I would hire a bookkeeping service for $99.95 as that's a great deal.
I would hire a bookkeeping service as long as it's reliable and kind when contact my customers.
As an accountant, I would charge customers $110-$125 a month for this service.
That is way too expensive for me and my business as it is not really something I need to be spending that much on.
I have no need for this, because my business is small and easy to take care of
I am very likely to to hire a bookkeeping service if it saved you time and cost as little as $99.95/mo.
I wouldn't hire them. I spend money on things that give me a good return on investment. I'm sure an accountant would
Seems like too much for just simple bookkeeping service. Most can be done with a simple excell program.
$100/month is way too much for a small business like me.
not interested at that price
This is extremely reasonably priced and I would gladly pay it.
As an owner I would pay for someone, as an accountant I would charge much more than I should
I would not because i am able to do this all myself.
I would pay $99.95 compared to what I pay right now and compared to knowing that I am capable of doing ..the bookkeeping work that they do I simply can't do it I don't have time and so the time to learn I don't mind paying I'd probably pay twice as much because it stresses me out that bad and I know that its well worth every penny.
I would never hire a bookkeeping service as I feel it is too critical. If my service required a lot of attention, I would hire a proper certified accountant or otherwise realize my business was failing if I could not afford one.
Yes I would consider using a bookkeeping service that cost as little as $99.95 per month. It depends on the scope and allowed amount of contact and response time for questions.
I think that it a reasonable price for the product which I find great and would definitely use it
It really depends on the budget of the business. For my personal judgement, I think the cost is somewhat high for small business. The person in the scenario could do the work without paying the money to others. In addition, without knowing the quality of the service, it is unwise to pay the monthly fee for the service.
I would be open to the idea. Depending on what they offer and if it would save me time on what I already have and do.
The fact that this service will save me time and increase my productivity makes me more likely to use it.
I would be willing because it will save my time which I can utilize in other things and also my records will be kept safely
No I wouldn't when there are plenty of cheaper alternatives.
I have my business and i am planing to expand it so I might need service like this in near future. I think it might be a great option as it is definitely cheaper than hiring a person. I would need to lear more about features but quick answer is yes. Also, I think giving a better price would be beneficial since the offered amount might be a lot for small businesses.
It would depend on the size of the business and how much time it would save me monthly. If it saved me 5 hours of work or more, I think it would be worth it.
If the business is a small business that is too high. I am a bookkeeper and for a small business the most I would charge is $50 a month. However if it is a large business then this is reasonable amount. This would also depend on what services are provided. If it is straight bookkeeping than keep it small. If it includes payroll, reports, general accounting then the price would be in line.
Not likely - I don't need this service
For my small business, this monthly cost is too high. Although this service is more convenient, I think I'll just use excel to save 100 bucks per month.
I don't know if I need that as I don't have a lot of work happening.
I would use this service if I needed too
For a smaller business still seems a bit pricey. But depending on what all is given with the service will determine the value
I may entertain this idea but it depends on the services that this company can offer for me.
I would consider hiring a professional bookkeeper in order to keep compliant with tax laws and regulations, reducing the risk of costly penalties or legal issues. Hiring a bookkeeping service can provide peace of mind, and a time saver as well
It might work, so I can see this being effective such as for small businesses like a food truck business. I would expect that the business makes $200,000 to $500,000 a year to be ideal for a service like this.
A bookkeeper is generally less expensive to employ and as a business owner I would definitely hire a service which costs as little as the above given rate. If I am accountant I would always like to increase my client base with such services but the rate may be ok for a small business network where 3-4 hours work is sufficient for a month, but I would charge more depending on the scale of business if the business is big enough and involves more hours to maintain the accounts.
If it saved alot of time and money I would definitely be interested in it
I would use it if they were able to save me 3 or more hours a month. That would be worth it for $100
I wouldn't be likely to hire a bookkeeping service at 99.95 a month because I feel that I would have sufficient time savings to justify that amount for my one person business.
Not very likely. I run help run a small business and most of the time we can't afford expenses like this. It is much easier for us to do bookkeeping ourselves. I'm not an accountant but a scalable fee for the size of the business is a must.
I don't think it's worth at least $100 a month for the time it would save me
I would as a business owner, i think that would be so cool
If i could see a savings behind it. It would have to save me at least 100 each month every month.
If the amount of time saved means I could complete more projects and therefore increase revenue then it would make sense. For someone just starting out it may be a bit much but after being in business a for awhile this could be a decent thing to evaluate.
I would not be very likely to hire a bookkeeping service, even if it cost as little as $99.95/mo. I have a background in finance/accounting and my business is small enough that I am able to keep the books myself without any issues.
That really depends on the volume/profit of my business. with my current business I am not generating enough business to warrant a $99 per month price tag.
I would pass. There are cheap options.
I would say that less then $100.00 a month depending on the number of employees and the companies revenue is a very good deal. That being said the average accountant makes very little these days (about 28.99 an hour) so if I were an accountant I would double my rate to make it worth taking on such a service.
If I am the former (business owner) I would definitely pay that price. If was the latter, accountant, I would not mark up the price.
If I was a business owner I would not incur any additional expense for bookkeeping. If I was an accountant I would be 100% likely to mark up a service like this and offer it to my clients. As an owner it's important to cut down on all expenses to save money, but as an accountant it's important to mark up services like this in order to make more money.
As a business owner it would be of great benefit for me to have a service like this. I have spent a lot of time having to deal with all of the numbers and all of the accounting on my own.This would be a lot easier if I had somebody on my side that could help deal with the finances. I do realize however this would come with the cost and at 99. 95. I would not be able to afford that yet but if my business started to take off and is able to make more commissions and more sales than this would, be a great opportunity for me to help improve my business by making it more efficient.
As a small business owner, that seems too expensive. It would have to include preparing the taxes for me to even consider.
