03 · The Problem
Serious accounting help shouldn’t require a six-figure hire.
A short look at what your accounting hire really costs.
Building Up$0& climbing
I. The Impossible Choice
Pay sixty to ninety thousand — or patch it together.
Most small and mid-sized U.S. businesses face the same impossible choice: pay $60,000–$90,000 a year for a domestic accounting hire they can barely afford — or patch things together with part-time support that never quite keeps up.
Year One, Loaded$0
II. The Result
One-thirty-three. And the books are still late.
Messy books, delayed reporting, lender headaches, and a business owner spending weekends worrying about month-end close or invoice recording instead of growing their company.
