How does ECB Financial charge for services?
Services are charged in two ways; hourly and by contract.  Since small businesses vary greatly in size and complexity, it is very difficult to fairly arrive at a contract price with a new client.  Therefore a new client will likely (but not always) be billed on an hourly basis until a contract can be established.  Understanding that small business owners like to know what their bookkeeping and other financial services are going to cost, we move to a contract situation as quickly as convenient.  Existing clients are usually billed per a service contract.

Does ECB Financial require my business to use QuickBooks?
While ECB Financial does not require your business to use QuickBooks for its accounting software, using other software or bookkeeping systems will likely result in a higher charge for services.  We at ECB Financial are well versed in and are therefore more proficient with QuickBooks.  This equates to less time involved with a client that uses QuickBooks compared to a client that uses another bookkeeping/accounting system.  We will be happy to consider working with you if you use a bookkeeping/accounting system other than QuickBooks, although we will want to assess your system and determine if ECB Financial can add value to your operation.  This assessment of course can be part of your free initial consultation.
