Case Study: QuickBooks Expert from Colombia at $1,800/Month
Compared to a local in-house bookkeeper (40 hrs/week)
- Average U.S. salary: $42K–$46K/year → $3,200–$3,500/month.
- With payroll taxes & benefits, true cost = $50K–$60K/year ($4,100–$5,000/month).
- Savings with our solution: ~$1,400–$3,200/month (40–55%).
Compared to a CPA firm retainer
- Many firms charge $700–$2,000+/month just for bookkeeping.
- Despite the cost, Southern Crown’s books were still not tax-ready.
- Our solution gives full-time, dedicated support for only slightly more than the low end of CPA retainer fees, but with much higher accuracy and control.
Compared to outsourced bookkeeping services
- Outsourced services typically cost $250–$1,500/month, but only cover limited transactions and reconciliations (not AR/AP, job costing, or detailed reporting).
- Our solution delivers full-time, 40-hour/week coverage at a competitive rate, essentially replacing a $50K/year employee for just $21,600/year.
Southern Crown now gets the value of a full-time U.S. bookkeeper (plus construction-specific expertise) for less than half the cost. They save $20K–$35K per year while gaining clean books, accurate statements, and peace of mind at tax time.
