PERIODIC TRANSACTIONAL BOOKKEEPING & ACCOUNTING* $0 Per Period
Type of Accounting Service

Transactional Periodic Accounting Service is generally considered reactive and after-the-fact because the bookkeeping and accounting work is being done after the accounting period (month/quarter/year) has ended. This means we’re reporting on the historical events that have already happened and limited or no proactive corrective actions may be available after the fact.

Up to 4 weeks of onboarding.

Number of Transactions in a Reporting Period per Company/Location
