QuickBooks, Xero, spreadsheets or nothing set up yet — all fine. Early preview: requests aren't sent anywhere yet.
Family restaurant · Ohio · catch-up, then monthly
- About 7 months behind
- Spreadsheets + POS exports
- 2 bank accounts, 1 card
- Revenue $250k–$500k (self-reported)
- Budget: not sure yet
Two ways firms might approach it
Firm A · Kettle Ledger (fictional)
Project cleanup, then a fixed monthly package
- Service scope
- Catch-up project, then monthly reconciliation and reports
- Software
- Sets up QuickBooks Online; imports POS summaries
- Pricing approach
- Cleanup quoted after a file review; monthly fee set by volume
Trade-off: No payroll — you'd keep a separate payroll provider.
Firm B · Brightside Books (fictional)
Hourly catch-up with a written estimate; monthly optional
- Service scope
- Catch-up focus; monthly offered separately
- Software
- QuickBooks Online or Xero
- Pricing approach
- Hourly with an estimate and cap agreed upfront
Trade-off: Final cost depends on hours — agree a cap before starting.

How it's meant to work
A person reviews your need. You make the choice.
FinRoster doesn't do bookkeeping. The firms you'd speak with are independent businesses that set their own scope and price.
Today this is a demonstration: nothing is reviewed, sent or booked yet.

Across industries
Small businesses of every kind
Contractors are one specialization among many. Our guides explain what bookkeeping looks like in each field and what to ask a firm.
What we promise
Honest by design
Up to three, not always three
Only firms that suit the work. Sometimes one, sometimes none — and we'd tell you.
Scope and price made clear
What's included, what isn't, and how each firm sets a quote. Price is agreed with the firm.
Honest about the business model
Our proposed model is that bookkeeping firms pay FinRoster for requests. Terms aren't final.
