FAQ

Pricing Questions

Which bookkeeping plan should I choose?

Start with your monthly transaction volume and the number of bank and credit card accounts. We’ll review both before confirming a plan. If they fall into different tiers, or your business has more complex needs, we’ll explain the recommended plan and price before you sign up.

Do I need to catch up on my books before contacting you?

No. Tell us which months are complete and which are behind. We’ll review the records and quote any catch-up work separately before ongoing bookkeeping starts.

Are tax returns included in bookkeeping?

No. Tax preparation is priced separately. Your monthly bookkeeping service includes a year-end package that can be used to prepare the return.

Will I pay for bookkeeping again when you prepare my tax return?

We don’t charge a second bookkeeping fee for months already maintained under your SILVERTIDE plan. If other months or records need work, we’ll review and quote that separately.

How will we share records and stay in touch?

We’ll agree on the document-sharing process and where to send questions when we get started. Your quote and onboarding instructions will explain what we need from you.

Do you only work with Southern California businesses?

Southern California is our focus. We also work remotely with businesses outside the region when our services are a good fit.

Can you use cash or accrual accounting?

Both are available. We’ll review your business and confirm the accounting method and any additional requirements before starting.

How is payroll priced?

Payroll starts at $100 per month for one employee, plus $25 per month for each additional employee. We’ll confirm the work included before service begins.

Is the client portal available?

The client portal is not open yet. Please contact your SILVERTIDE representative for help with records or questions.
