If you need bookkeeping services in Germantown, TN, you are probably choosing between 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.
Germantown has CPA gravity — we fill the books-only gap
Along Poplar Avenue and Farmington Boulevard, Germantown is dense with professional offices: medical practices, law firms, consultants, and established CPA and tax shops. That is a strength if you want returns, advisory, and bookkeeping under one roof.
Many of those firms do not publish monthly bookkeeping-only plans. Pricing is often call-for-quote, bundled with tax prep, or starts in full-service packages that run $750+ per month with onboarding on top. That is a real option when you want everything integrated.
Different fit, different price band. If you already have a tax preparer — or you only need clean monthly books — our monthly bookkeeping is built for that: Starter $249, Standard $399, Growth $599, published before you call. Not a Germantown CPA replacement; the monthly foundation your CPA can work from.
Why Poplar corridor owners outsource the books
Germantown SMBs along the Poplar corridor run lean: owner-operated services, specialty retail, contractors with jobs across Shelby County, and professional practices that live in QuickBooks between client work. Revenue moves. The file drifts.
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.

Already behind? Start with catch-up bookkeeping or estimate the catch-up cost in about a minute, then stay current on a monthly plan. Catch-up locally is often quoted after an assessment (public ranges we see run roughly $450–$3,600 for catch-up and $500–$3,500 for cleanup). We quote ours clearly too — and the estimator gives you a range before you get on the phone.

Whether you are a service business, contractor, local retailer, or professional practice along the Poplar corridor, if your monthly activity fits our plans, we will keep the books moving. We also support QuickBooks bookkeeping inside the file you already have.
Published pricing vs call-for-quote CPA shops
Every plan includes monthly reconciliation and core financial reports. Compare that with Germantown-area CPA and accounting firms that bundle tax and advisory and rarely list a standalone monthly bookkeeping rate, or with full-service packages that start near $750. For a deeper books-only vs full-service breakdown, see our guide on monthly bookkeeping vs full-service accounting. Our start is simpler: pick a published tier, no surprise onboarding fee on the core plans.
| Plan | Price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $249/mo | Sole props & light activity (~75 transactions, 1–2 accounts) |
| Standard | $399/mo | Established businesses (~200 transactions, up to 4 accounts) |
| Growth | $599/mo | Busier ops (~400 transactions, AP/AR, deeper reporting) |
