Where Bookkeeper360 is stronger
Bookkeeper360 publishes a price for almost everything: weekly bookkeeping, tax, sales tax, payroll, a 12-month budget and fractional CFO work. If you want a single provider with a published menu that runs from the books to CFO advice, it is easy to compare and buy. Its weekly plan also suits businesses that want their numbers updated more often than once a month, and it publishes sales tax filing from $125 a month.
Where SF Business Solutions is stronger
The fee follows the work rather than a plan tier. Monthly bookkeeping is quoted on transaction volume and the number of accounts, and getting books current is quoted on the number of transactions and how far behind the books are, rather than as a fixed $1,000 project. For a small business with simple books, that means paying for the work its books actually need.
SF Business Solutions also serves CPA and accounting firms directly, with white-label work and full-time accountants quoted per firm, based on volume and the roles you need. Its team includes a licensed CPA.
What to ask both before you sign
Both firms publish starting prices, so the real comparison is the quote for your own books. Ask each the same questions and compare the answers side by side.
- How many transactions and accounts does the starting price cover?
- Do my books need catch-up work first, and what will it cost?
- Which reports will I get each month, and by what date?
- Are payroll, sales tax and tax returns included or extra?
- What are the contract and cancellation terms?

How a switch usually works
A move between bookkeeping providers is mostly a handover of records and access.
- Invite the new team as an accountant user in QuickBooks Online or Xero.
- Share the last closed month's reconciliation reports and year-to-date statements.
- Send bank, card and loan statements for any months that were not closed.
- Agree the first month the new team will close, so no month is done twice.
