Bookkeepers in the Phoenix-Mesa Area, AZ Compared (2026)

Key Takeaways

  • Too few firms reached 70% evidence coverage to rank (none of the 46, where a ranking needs 8), so the list is alphabetical.
  • Only 8 of 46 publish a price or a starting price, while 34 say nothing about fees.
  • Compared with every firm we list, this group stands out on catch-up work: 16 of 46 say they take on catch-up or cleanup work (35% against 12%).

Sources cited in this article: DNS check, Firm's own website, and our published methodology.

198 profiles reviewed, 46 met the listing bar, 0 scored (evidence coverage of 70% or more). Fewer than 8 firms reached the scoring bar, so this is an unranked comparison. The bar is not lowered to make a ranking.

Firms on this page have offices in Phoenix (10), Scottsdale (7), Chandler (6), Mesa (6), Gilbert (5), Tempe (4) and 6 other places. The page covers 87 towns and cities in the metro area, and a firm elsewhere in Arizona appears on the state page.

This page compares the 46 Phoenix-Mesa bookkeeping firms that met our listing bar, alphabetically, because too few have enough checked evidence to rank. Narrow it by need first. The filters above the list cover catch-up work (16 firms), a published price (8) and remote service (14).

What the evidence shows

Pricing

74% of the firms on this page say nothing about what they charge. 8 of 46 show a price or a starting price, and 4 say they quote. Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Better Ways Accounting & Tax ("$ 299 /mo"), Hockett Tax & Resolution Services ("$40 per month") and Jackrabbit Accounting ("$5,000 a month"). Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.

Services and process

If you're behind, start with the 16 firms that say they do catch-up or cleanup work. Fewer write down the process: 12 of 46 describe onboarding and 12 name a reporting schedule.

Software and remote work

QuickBooks leads the software firms here name (43%); after it come QuickBooks Online 33% and QuickBooks Desktop 11%. If you run Xero, LedgeTrakr Bookkeeping, Numbers Matter, Provision Bookkeeping LLC and Schneider & Stone PLC name it. Remote work is stated by 14 of 46; the filter above the list narrows to them.

Licenses and public records

Without Arizona records we can match, the evidence here is what firms publish about themselves, and that alone stops short of the 70% coverage a ranking needs. Median evidence coverage here is 69%.
