Common pricing models
- Monthly retainer or fixed fee (most common for ongoing FAO): core bookkeeping starts at $300 to $600 per month for basic record-keeping; standard SMB bookkeeping runs $500 to $3,000 per month; a complete managed finance function covering AP, AR, payroll, and reporting typically costs $650 to $1,800 per month; controller-level services range from $2,000 to $8,000 per month; mid-market Finance as a Service (FaaS) engagements for medium-sized businesses average $5,000 to $20,000 per month. All figures are indicative 2025 to 2026 ranges, actual cost depends on entity count, transaction volume, payroll headcount, and close complexity.
- Hourly or project-based (for ad hoc, audits, or transition support): US-based CPA or controller-level project work typically runs $75 to $500 per hour depending on specialization. Offshore providers charge $20 to $100 per hour for similar work, though communication overhead can affect total project time. Indicative only.
- Per-seat or dedicated FTE model (for larger or ongoing back-office teams): some FAO vendors price by dedicated finance FTE, offshore finance staff in India or the Philippines typically falls in the $6 to $16 per agent hour range for transaction-level work (bookkeeping, AP, AR, payroll admin). Nearshore LatAm finance staff runs $10 to $22 per hour. Onshore US finance BPO staff runs $22 to $50 plus per hour. Dedicated FTE models suit buyers who want process ownership and team continuity rather than shared-pool staffing.
- Virtual CFO or CFO advisory retainer: strategic finance and CFO-level outsourcing commands $3,000 to $15,000 per month depending on the scope of board reporting, modeling, fundraising support, and time commitment. This is a different engagement from bookkeeping or controllership, do not compare these on hourly rate alone.

- Volume and contract length — larger, longer commitments earn better rates.
