Free Bookkeeper Quote Template
Bookkeepers quote monthly retainers because the time required scales with the volume of transactions, not the number of months. A quote based on estimated transaction volume prevents the monthly fee being inadequate when a busy season doubles the workload.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a bookkeeper charge per month?
Monthly bookkeeping retainers typically cost €150 to €500 for a small business with 100 to 300 transactions per month. Busier businesses with 300 to 500 transactions pay €400 to €800 per month. The rate depends on the volume of transactions, the software used, and whether payroll is included.
What software should a bookkeeping quote specify?
Name the accounting software: Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, DATEV, or another platform. Some bookkeepers include the software subscription in their fee; others pass it through. A typical Xero subscription costs €14 to €45 per month. Clarify who pays for it in the quote.
What's the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?
Bookkeeping covers the recording of day-to-day financial transactions: bank reconciliation, invoices, expense categorisation. Accountancy covers analysis, advice, statutory accounts preparation, and tax strategy. Most small businesses need both. Quote clearly what your service covers and what falls outside it.
