Who This Is For
Owner-operators doing their own books
You're categorizing transactions at 11pm and still not sure where you stand. You need someone to take it over, not another app.
Seasonal and fluctuating businesses
Your workload spikes with busy season, a funding round, or year-end. You need hours when you need them, not a permanent salary.
Businesses that have outgrown DIY
Transaction volume is up, you have staff or contractors, and a bookkeeping error now costs real money. A full-time hire isn't justified yet.
The Problem
Bookkeeping is eating your hours
You're spending more than a few hours a month on bookkeeping, hours that used to go to customers.
Your numbers are out of reach
You can't give your profit figure without opening a spreadsheet, and your accounts haven't been reconciled in months.
Cleanup costs extra
Your accountant charges you extra to clean up the books before filing.
Deadlines and decisions slip
You've missed a filing deadline or a payment, and pricing, hiring, or borrowing decisions rest on guesswork.
Here is what changes.

Before
You're categorizing transactions late at night and still not sure where you stand. Your accounts go months without reconciling, your accountant charges extra to clean up before filing, and big decisions rest on guesswork.

How It Works
From your first call to your first close, the process takes days, not months. You know the scope, the hours, and the cost before any work begins.

Ongoing support
Each month your bookkeeper keeps the ledger current, reconciles your accounts, and sends your reports. You spend an hour or two reviewing and answering questions, and your account manager adjusts the hours as your workload changes.
Pricing
Monily bookkeepers start at $15 an hour. You pay for the hours worked, and nothing for the hours you don't need.
| Hours per month | Monthly cost at our starting rate |
|---|---|
| 10 hours | About $150 |
| 20 hours | About $300 |
| 40 hours | About $600 |
Your hours depend on transaction volume, the number of accounts, payroll, and cleanup. We confirm the expected hours after your consultation, so you know the monthly figure before you start.
Compare the Options
An accountant files your taxes and advises on them. A bookkeeper keeps the records that work depends on. So the real choice is who keeps the books.

Book a free consultationBookkeeper on Demand, Explained
Our bookkeepers are ideal for small and growing businesses, whether you're doing the books yourself today or looking to reduce in-house overheads.
Most owners don't plan the moment. They notice the books slipping. If two or more of these sound familiar, it's time.
None of this means something has gone wrong. It means the business has grown past the point where bookkeeping fits into your evenings.
Outsourcing your bookkeeping is no longer just an option. It's a practical decision that can help your business grow. Monily gives you a skilled bookkeeper when you need one, without the hassle of recruitment or onboarding. No long-term commitment and no complicated hiring process, just an experienced professional ready to take the books off your desk.
Whether you need help through a seasonal rush or a long-term arrangement, the service can be shaped around your needs.
A full-time bookkeeper costs more than the salary. The median US bookkeeper earned $50,670 in May 2025, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and benefits, including employer payroll taxes, make up 30 percent of private-sector compensation. That puts one hire at roughly $72,000 a year before training, software, and workspace.
Four things drive your hours.
- Transaction volume: The number of sales, bills, and expenses each month.
- Number of accounts: Each bank, card, and merchant account needs reconciling.
- Payroll: Whether we run it or it's handled elsewhere.
- Cleanup: Books that are months behind need catching up before monthly work settles.
If your books are simple and you don't mind the work, software on its own is a sensible choice. The case for help grows with your transaction volume.
Selecting your bookkeeper is the step that makes this model work, so we don't leave it to chance.
- Screening: Every candidate passes a skills assessment, a software test, and reference checks before joining our pool.
- Credentials: Our bookkeepers hold software certifications, including QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Xero Advisor.
- Matching: We shortlist bookkeepers who know your industry and already work in your accounting software.
- Your approval: You review and approve the bookkeeper before any work starts.
- Cover: If your bookkeeper is unavailable, your account manager assigns a backup who is briefed on your file, so nothing waits.
Every engagement starts with a trial period. If the bookkeeper isn't the right fit, tell us and we'll provide a replacement promptly. You don't have to wait out a contract to find out it isn't working.
Your financial data gets the same care.
You keep ownership of your books and can remove our access at any time.
- Every bookkeeper signs a strict confidentiality agreement.
- Files are shared through encrypted channels, never over email attachments.
- We follow privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA.
- Bank and card access is read-only wherever your bank allows it.
- Bookkeepers have no authority to move money or approve payments. Those decisions stay with you.
