How do I know which pricing plan to choose?

folēo pricing is based on your transaction volume and payroll requirements to start. From there, you can decide whether a budgeted business plan is right for you, or you are poised for strategic growth and would like professional input.

  • if you are self-employed, or a small business with less than $15k of monthly expenses, review the folēo me plans.
  • if you have employees, review the folēo us and folēo us plus plans. And from there…
  • if you have some additional financial requirements, a la carte add-on options are available
  • if you are trying to squeeze your unique company into a plan that doesn’t quite fit, let’s talk about a custom plan

If you have any questions about our pricing model, plans and options, we are a phone call or e-mail away.

What does QuickBooks set up entail?

folēo’s goal is to provide timely and effective financial information to our clients by tapping into the business intelligence that QuickBooks can provide.

All of our bookkeeping packages come with an initial bookkeeping evaluation, where we identify the status of your bookkeeping records, your financial reporting requirements and your key deadlines.

We also assess your needs in accessing QuickBooks for its operational capabilities (e.g., customer invoice generation, timesheets, estimates, etc.).

Depending on the type of business you own, we will tailor your Chart of Accounts and review any bookkeeping that has occurred to date for the current fiscal year.

If you have provided us with a QuickBooks data file, we will make any changes required and we will ensure that it is secured.

If you are not yet a QuickBooks user, we will set up QuickBooks (Online or Desktop) tailored specifically for your business. Your needs will be identified through the bookkeeping evaluation process and an additional fee will apply.

Which version of QuickBooks (Online or Desktop) is best for me?

The right version of QuickBooks is determined by the kind of access and frequency  you require to your record keeping. Depending on your day to day operational tasks, we will help you choose the right version for you.

  • If you do not require day to day access, we will set up your bookkeeping file on QuickBooks Desktop, accessible only by folēo, and deliver your financial reports to you each month.
  • If you need minor access to QuickBooks (e.g., to prepare customer invoices), we will set you up on QuickBooks Online.
  • If you require regular access to take advantage of the full functionality of QuickBooks Desktop, we can set up your Desktop file in a secured cloud environment for an additional monthly storage fee.

Do you provide any reviews or audits of my financial statements?
