Why Bookkeeping Prices Vary Between Firms


Not all bookkeeping services are built the same—and that’s exactly why pricing can vary so much between companies. Some firms rely on outdated processes, manual data entry, and slow review cycles. Others, like us at Hayson Accounting, invest heavily in modern technology, automation, and AI-driven tools that streamline workflows and improve accuracy.


Here are the biggest factors that influence price differences:


  • Technology Level – Firms that use automation, AI, and integrated cloud systems (like QBO, Dext, Zapier flows, and data-streaming tools) can complete work faster and more accurately. This reduces manual labour and keeps costs transparent and fair.
  • Experience & Specialization – Industry-specific bookkeeping (hospitality, construction, retail, e-commerce) requires deeper knowledge, which may affect pricing.
  • Scope of Work – Transaction volume, payroll complexity, GST/PST filing frequency, and the number of bank feeds all impact the cost.
  • Clean-Up Requirements – Historical work or poorly maintained bookkeeping requires more time and expertise.
  • Quality & Accuracy Standards – Firms that prioritize accuracy, compliance, and proactive financial insights will naturally offer more value than basic data-entry services.


At Hayson Accounting, we pride ourselves on keeping our systems current, efficient, and aligned with modern market expectations. By adopting the latest technology and AI tools, we help businesses streamline operations, reduce errors, and scale confidently.

This modern approach is what allows us to offer transparent, fair pricing—reflected directly in our new free quote calculator.
