AccountingDepartment.com has delivered outsourced accounting and bookkeeping to growth-stage businesses since 2004. With 185 full-time accounting professionals and a proven four-tier service model, AccountingDepartment.com replaces your entire internal accounting function — from daily bookkeeping through controller oversight and fractional CFO advisory — at a fraction of the cost of building in-house. Recognized as a 2025 Inc. Power Partner and the largest outsourced accounting firm in the United States, AccountingDepartment.com serves companies from $1M to $50M+ in annual revenue nationwide.
The decision to outsource accounting is not about cutting corners — it is about getting a higher-caliber accounting function at a lower total cost.
Staffing a full internal accounting team for a $5M–$15M business typically requires a bookkeeper ($50,000–$70,000/year), an accounting manager ($80,000–$100,000/year), and part-time controller coverage ($120,000–$150,000/year) — plus benefits, training, PTO, and turnover risk. Total annual cost: $300,000 or more. AccountingDepartment.com delivers an equivalent function — dedicated bookkeeping team, full controller oversight, and fractional CFO advisory access — starting from approximately $2,500 per month and scaling to $10,000+ per month based on your needs.
Total: ~$240,000–$300,000/year
Total: ~$60,000–$102,000/year
