See profit by person, project, and client.
You bill by the hour, the project, or the retainer, and your books can tell you what came in. They cannot tell you which projects and clients cover their costs or which client is quietly costing you money. We keep the books current, then answer that.
Profitability reporting uses your billing, time, and cost data. We agree the required connections and reporting scope with you.
“Which people, projects, and clients are profitable?”
Profitability by person, project, and client, tied to what they bill and what they cost. Contractor spend and partner draws included.

The books underneath it are done for you.
Bank, card, payroll, and billing feeds map into a real general ledger, and an accountant reviews the work. Retainers and project fees are recognized as you deliver, invoices are tracked against payments, and aging AR is flagged before it becomes a collections problem. Federal, state, 1099, and sales tax filings come off books that were kept right all year.
We found what three years of books missed.
OpenCures believed its books were clean. They tied, they looked right, and they had been signed off. Median's onboarding review found errors going back years, corrected them at the source, and filed amended returns. A record that balances is not the same as a record that is right. Correcting a record that was kept wrong is a bookkeeping cleanup, and for new clients it runs as part of onboarding.

An illustrative Scale scope for a firm above $1M in annual revenue comes to $565 / mo for full bookkeeping, scoped with you on a call. Tax filing starts at $1,499 / yr. Sales tax filings start at $99 / mo per jurisdiction. Under $1M the fee is flat, $200 / mo under $250K in revenue and $500 / mo from $250K to $1M, which is what pricing a small business bookkeeper on your revenue rather than on your headcount gets you.
Illustrative Scale scope, above $1M in revenue
- · 7 active financial accounts at $55 each
- · 300 posted general ledger lines / mo
- · Full monthly reporting pack, included
- · Same-day answers on Slack, email, or Zoom
$200/month under $250K in annual revenue; $500/month from $250K to $1M. Account count does not change either flat plan. Above $1M, pricing is scoped on a call. See pricing and scope.
