Solarium vs A Traditional Bookkeeper

Why Owners Are Replacing Their Bookkeeper With Solarium

A traditional bookkeeper costs $300-600 a month, bills by the hour, and closes your books weeks after the month ends. Solarium Bookkeeping's team, supercharged with AI, closes them every day for a flat $100 a month.

Save $3,000+ a year and 10 hours a month with Solarium Bookkeeping.

The Short Version

Your bookkeeper isn't the problem. The model is. One person doing manual data entry can only work so fast, so you pay by the hour, wait weeks for a close, and trade emails about every unclear receipt. Solarium Bookkeeping gives you a bookkeeping team with AI doing the heavy lifting, which is how the same work gets done daily, for a flat fee, with questions answered the same day.

Keep Your Accountant. Retire the Retainer.

We'll be straight about this. Solarium Bookkeeping replaces the monthly bookkeeping retainer, not your accountant. Year-end filing, tax strategy, and the judgment calls that need a professional stay with the accountant you already trust. What changes is what they receive: clean, fully reconciled, always-current books instead of a shoebox. Most accountants love us for it (and we send all the info straight into your QuickBooks account, no switching required).

No Guessing. Ever.

The fear with AI bookkeeping is miscategorized transactions you discover at tax time. So we built Solarium to never guess. Every transaction is reviewed by a real person on Team Solarium, and if we still can't tell how to book your transaction, we ask you, once, in plain English. Your answer is remembered forever. As a result, after just a few days on Solarium Bookkeeping, your books end up reflecting how your business actually runs.

I loved that Solarium Bookkeeping backfilled the shoebox of receipts we had. I had a huge cup of receipts that I was dreading to go through.

Why Solarium Bookkeeping Stands Out Among Bookkeeping Services

Solarium Bookkeeping is a full bookkeeping service, not software you learn. Our bookkeepers are supercharged with AI, which is how we do your books daily instead of monthly and charge one flat fee instead of billable hours. You send receipts however you like, we categorize and reconcile everything, and your accountant gets clean QuickBooks records at year-end. No hourly invoices, no month-end surprises, no shoebox.

Switching Takes a Week, Not a Project

No awkward project plan. We connect your accounts, backfill anything behind, and take over the daily bookkeeping work. Your current bookkeeper hands off one last time, and your books never fall behind again.

It's time to stop paying by the hour for data entry.

See how Solarium Bookkeeping saves owners $3,000 a year with books that are done every day, not every month.
