PRICING OPTIONS

The Potter Advisory approach to pricing

Here are two ways we can work together, based on what you need right now. If you’d love ongoing, hands‑on support, our monthly retainer’s a great fit. We’ll handle the books, build solid processes, and help you actually understand your numbers — month in, month out. Not ready for something ongoing? No problem. For a focused, one‑time deep dive, project‑based pricing lets us tackle a specific review or cleanup without any long‑term commitment.

QuickBooks setup tips

Start reviewing your books before it becomes a problem.

Most small businesses wait until tax season to look at their numbers. By then, small issues have already grown into expensive fixes. A one-time review gives you a clean baseline. A monthly retainer keeps you ahead of surprises. Both start with a single Zoom call — no commitment, just clarity.
