What you get
- The person doing the work answers the phone. Matthew Coleman does the bookkeeping and the review. There is no handoff between a salesperson, a support queue and a junior preparer.
- Your books stay in your own software. We work in QuickBooks or Xero under your login. The website, domain and accounts remain yours, and nothing is held hostage if you leave.
- A written scope and price before work starts. The bookkeeping quote shows a monthly price from your own numbers. Catch-up and monthly reporting prices are published on their pages, and you can ask for a plain "not a fit" answer instead.
- Real credentials, stated plainly. B.S.B.A. in Accounting & Finance from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, QuickBooks ProAdvisor Gold, $100,000 errors and omissions coverage, and a commissioned New Jersey notary public.
- New Jersey knowledge. We write about and work with New Jersey rules, such as the state's contractor test and state filing dates, because that is where our clients are.
- Notary prices shown before you book. New Jersey sets the fee cap per notarial act. Any service or travel fee is shown separately before you book, and your card is charged after the session.
How it compares
This is a general comparison of business models, not a ranking of named companies. Check any firm's current prices and terms yourself.
| Topic | Large online bookkeeping firm | MCC Solutions |
|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | Usually a team, with a support queue | One accountant, directly |
| Software | Often their own platform or a set plan | Yours: QuickBooks, Xero or what you already use |
| Pricing | Published entry plans, with add-ons and sales calls above them | Written quote from your own numbers; add-on prices published |
| Local knowledge | National coverage | New Jersey rules and deadlines |
| Hours and scale | Built for volume, often with long support hours | A small client list and personal attention; no 24/7 desk for books |
| Tax filing | Some bundle it | Not included. Returns stay with your CPA |
| Notary | Not offered | Remote online and mobile notary, prices shown first |
When we are not the right fit
- You need tax returns, an audit or legal advice. MCC Solutions is not a CPA or law firm, so those stay with your CPA or attorney.
- You want the lowest possible price for basic transaction coding. Software with automated rules or a large online firm may cost less.
- You need a big team, many entities, multi-currency work or investor reporting on a fixed schedule.
- You need a notary at 2 a.m. A large on-demand platform may suit you better.
If we are not the right fit, we will tell you that on the first call.
