Is there a contract?

We have no long-term commitment, though we do have a big $100/mo discount if you agree to try us out for a year, and you can still pay monthly if you like. You are also welcome to sign up for a month-to-month option and have no commitment at all. Either way, you have the option to cancel at any time if you don’t feel we’re a good fit.

What if I need accrual as opposed to cash accounting?

Though accrual requires more work, in many cases for small to medium sized businesses we can do accrual at the same pricing. Once we do the initial free review of the last three months of your books, we can confirm what pricing category you would qualify for.
