While most bookkeeping services we've reviewed are backed by venture capital and many years of experience, Aced Accounting is a fresh face in the industry - but don't let that deter you. Founded by CPA Ethan Willse (certified in 2020), this boutique firm offers the same comprehensive services as the big players, but with an emphasis on transparent pricing and a modern tech stack. With just over 100 happy customers so far, they're small but growing. And, as a CPA-managed accounting firm (not solely a bookkeeping firm), they can offer you accounting advice and strategy. The question is: could this newcomer be the perfect fit for your business?

Specialized guidance for content creators

If you're a content creator, startup founder, construction contractor, restaurant owner, a real estate investor, or you own a cleaning service, you'll find specialized expertise at Aced Accounting. Your dedicated team will help you understand your business' performance through detailed monthly reports, improve your cash flow with faster payment collection, and make data-driven decisions with real-time financials. You'll get valuable insights like industry benchmarking, tax compliance guidance, and custom budgeting tools - all while having access to specialists who understand your specific industry (including a dedicated accountant for content creators).

Transparent pricing is a standout feature

We appreciate Aced Accounting's straightforward, no-contract monthly billing structure - a valuable find in an industry plagued by hidden fees and confusing payment schemes. As far as we can discern, the pricing corresponds exactly to what you'll pay. (However, fees may apply if you go over your transaction limit.) Here's what you can expect from each plan:

• Standard ($149/month): Perfect for smaller operations, covering up to 200 transactions, financial statement prep, 4 reconciliations, chart setup, invoicing, document management, and monthly check-ins with CPA guidance.
• Plus ($300/month): A substantial upgrade with 350 transactions, unlimited reconciliations, full AP/AR management, bi-weekly meetings, and even payroll for 8 employees.
• Premium ($499/month): The complete package with 600 transactions, payroll for 15 employees, weekly meetings, and advanced features like financial statement analysis.

Getting started is hassle-free

Each tier includes valuable onboarding perks like free bookkeeping cleanup for the current year, comprehensive setup assistance, and ongoing CPA guidance. You'll also get regular touch-base meetings that increase in frequency as you move up the tiers, ensuring you're always in the loop.

Personal tax prep from $120, Business from $300

Many bookkeeping services also provide tax prep services as add-ons, and Aced Accounting is no different. Business tax preparation begins at $300, while personal tax preparation begins at just $120. Simply fill out their intake form and you'll receive access to their client portal within one business day.

Start a US business from overseas

If you're an international entrepreneur eyeing the US market, Aced Accounting specializes in helping you establish your LLC from abroad. Their international business expert, Felipe Bulnes, brings particular expertise in Latin American markets (and potentially bilingual support). Although the $199 to $299 price tag is certainly more expensive than the free LLC formation offered by many services, it comes with perks you won't necessarily get elsewhere. You'll receive a US address, phone number, EIN application and certificate, optional mail forwarding, and more. They even cover your LLC registration fee and first year's registered agent service.

Impressive value despite limited track record

Aced Accounting is still establishing its market presence. Despite this being the second time we've reviewed their services, we still could not find a single customer review. However, their service offerings are hard to ignore. The $149 entry point for professional bookkeeping services undercuts competitors by around $100 while maintaining a comprehensive feature set. Their transparent pricing structure and inclusion of valuable perks like onboarding cleanup set them apart in an industry rife with hidden fees.

Recommended to small businesses comfortable with being early adopters

We recommend Aced Accounting for small businesses and entrepreneurs seeking professional bookkeeping at an accessible price point. The lack of public reviews gives us slight pause, but their competitive pricing, clear service tiers, and especially their international business support make them worth considering. If you're comfortable working with a newer player in the bookkeeping space, you should find excellent value here.
