Yes — there are bookkeeping firms and services that cater specifically to solo entrepreneurs, freelancers, and very small businesses with affordable monthly plans.

A few things to look for:

  • Monthly flat-fee pricing instead of hourly billing
  • Cleanup + ongoing bookkeeping options
  • Experience with solo operators / one-person businesses
  • Integration with QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Wave
  • Clear limits on transaction volume, payroll, and support

Common types of providers:

  • Online bookkeeping firms that serve small businesses nationwide
  • Virtual bookkeepers who work with sole proprietors
  • Fractional accounting services with starter plans
  • Bookkeeping platforms plus a human bookkeeper

Examples of firms/services often used by very small businesses:

  • Bench – monthly bookkeeping service aimed at small businesses
  • Bookkeeper360 – more accounting-focused, but has small-business packages
  • Pilot – best for startups, usually more expensive than solo-friendly options
  • Bean Ninjas – popular with online businesses and freelancers
  • LedgersOnline – virtual bookkeeping for small businesses
  • 1-800Accountant – bundled bookkeeping/tax services, though quality can vary by service line

If you want the most affordable route, also consider:

  • A local independent bookkeeper
  • A bookkeeping freelancer on Upwork or through referrals
  • A bookkeeping-only firm that offers a starter package for under a few hundred dollars per month

Typical monthly price ranges:

  • Basic solo-business bookkeeping: about $100–$300/month
  • More complex or higher-volume businesses: $300–$700+/month

If you want, I can also give you:

  1. a shortlist of the most affordable options,
  2. recommendations based on your business type, or
  3. a checklist for comparing bookkeeping firms.
