FAQs
How much does outsourced accounting cost?
It depends on the package: Foundation runs $600–$1,500/month for core bookkeeping and reporting, Framework runs $1,800–$3,800/month for project-level visibility and proactive support, and Blueprint runs $4,000–$8,500+/month for CFO-level oversight. Exact pricing depends on transaction volume, entity complexity, and which add-ons you need.
What's the difference between Foundation, Framework, and Blueprint?
Foundation covers the monthly essentials: bookkeeping, reconciliations, and financial statements. Framework adds project- or asset-level tracking, cash flow reporting, and a quarterly check-in. Blueprint adds dedicated controller/CFO-level oversight, forecasting, and financing support for growth-stage or multi-entity businesses.
Do I need the Survey before starting a package?
Not always. If your books are already in reasonably good shape, you can start directly on a package. The Survey is for businesses that aren’t sure what state their books are in, or want an outside assessment before committing.
Is forensic accounting included in any package?
No. Forensic and litigation support is project-based, not a monthly package, and is quoted individually based on the scope of the engagement.
Does Hugh Ledger Accounting handle tax filing or tax planning?
No. Hugh Ledger Accounting does not provide tax preparation or tax planning services. We keep your books and reporting accurate and hand off clean numbers to your CPA.
