If your bookkeeping needs are straightforward but you still prefer professional management, consider our Monthly Bronze bookkeeping service. This option is ideal for businesses doing around 40 transactions or less per month, or Gross Sales per year below $300,000, with 3 or fewer checking or credit card accounts and under 40 transactions each month. It's often used by small companies that require monthly and annual financial statements for tax preparation and periodic oversight. Should you need to add more transactions or accounts, this can be done for an additional fee or via a change order invoice. You can begin with this service and upgrade to our more comprehensive programs as your needs grow. Since running a business is demanding, let our experienced team handle the bookkeeping and accounting responsibilities for you.
Services Included in the Bronze Monthly Program:
Bookkeeping Done Monthly
Enter and Match all Bank Feed Transactions in QuickBooks once a month.
Posting all transactions and receipt paperwork received each month and matching to bank feed transactions. Posting is done for the prior month that just ended. Work is complete by the 20th of the month. Any unknown transactions are posted as uncategorized. Late submission of receipts and other paperwork may cause change order fees as work is only preformed once a month for the previous month period. Learn more about this feature here.
Cash Basis Accounting & Modified Cash Basis
Cash-basis accounting recognizes income and expenses when they are received and paid. This is best for companies that only need to see "after-the-fact" record keeping, not real-time or what may be paid in the future. Some limited add-on Modified cash-basis accounting may also be allowed, depending on the number of related transactions needed each month and who will be entering them. But only Cash Basis reporting will be done at year-end for tax purposes.
If you need Accrual Basis accounting in addition to your Monthly service we can customize your program to add this for an additional fee. Read more about this feature here.
Team Support
Your dedicated bookkeeper will review all your submitted paperwork and post all your transactions into your financial ledgers from the bank feeds. They will post To Do requests in the portal for anything missing or questions they have. They will compile your financial reports monthly.
Your Accountant Review Manager will review the financials that were created before they are approved to be posted to the client portal. Any additional questions or feedback will be noted for your reference and reply in the portal.
Your Scheduling Assistant will help get any meetings booked with our team.

AR & AP Aging reports can be included if you opt in for these add-on services, and choose to receive Modified Cash Basis reporting during the year for business management purposes. Year-End reporting will all be done on only a CASH BASIS if that is how your company files taxes (most small businesses in the USA default to CASH BASIS tax filing when they start up. This is unless they have opted for Accrual tax filing at some point. NOTE: Canadian business accounting is all done on an Accrual basis). Learn more about this feature here

General Ledgers may also be provided, depending on the total transaction count. E-Commerce companies that have 1,000s of transactions will not receive a general ledger as the report would be too many pages long to be useful. In these cases, ledgers for certain accounts can be made available upon request in the client portal.
We can also invite your CPA or Tax Preparer to your QuickBooks Online file once the year-end books are ready. This allows for a collaborative review each year with our bookkeepers and your CPA or tax preparer. Learn more about this feature here.

Change Orders for Out of Scope Requests
If you start with this program and we discover that more time is needed on your account to complete the work that is required, we will send change order invoices to complete your books. These could be for things like having more accounts, transactions, and complexity than initially disclosed when you first signed up for the service. We will recommend that you upgrade to a higher service if this program is not enough to get everything done without change orders. Typically after the 1st or 2nd change order, we will pause service until you upgrade to something that may be more appropriate. Sometimes, it may just be a busy month or year and if things go back within scope, then we can continue with this program. Your service agreement will list the dollar value per hour of the staff roles in our company. These will be used to determine any additional change order fees. Change order invoices are sent out as standalone invoices separate from your recurring ongoing service (which is charged automatically to the payment method on file). You will be given 30-day terms to pay any change order invoices you receive. You can request us to manually charge your payment information on file to pay for any change orders you receive, or you can choose a different form of payment, such as using your bill payment processor and any bill approvals workflow you use to pay other vendor bills. If your change order invoices are not paid within the 30-day terms, we do reserve the right to pause your current services and use your payment method on file to pay for any outstanding change orders before services resume. Full details on this feature here.

This is NOT a daily bookkeeping program. This is an annual program which means Transactions will accrue during the YEAR and will be posted and or reconciled ONCE a YEAR before the annual basic financials are posted in the client portal for review. This means your books will be up-to-date only ONE day each year (the day you receive your annual financials for the previous year). If you need your transactions posted daily please choose the Platinum program. If you need them posted weekly please choose the Gold Weekly program, if needed monthly please choose the Bronze program.*
This program does NOT include any annual Income Tax Filing Services for 1040, 1065, or 1120 tax forms. Your outside CPA or Enrolled agent will be responsible for your income tax returns and you will be billed separately from A Bigger Bottom Line for any income tax preparation and filings. You are required to pay for and handle all your own payroll taxes. We can help you send 1099’s at year-end using QuickBooks for an additional fee per 1099. We will work with your designated CPA to provide year-end financial statements and or access to your QuickBooks Online file for review.******
