Good Accounting Pays for itself

Our Pricing

When your taxes are planned, your books are clean, and someone's
advising you every month, it changes what's possible for your business.

What "Once-a-Year" Accounting Can Really Cost You

If you only talk to your accountant at tax time, you're missing opportunities the rest of the year. That often looks like:

Unexpected tax bills you didn't see coming
No clear picture of your cash flow month to month
Payroll and accounting that don't talk to each other
Missed chances to adjust strategy before year-end
Making big decisions without up-to-date financial insight

When accounting is reactive, you're always playing catch-up. Here at Rickhoff Business in Balance, our goal is simple: keep you informed year-round so you avoid surprises and always have what you need to make smart decisions about your business.

This sounds good, but isn’t switching accountants a pain?

Changing accountants can feel like a big decision. If you’ve been working with someone for years, it’s natural to have questions or concerns. We understand, and we’re here to make the process simple and stress-free.

“I don’t want the transition to be complicated.”

“I’m not sure if I really need monthly accounting.”

“I’ve been with my accountant for years.”

Loyalty matters, and we respect that.

Many of our clients came to us after realizing they had simply outgrown a once-a-year approach. As businesses grow, financial complexity grows with them. What worked five years ago may not support where you’re headed now.

If you'd like to hear from your accounting team more than once per year, and have them involved in planning ahead, we’d love to sit down and see if we’re the right fit.

If you’d like to explore what working together looks like, we can start with a quick confidential conversation about your current setup and your goals.

“I have been using Rickhoff Accounting for 10+ years, and have always had stellar customer service. They are always there to answer questions from their knowledgeable, friendly staff. For all of your accounting needs, I would definitely recommend Rickhoff & Associates.”

Frequently Asked Questions

We work best with small business owners who want more than a once-a-year accountant. Here are a few questions we hear often.

Am I big enough to need monthly accounting?

How are you different from my current tax accountant?

What's the advantage of working with Rickhoff?

Do I have to use all of your services? Can I keep doing my own payroll?

We don't do à la carte. Our model is built around a fully integrated monthly engagement that includes accounting, payroll through Payroll Central, and proactive tax planning. The reason is simple: the whole thing works better when it all works together. Separating out services means gaps, miscommunication, and the kind of errors that end up costing more to fix than they would have cost to prevent.

Your Business Has a Lot of Road Ahead

The business owners we work with aren't just looking for someone to file their taxes. They're building something and want a financial partner who helps them make the kind of decisions that actually move the needle.

That's what we're here for.
