How Can I Help?

Bookkeeper vs. CPA vs. Tax Accountant: What's the Differecne?

Most small businesses are paying CPA prices for bookkeeping work. Here's how separting these roles can save you thousands every year.

Are You Paying a CPA to Do Bookkeeping?

Many small business owners assume their CPA handles everything. 

But most CPAs charge $200 - $400 per hour for work that a bookkeeper typically performs.

​

The truth is:

​

  • Bookkeepers organize your finances

  • CPAs provide high-level financial strategy 

  • Tax accountants prepare and file your taxes 

​

Separate the roles and your business saves.

Who Does What?

Bookkeeper - Cost $40 - $90 / hr

Manages transactions, reconciles accounts, prepares reports.

Tax Accountant - $150 - $350 / hr

Prepares business tax returns, ensures compliance.

CPA - $200 - $500 / hr

Tax strategy, financial consulting, audits. 

Bookkeeper 

$400 monthly / $4,800 annually

My
Commitment

At Prairie Ledger Bookkeeping, we specialize in catch-up bookkeeping and monthly services for small businesses in Basehor, Kansas.

I started Prairie Ledger after experiencing firsthand what happens when bookkeeping isn't done correctly. 

​

Years ago, I trusted someone with my business finances at another business I still co-own till this day, and later discovered costly mistakes that took months and thousands of dollars to fix. 

​

That experience shaped how I serve my clients today. 

​

I reconcile thoroughly.

I communicate clearly.

I don't cut corners.

​

Because your books aren't just numbers, they're your livelihood. They deserve to be handled with care.
