by Vincent H. Certified Public Accountant
You’re an entrepreneur, and you own a small business. After struggling to manage your taxes and other financial tasks, you’re all set to outsource an accountant for your business. But you’re still thinking, "What if hiring a CPA can shake my budget?" To give you a detailed understanding of the charges of a small business accountant in the US, I’ve penned down a complete guide.
Hiring Accountant
Before I commence, let’s make some guesses... What does your experience say? $10,000? or $20,000? However, there are many types of accountants who charge such prices, but charges are applicable as per the size of the business too. Also, always remember, whenever you opt to hire one,  look at the traits of the professional. Whether he/she is able to offer you what you expect from him or her. Let's go ahead and find out what a bookkeeper charges...

What is the Overhead Cost of a Small Business Accountant?

The overhead cost of an auditor is between $1000 and $5,000. The rate may vary depending on their experience as well as the type and volume of work you ask them to perform. Moreover, you can also re-value the cost of accounting services as per your interest and in favor of your company’s forecast.

What are the Hourly Charges of an Accountant for SMBs?

Many accounting service providers ask for an hourly rate. They charge by the hour and the amount of work required for your industry. A professional accountant or bookkeeper charges between $30 and $90 per hour. In addition, certified public accountants charge between $150 and 450 dollars per hour.

Before booking an accounting service, it’s better to discuss with the service provider the "loads of work” and "revaluation." This ensures that everything is clear from the start, allowing you to complete the financial work without any confusion or hassle.

What Should Be Checked Before Hiring an Accountant?

A small business accountant ensures your company is running successfully. They help you maintain your financial tasks by putting their knowledge to work. Before outsourcing one, consider the following major factors:

1. Experience
The first thing that should be noted is the experience of an accountant. More years of experience means more expertise. An experienced bookkeeper can provide you with high-quality work in a timely manner. They can help you track, correct, and collect an industry's finances professionally. You can easily rely on him/her and focus on improving your business’ services and products.

2. Trust
Working with an accountant means you've got to reveal everything about your company’s finances. And this should not be taken very lightly; handing over the main aspects of the firm to the right hand is really important. So, to test his/her trustworthiness, have an overview of the reviews, feedback, and background check. However, a trusted accountant is the pillar and bridge of a successful firm.

3. knowledge
To become a professional, every accountant needs to undergo training courses. A knowledgeable individual also obtains certification to ensure that they are certified and ready to serve businesses. After all, a small mistake in accounting can lead to unbearable losses for the company. Thus, knowledge should be the second quality after experience as a bookkeeper to save your company from breakdown.
