SERVICES & Pricing

When you sign up for any of the Accounting Services, you will receive a detailed email with next steps. We make this as straightforward and painless for you as possible. If you are in QuickBooks Desktop, you will upload your file for us to convert through our secure portal. If you are in QuickBooks Online, you  will add us to your account (or purchase an account through our site at a deep discount), upload your QuickBooks Desktop file to our secure portal. You will provied your  login credentials for QuickBooks and BridalLive and that is pretty much it. We will reach out to you if we have any questions. All of our steps are laid out, and we contact you if we hit a snag. We have systems set up on our end so that you don’t have to worry about what comes next. Just relax and wait for the work to get done!

Sometimes are working with a bookkeeper and/or CPA that is doing a great job with their books and taxes, but isn’t providing the high-level advising. In these cases, there are two options. For people looking for a one-on-one advising relationship, I will work with you at the Profit Advisor Level and back out the cost of Basic Bookkeeping. This relationship only works if your books are being done accurately and on time, to high standards. The reason is that you need a foundation of good financial data in order to move to the next step of strengthening the profitability of your business through data-backed decisions-making. Because I find that most CPAs/bookkeepers are not able to serve bridal stores at the same level that we are, I provide this option reluctantly. If you are interested in this option, you can email me at ingrid@butterflyrevolution.com. Option 2 is to join the Profit First Bridal Boot Camp & Financial Mastery Program – a bit less one-on-one support, but still a great way to get high level guidance.

We consider monthly accounting complete when all transactions for the month have been categorized and reconciled. We also perform two sets of cross-checks across all accounts to make sure that there are no duplicate transactions and to make sure that no errors were made after account reconciliation. If there are any transactions that we don’t recognize according to your account history and our knowledge of your account, we will send you a list within your account log at month-end to make sure we categorize them correctly.

When our clients first come to us, there is often a big effort involved in getting a working financial foundation in place. We want to be able to get our new clients up and running without a big upfront investment. Some of our services therefore include a one-year commitment. If you sign an engagment letter and agree to a full year engagement, you agree to pay 50% of the remaining years balance, should you decide to cancel early. This is our way of providing the highest possible service at the lowest upfront cost, while reducing risk within our own business.

If you are looking for full-service payroll – where we run the payroll for you – we are happy to talk. Pricing depends on the number of employees, the frequency of your payroll runs, and the complexity of your staffing situation. We use Gusto Payroll plus T-Sheets for timekeeping. If you run your own payroll but just need a little assist with set-up or at tax time, we support you in our Advanced Accounting and Pro-Advisor Plans.

We do offer some services a la carte. Some of them are listed above! Some fees can be avoided by committing to an annual engagement. Other services outside of the scope of basic bookkeeping are available at a discounted hourly rate. If you find that you need many of the services on the list, we recommend moving to a higher level of service. If you have questions about which option is right for you, feel free to get in touch! We are always interested in pairing you with the service that is most appropriate to your needs and stage of business!
