Bookkeeping & Your Bottom line

Brian Fournier Bookkeeping has been around in one form or another for over 14 years. Our main goal is to give startup and small businesses of all types access to bookkeeping services at a reasonable price.

Brian Fournier Bookkeeping Services Plus offers its professional bookkeeping services and advice to all small and medium size businesses (including Home Offices, Self Employed and Corporations) at competitive prices. Most bookkeeping and accounting work is done off-site unless otherwise requested. Our associates pick up and process the records, returning them to you on a regular basis.

We will save you time by processing your suppliers invoices, preparing the cheques to pay your suppliers (if requested), prepare and submit your sales invoices (if necessary), submit all payroll deductions, GST Returns, PST Returns and all other finance and administrative matters.

We will also save you money since our competitive rates are generally lower than it would cost you to hire a full time or part time bookkeeper and accountant. Once the bookkeeping work is completed, we will also provide accounting services including monthly or yearly financial statements and other reports where appropriate.

Our prices are designed to fit your needs. We determine your costs with you on an ongoing basis.

We offer two pricing options:

We offer both Fixed Flat Rate Pricing or hourly based rate pricing.

Flat Rate Pricing:
Our fee for bookkeeping service is based upon the volume of transactions in a reporting period and also on the overall complexity of your business. Factors affecting our fee structure include:

• Number of customer invoices
• Number of checks written
• Number of employees and pay frequency
• Financial and management reports requirement
• Number of bank accounts and credit card accounts to be reconciled
• Inventory
• Current state of your accounting records
• other misc. items

Our typical start up package is $250/month which includes 8 hours of bookkeeping service each month. Extra time is charged at $30 an hour. The fee does not include out of pocket expenses, for example, postage and stationery.

Hourly Base rate Pricing:
Our rates varies between $27.50 to $40.00 per hour depending on level on complexity and volume. Our pricing is highly competitive and vary depending on whether the service being provided is on-site or an off-site service. A brief summary has been included below. We are to some degree flexible on the billing rate, so if you have any questions please contact us for more details.

Offsite Pricing:
Flat Fee of $27.50 to $32.50 per hour. (Setup fee not included.)
The total hours of service each month depends on the size of your company and the services required.

Onsite Pricing:
Flat Fee of between $35.00 to $40.00 per hour. The total hours of service each month also depends upon the number of transactions processed and the size of the company and the services that are required.

Please note: that currently as of March 2009, there is only one (1) onsite day slot available.

Rule of thumb:
Wondering how much you should expect to be paying to have your bookkeeping done for you by a qualified person? A great rule of thumb is to use $.55 and $.65 per transaction as the lower and upper estimated cost for these sort of services.
