includes catch-up bookkeeping, QuickBooks Online setup, tax returns and tax resolution. New business formation is outside it as well. We do not publish figures for those, so ask about them when you call.

Who monthly work with us suits
Best for
- Small businesses that want the books kept each month and payroll run by the same firm
- Owners who want their returns prepared from books that are kept during the year
- Owners who are behind and want the books caught up, then kept current
- Small businesses in Connecticut and throughout the United States
Not the best fit
- Businesses with only a handful of transactions a year, where monthly work may be more than the books need.
- Anyone who needs an audit, review or compilation of their financial statements, or representation before the IRS. Our guide to choosing a small business accountant covers when a different kind of firm is the better fit.
How to ask for your figure
List what you want handed over
Bookkeeping only, or bookkeeping and payroll, plus any one-off work you already know you need.
Say how current the books are
If the books are behind, say so on the call. Catch-up bookkeeping is one-off work, so ask about it separately.
Book a first call
Call (267) 710-6742 or book a consultation online, and ask what your monthly figure comes to.
Get the scope in writing
Whoever you hire, ask for the monthly work in writing: which accounts get reconciled, which reports you get and whether payroll is part of it. That is how you check the bill against the work.
