No hourly billing. No year-end true-up. No surprise invoice because a month ran heavy. We quote against transaction volume, account count and basis of accounting — then we hold that price for a year.
All plans include a named bookkeeper, controller review and month-to-month terms.

Add-ons
Add scope when you need it. Every add-on is quoted at these rates before work begins, and appears as its own line on the invoice.
Historical reconstruction, per month of back books at medium complexity.
Full-cycle payroll on your platform, beyond the seats in your plan.
Vendor onboarding, approval routing and scheduled payment runs.
A second or third set of books closed on the same cadence, with intercompany eliminations.
Landed-cost tracking, periodic counts reconciled, and margin reporting by SKU or channel.
Eight hours monthly of forecasting, modeling and board support.
How we quote
Two companies at identical revenue can land hundreds of dollars apart, and it is never arbitrary. Here is the exact list we score on the consult call — you will see the same list on your quote.
The single largest driver. Counted across all connected accounts.
Every bank, card, processor and wallet is a separate reconciliation.
Multi-entity work means eliminations; multi-state means filings.
GAAP accrual carries real work that cash basis does not.
Subscriptions, deferrals, milestones and inventory each add scope.
Cleanup is quoted once, separately, so it never inflates your monthly.
Payroll, bill pay, extra entities and CFO work are priced as named add-ons.
Pricing questions
Because we don’t do it. Trandock is a bookkeeping firm — we close books, we don’t file returns, and we don’t give tax advice. Every plan includes a year-end package built for whoever does file, in their format, with every adjusting entry sourced. You keep your own preparer and we coordinate with them directly.
We tell you before you find out on an invoice. Volume is reviewed quarterly; if you have moved a tier we walk through the new quote with you and it takes effect the following month. We never backdate a rate change, and we never bill an overage without a conversation first.
Standard onboarding — access setup, chart of accounts review and opening balance true-up for a business with current books — is included. If your books need historical cleanup, that is quoted as a separate one-time fee at $375 per month of back books so it never gets buried in your monthly rate.
Twelve months prepaid up front. That is the only difference — the scope, the team and the terms are identical. If you cancel mid-year we refund the unused months at the monthly rate, less the discount already applied to months you used.
No, and we do not resell it either. You own the subscription directly, which means you own the file. Budget $30–$130 per month for QuickBooks Online depending on the plan your scope requires; we will tell you which one on the consult call.
We ask for three months so the first two closes are not judged on books we inherited mid-cleanup. After that it is month to month with 30 days’ notice, and you leave with the ledger file and a complete document export.
An acquisition, an audit, a financing round or a one-time restatement is scoped and quoted as a project before we start. Your monthly fee does not move because of it. Normal variability — a heavier month, a messy vendor, an extra reconciliation — is absorbed in the flat fee. That is the point of the flat fee.
Tell us your transaction volume and entity structure. We will tell you the tier and the number in one call — before you have to decide anything.
