Four tiers. One partnership.
Priced to match the complexity of your business — not a race to the bottom. Every package includes BDB Project Tools, the software that makes accurate job costing and real-time dashboards actually possible.
Pick the tier that matches your business.
Every engagement is custom-scoped inside its tier — there is no single "price" for bookkeeping. The starting rate below is the floor. Your final quote reflects transaction volume, team size, entity structure, and reporting depth. Each tier serves a specific size range — see full scope & fit parameters to check where your business fits.

* Delivered through BDB Project Tools. Included free with every package. Starred items require your team to adopt Timekeeper (labor) and Receipt Capture (materials) so data flows in cleanly. It's the reason we can price at these levels — Project Tools is doing the work a bookkeeping assistant used to do, and doing it better.
Is my business a fit for one of these tiers?
Each tier is built for a specific size range — revenue, transactions, team size, complexity. Businesses above or below those ranges get better service through a custom engagement. Check the full scope and fit parameters before booking a call.
Standalone services, if you don't need a full monthly package.
These are the pay-as-you-go prices for clients who aren't ready for a monthly engagement. All of these are already included in the relevant packages above — nobody pays for them twice.
Chart of accounts, Products & Services, bank and credit card feeds, and Project Tools configuration. Scoped on your first call.
Included free in Contractor Essentials & Pro
Historical cleanup of prior-year or multi-year books. Priced based on volume and complexity. Required before Essentials or Pro engagements if your books aren't current.
EIN, state registration, sales tax licensing, contractor licensing guidance. See the Business Setup page for full detail.
Operating in multiple states or running multiple entities? Pro and Fractional CFO packages handle this; scope is priced per entity.
We're not the cheapest option. That's the point.
Accuracy you can bid against.
Your numbers should be accurate enough that you win work with them. That takes care, not a bookkeeping bot. We verify, reconcile, and build reports that hold up under pressure.
Strategy included, not extra.
Every tier includes review meetings. Your engagement isn't "delivery of reports" — it's a rhythm of decisions. That's what you're paying for.
Project Tools built in.
Competing field software (Jobber, Housecall Pro, FieldPulse, JobTread) runs $65 to $500+/mo for 20 seats. BDB Project Tools is included free with every package — so your books and your jobs become the same system, not two systems you reconcile.
Pricing FAQ
Why don't you just show one price?
Because no two businesses have the same scope. A 10-transaction-per-month solo contractor and a 2,000-transaction-per-month four-crew GC are different engagements. The tiers tell you which floor applies; the strategy call tells you the exact number.
What's the difference between Essentials and Pro?
Essentials works when your crew is disciplined with Project Tools — hours logged, materials captured, W-9s on file. Pro handles the complexity that comes with scale — higher volume, more vendors, multi-service-line reporting, mixed payment types, and a monthly rather than quarterly strategic rhythm. Both tiers expect Project Tools adoption; Pro just includes more depth.
Do you require annual contracts?
No. Every engagement is month-to-month with 30 days' notice. We earn the relationship every month.
Are setup fees waivable?
They're bundled at no extra cost inside Contractor Essentials and Pro. Basic Business clients pay setup separately. Complex migrations (multi-entity, multi-year backlog) are quoted individually.
Do you file my taxes?
No. We build a CPA-ready year-end package and coordinate directly with your tax accountant at no extra cost. If you don't have one, we can refer you.
What if I'm already using QuickBooks Online?
Perfect. We plug into your existing file after a quick audit. Pro tier clients often need a chart-of-accounts rebuild to support job-level reporting.
Can I upgrade tiers as we grow?
Yes. Most Pro clients started in Essentials. Most Fractional CFO engagements start as an add-on to Pro.
What happens on the strategy call?
30 minutes. We learn your business, your current state, and your goals. You'll leave with a clear recommendation — which tier, what scope, what setup is needed, and a real price. If we're not the right fit, we'll tell you.
Why is Project Tools included free?
Because it's the reason we can deliver this level of service at these prices. The tools replace the "bookkeeping assistant" role entirely — crews self-report clean data, and we focus on analysis and strategy. You get a better outcome. We get a scalable business. Everyone wins.
Find out which tier fits your business.
30 minutes. Free. No sales script. We'll tell you straight whether we're a fit — and what working together would actually cost.
