Gold Coast Bookkeeping : Average Rates

A common question is what are the average rates of Gold Coast Bookkeeping services.

Why engage an “average” Gold Coast bookkeeping service?

Our question would be, how much do you want to pay for an “average” Gold Coast bookkeeper? Or rather, why would you want to engage an “average Gold Coast bookkeeping service” to look after the finances for your small business?

It’s rather like asking what’s the average price for a burger, chips and coke on the Gold Coast. Everyone knows that you can pay anywhere from around $5, or you can go to a posh restaurant on Tedder Avenue in Main Beach and perhaps pay $30 for the same thing. You and I both know, of course, that it’s not the same thing – it’s hardly comparing apples with apples.

There’s Gold Coast bookkeepers that charge less than $25 per hour and there’s others that can charge over $100. Does that help answer your question?

Not really – because the “cheap” bookkeeper may not be experienced and/ or confident in what they are doing. They may take two or three times as long as someone charging twice that rate, who may do a better job.

If you want to pay an average rate for a Gold Coast Bookkeeping service, then chances are that you’ll get a less than “average” result.

Can you really afford to cheapen the quality of your bookkeeping for the sake of the financial health of your business?

If you try to save on bookkeeping now, it may cost you later

Our experience has been that small business operators wanting to save a few dollars per hour on their bookkeeping do not fully grasp the importance of a bookkeeping service and do not deserve to get an experienced professional bookkeeper who can actually save them so much time and money in the long run.

Thus they engage the bookkeeping services of a cheap Gold Coast bookkeeper who provides a shoddy service, and the business owner thinks they are saving money – so they’re happy and the bookkeeper’s happy – and good luck to them both.
