Doing your own books is not free. It costs hours, and those hours have a value. Answer a few questions to see the number for yourself, and what it costs to get those hours back.
Categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, fixing what did not match, pulling reports.
What you charge a client for an hour of your work.
That works out to {{ derivedRateLabel }} an hour.
Zero if you are current.
A quote takes eight questions and comes back within a business day. If you would rather just talk it through, either of these works.

Your weekly hours times 52, less about an hour a month to review what I send you, times what an hour of your time is worth. Handing the books off does not take your time to zero, and the number above does not pretend it does.
What it leaves out: missed deductions, penalties, interest, and the cost of a mistake nobody caught. Those are real and they are not in this number, which means your actual cost is higher than what you see above.
If the number is small and the work does not bother you, that is a real answer. Plenty of owners handle their own books for years and it is fine.
If you are months behind, the backlog is its own problem. A catch-up gets you to a clean starting point without committing to anything monthly.
If those hours are worth more spent elsewhere, monthly bookkeeping takes it off your plate for good. Monthly bookkeeping is quoted on your volume and complexity.
Answer eight questions about your books and I will come back with a quote within one business day. If you would rather talk it through first, that works too.
