It’s the first real question every business owner asks, and most accounting firms dodge it with “it depends.” It does depend — but you still deserve a straight answer before you book a call. Here’s how outsourced accounting is actually priced in Kaysville, what drives the number up or down, and how it compares to the alternative of hiring in-house.
FJ & Associates, PLLC (CPAONE) prices on a flat-rate basis — predictable monthly fees, not hourly billing that surprises you on the invoice.

What Drives the Price
Outsourced accounting isn’t one product — it’s a bundle you can size to your business. Your cost depends on:
- Transaction volume — more accounts and more activity means more to reconcile each month
- Services included — bookkeeping only, or bookkeeping + payroll + tax + advisory
- Complexity — multiple entities, inventory, multi-state activity, or job costing add work
- Cleanup needed — if your books are behind, there’s a one-time catch-up before monthly maintenance
The advantage of flat-rate pricing is that once we scope these, your monthly number is fixed. You can budget around it.

Outsourcing vs. Hiring In-House
A full-time bookkeeper in Utah runs $45,000–$60,000+ in salary, plus payroll taxes, benefits, software, and management time — and you still don’t get CPA-level review or tax expertise. For most Kaysville small businesses, outsourcing to a CPA firm delivers more (licensed oversight, integrated tax and payroll, advisory) for a fraction of that cost, with none of the hiring risk.
The real ROI isn’t just the cost difference, either — it’s the time you get back and the errors and missed deductions you avoid.

Pricing FAQs
Is outsourced accounting cheaper than hiring someone? For most small businesses, yes — outsourcing costs well under a full-time salary while adding CPA oversight and tax integration you can’t get from a single bookkeeper hire.
Do you charge hourly? Recurring services are flat-rate so you know your monthly cost in advance. Some one-time work (like cleanup) may be quoted hourly or as a fixed project fee.
What’s the cheapest way to start? Many businesses start with monthly bookkeeping and add payroll, tax, or advisory as they grow. We’ll recommend the right starting scope on your call.
Are there setup or onboarding fees? Some services (e.g., payroll) include a modest one-time onboarding fee. We disclose any setup costs in your quote up front.
