Simple Pricing

One Flat Rate.
Everything Included.

No hourly billing. No surprise invoices. Your price is based on your monthly expenses — and it never changes unless your business grows.

📊

Based on Your Monthly Expenses

Your plan is sized to match your business volume — you only pay for what you actually need, not a one-size-fits-all rate.

💳

One Flat Monthly Rate

No hourly billing. No invoices for "extra" work. Your price is your price every month — predictable, budgeted, no drama.

✅

All 7 Services Included

Every plan includes all core bookkeeping services. Bank rec, P&L, reporting, AP/AR — nothing is gated behind a higher tier.

🚫

No Setup Fees. No Contracts.

Start with zero upfront cost and no long-term commitment. If it's not working for you, cancel anytime — zero penalty.

📈

Scale Up or Down Anytime

As your business grows, your plan adjusts with it. Slow month? Scale down. Big quarter? We scale up. No friction either way.

👤

A Dedicated Bookkeeper

A real person who knows your business — not a call center, not a chatbot. One consistent professional, every single month.

Our Values

What We
Stand For

We built Tides around four principles we refuse to compromise on. Every client, every month, no exceptions.

🔍

Transparency First

No hidden fees. No billing surprises. You always know exactly what you're paying, what's included, and what's happening with your books — before it happens.

✅

Accuracy Guaranteed

Every account reconciled, every transaction verified, every single month. Your numbers are right — or we fix it at no extra charge, no questions asked.

⚡

Always Responsive

Your bookkeeper responds fast. No waiting days for a reply, no support tickets, no call centers. Real answers from a real person who knows your business.

💡

Business-First Thinking

We don't just record transactions. We help you understand your numbers and make smarter decisions — so your books become a tool, not just a compliance requirement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does Tides Bookkeeping cost?

Tides uses flat monthly pricing that starts at $299/mo and scales with your business size — never hourly billing. You know the exact price up front. See our plans above or on the pricing page.

Do you work with businesses outside South Carolina?

Yes. Tides is 100% remote and serves small businesses across the United States. We are based in South Carolina but work with clients nationwide.

What bookkeeping software do you use?

We are QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisors and work primarily in QuickBooks Online. We can set it up for you or work inside your existing account.

How is Tides different from hiring an in-house bookkeeper?

You get a full bookkeeping team for one flat monthly fee — no salary, benefits, payroll taxes, or software costs — and you can scale the service up or down as your business changes.

Can you catch up months of past bookkeeping?

Yes. Our catch-up bookkeeping gets you current on months (or years) of behind books, quoted up front as a flat price — then we keep you current every month.
