If you need bookkeeping services in Bartlett, TN, you are probably comparing two lanes: a CPA or accounting firm that bundles tax and advisory, or a books-only partner with a monthly price you can plan around. Midsouth Bookkeeping is the second. We categorize, reconcile, close the month, and deliver a P&L and Balance Sheet you can actually use — with published plans and a real person at (901) 673-8119.
Bartlett search results mix books-only and CPA stacks
Along Stage Road, Elmore Park, and the Raleigh-adjacent corridors, Bartlett SMBs run home services crews, contractors with jobs across Shelby County, medical and dental offices, and local retail that live in QuickBooks between customer work. Many owners already have a tax preparer — they just need the monthly file kept honest.
Local search also surfaces books-only peers who publish tiered packages — often $375, $750, and $1,500 per month with roughly $500 onboarding on top. That is a real option when you want a higher-touch books shop with onboarding built in.
Other results point to CPA firms that add bookkeeping as an add-on inside a tax-and-advisory stack. Different fit, different price band — and a good choice when you want returns, planning, and books under one roof.
Different fit, different price band. If you only need clean monthly books — or your Starter-level activity does not justify a $375+ package — our monthly bookkeeping is built for that: Starter $249, Standard $399, Growth $599, published before you call, with no surprise onboarding fee on the core plans.
Why Stage Road and Elmore Park owners outsource the books
Bartlett businesses stay busy serving neighborhoods from Appling to Wolf River. Revenue moves through multiple accounts. The QuickBooks file drifts between jobs, appointments, and payroll runs.
Then quarter-end is a scramble, cash looks better than it is, and you cannot trust last month’s P&L for a hiring or pricing decision. Outsourced monthly bookkeeping fixes that without hiring a full-time bookkeeper or buying a bundled package you will not fully use.

Published pricing vs $375+ books-only packages
Every plan includes monthly reconciliation and core financial reports. Compare that with books-only peers who publish $375 / $750 / $1,500 tiers plus roughly $500 onboarding, or with CPA add-on bookkeeping inside a full tax stack.

Our Starter at $249 is the light-activity fit many Bartlett sole props need — pick a published tier, no surprise onboarding fee on the core plans.

|---|---|---|
