Bookkeeping,
done for you.
Outsourced, virtual bookkeeping — backed by a real CFO and an in-house tax team.

Figures handles it all — outsourced and fully virtual inside QuickBooks or Xero — with a dedicated CFO and real-time tax planning layered on top, for a flat $999/month. Need full accounting, statements, and compliance too? That's covered in the same plan.

Behind on the books? We start by cleaning up and catching up — reconciling accounts, categorizing backlog, and getting prior months closed so you're working from accurate numbers, not guesses.
We connect QuickBooks or Xero, organize your chart of accounts, sync your bank and card feeds, and assign your dedicated bookkeeping and CFO team — fully live within about two weeks.
Each month we reconcile, categorize, and close your books on schedule, then deliver clear statements and a CFO-led read on what they mean — so tax season is never a scramble.
Questions, answered.
What are small business bookkeeping services?
Small business bookkeeping services handle the day-to-day recording of your finances — categorizing transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, managing accounts payable and receivable, and closing your books each month so your financial statements are accurate. With Figures, bookkeeping comes bundled with a dedicated CFO and real-time tax planning for a flat $999 per month, so your books aren't just clean — they're working for you.
What is outsourced bookkeeping and how does it work?
Outsourced bookkeeping means handing your monthly books to an external team instead of doing them yourself or hiring in-house. You connect your accounts, and your provider handles categorization, reconciliation, and the monthly close, delivering statements you can rely on. Figures goes further than a typical outsourced bookkeeper by pairing the books with a CFO and tax team — one finance function, one flat fee, no hourly billing.
What's the difference between virtual bookkeeping services and a local bookkeeper?
Virtual bookkeeping services manage your books remotely inside cloud tools like QuickBooks and Xero, so there's no need for an in-person bookkeeper or paper handoffs. You get the same reconciliation and monthly close, plus secure document sharing and a dedicated point of contact. Figures delivers virtual bookkeeping with the added depth of in-house EAs and CPAs and CFO-level advisory on what your numbers mean.
How much do small business bookkeeping services cost?
Freelance and part-time bookkeepers typically charge $400–$2,500 per month depending on volume, and that usually covers data entry only — no tax planning or strategic advice. Figures is a flat $999 per month that bundles monthly bookkeeping, a dedicated CFO, and real-time tax planning, with no hourly billing and no hidden add-ons.
I'm behind on my books — can you help with catch-up bookkeeping?
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of the most common reasons owners come to us. We clean up and reconcile prior months, categorize the backlog, and get past periods closed so you're working from accurate numbers — usually getting you current within about two weeks of onboarding.
Do you replace my accountant, or work alongside them?
Either way. If you only want bookkeeping, we keep your books clean and hand off to your existing CPA at tax time. If you take the full bundle — bookkeeping, CFO advisory, and tax — Figures becomes your complete finance team with in-house EAs and CPAs. Most clients find the bundle is the better fit.
How fast can you get my bookkeeping set up?
Onboarding takes about two weeks. We connect your accounting software, sync your bank and card feeds, catch up any behind months, and assign your dedicated bookkeeping and CFO team — so you're fully live without a long ramp-up.
Ready to hand off the books for good?
You'd make decisions faster. You'd negotiate better. You'd stop losing sleep over whether the numbers are right.
