Bookkeeping Packages & Pricing

Hopkan Partners charges a fixed monthly retainer for bookkeeping services. No hourly billing, no end-of-month surprises. Your fee is agreed upfront and stays the same each month unless your business scope changes significantly. 

Every retainer is tailored to your business. Depending on what you need, your package can include bookkeeping, BAS lodgement, payroll, financial reporting, and a review meeting with a CPA-qualified adviser. Most outsourced bookkeepers hand you a set of numbers. We walk you through what they mean.

Why Fixed Monthly Bookkeeping Pricing Works

Hourly billing punishes you for having questions. Call your bookkeeper to ask about a transaction and that costs $50? You stop calling. Fixed fees remove that barrier.

Accountants typically charge upwards of $200 an hour. With a fixed monthly retainer, you can have regular, meaningful conversations about your financials without watching the clock or worrying about what each question costs. That’s the point — a retainer should make you more likely to engage, not less.

The average hourly rate for an outsourced bookkeeper in Australia sits between $40 and $80 per hour, according to industry benchmarks from CPA Australia and the Institute of Public Accountants. The issue with hourly rates isn’t the rate — it’s the unpredictability. A month with 200 transactions costs different from a month with 350, and you won’t know the bill until after the work is done.  

Fixed pricing means you can budget for bookkeeping the same way you budget for rent or software subscriptions. One predictable number, every month.

Who Are These Bookkeeping Packages For?

Hopkan Partners works with Australian business owners who’d rather focus on growing their business than spending evenings reconciling bank feeds. Outsourcing your bookkeeping frees up headspace for the work that actually generates revenue — whether that’s winning new clients, managing your team, or planning the next stage of growth.

If your business has staff, lodges BAS, and has enough transaction volume to justify monthly professional bookkeeping, this pricing structure is built for you. Most of our clients operate in professional services, trades, retail, and hospitality. 

Honest assessment: if you’re a sole trader with a handful of transactions per month, we’re probably not the right fit. At that volume, bookkeeping software and a quarterly BAS agent is more cost-effective. We’d rather tell you that upfront than sign you up for something you don’t need.

Getting a quote takes one call. Three steps:

Quick Answers to Your Concerns

Frequently Asked Questions About Bookkeeping Packages

Monthly bookkeeping fees for Australian businesses typically range from $250 to $3,000 depending on transaction volume, payroll complexity, and reporting requirements. At Hopkan Partners, packages start from $250 per month (Foundations) and scale based on what your business needs. Each retainer can include BAS lodgement, financial reporting, payroll, and a review meeting with a CPA-qualified adviser.

A Hopkan Partners bookkeeping package is tailored to your business and can include transaction coding and reconciliation, BAS preparation and lodgement, accounts payable and receivable management, payroll and superannuation processing, monthly financial reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow), and a financial review meeting with a CPA-qualified adviser. You choose what you need.

Bookkeeping covers recording day-to-day transactions, reconciling accounts, and lodging BAS. Accounting involves year-end tax returns, financial statements for ASIC, and tax planning. Hopkan Partners covers bookkeeping and management reporting in every retainer. Tax return preparation is available as an add-on for businesses that want both under one roof.

We assess your business during a free consultation — transaction volume, bank and card accounts, employee count, and reporting needs. Based on that assessment, we recommend one of four packages (Foundations, Clarity, Insight, or Partnership) at a fixed monthly retainer that stays the same each month. If your scope changes significantly, we discuss an adjustment.

Every retainer is customised from the start. Some businesses need payroll but don’t need accounts payable management. Others need weekly reconciliation instead of monthly. We build your package around what your business actually requires.

Hopkan Partners works with Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB. As a Xero Silver Partner, we have deep expertise across the Xero platform, but we’re equally comfortable managing your books in QuickBooks or MYOB. We work with whatever system suits your business best.

BAS preparation and lodgement by a registered BAS agent can be included in your monthly retainer. Quarterly or monthly, it’s covered in your fixed fee — not billed separately.

Most bookkeeping services record transactions and hand back a set of reports. Hopkan Partners can include financial analysis and a regular review meeting in your retainer, led by a CPA with management accounting experience from ASX-listed companies. We don’t just keep your books compliant — we help you read them.

Minor month-to-month fluctuations are absorbed within your fixed fee. If your transaction volume or payroll increases consistently over a quarter, we have a conversation about adjusting your retainer. We always flag changes before adjusting pricing.

Hopkan Partners is based in Sydney and works with businesses across Australia remotely. All bookkeeping, BAS lodgement, and financial reporting is handled online through cloud accounting software. Meetings are conducted via video call, so your location doesn’t limit the service you receive.
