How much does it cost to outsource a Bookkeeper?

−
Bookkeeper engagements through Kuubiik start from $1,040 per month. Compared to hourly bookkeeping services or part-time local hires, a full-time dedicated bookkeeper at this rate gives you consistent coverage and a single point of accountability for your books. Visit kuubiik.com for current pricing.

What does a remote Bookkeeper handle?

+
A Kuubiik-assigned Bookkeeper handles day-to-day transaction recording, bank and account reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable tracking, payroll support, expense categorisation, and keeping your books ready for accountant or tax review. They work on platforms like Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, Wave, or Zoho Books. Kuubiik handles all contracts, compliance, and payments.

What is the difference between a Bookkeeper and an Accountant?

+
A Bookkeeper handles the day-to-day recording and maintenance of financial transactions - the input side. An Accountant interprets that data - producing financial statements, managing tax obligations, and advising on financial decisions. Many businesses need both. If you are not sure which one fits your current stage, we are happy to walk through your setup and recommend the right choice.

How is financial data kept confidential?

+
Your bookkeeper operates under strict confidentiality obligations as part of Kuubiik's Master Service Agreement. Kuubiik is PDPA and GDPR compliant. For sensitive financial data, Kuubiik recommends using role-based access controls within your accounting platform and sharing only the records relevant to their scope.

What if the books are not being maintained accurately?

+
Replacements are free and unlimited. One day's written notice in the first two months, two weeks after that. Replacements for bookkeeping roles are typically ready within 15 days.

What countries can I source a remote Bookkeeper from?

+
Remote Bookkeepers are sourced from Southeast Asia and Latin America (LATAM). Southeast Asia is a strong region for finance and accounting roles - the Philippines in particular has a well-established pool of professionally trained accountants and finance staff. LATAM (Colombia, Brazil, Argentina) is a good fit for US-timezone alignment. Any jurisdiction-specific requirements can be flagged in your brief.

What does the monthly fee include when outsourcing a Bookkeeper?

+
The monthly fee covers everything on the engagement management side - your Bookkeeper's compensation, contract setup, compliance administration, and monthly payments. There are no recurring admin fees on top. The only upfront cost is a one-time deposit equivalent to one month's fee. Accounting software licences (Xero, QuickBooks, MYOB, etc.) are separate and remain under your control.

How is outsourcing a Bookkeeper different from using a part-time local bookkeeper or bookkeeping service?

+
A dedicated Bookkeeper works full-time on your accounts with full transparency and consistent availability. Part-time local bookkeepers often serve multiple clients simultaneously, which means your books may not always be the priority when things get busy. A dedicated bookkeeper at a fixed monthly rate gives you predictable costs, faster reconciliations, and a single point of accountability.
