Bookkeepers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Area, MN Compared (2026)
Key Takeaways
- Too few firms reached 70% evidence coverage to rank (none of the 40, where a ranking needs 8), so the list is alphabetical.
- Only 4 of 40 publish a price or a starting price, while 35 say nothing about fees.
- Compared with every firm we list, this group stands out on catch-up work: 1 of 40 says it takes on catch-up or cleanup work (2% against 12%).

What the evidence shows
Pricing
88% of the firms on this page say nothing about what they charge. 4 of 40 show a price or a starting price, and 1 say they quote. Figures the firms publish themselves, as their sites word them: Balance ("$3500/month"), Clergy Financial Resources ("$73 per month") and Terron Moss CPA, LLC ("$375 Per Month"). That's more open than Minnesota as a whole, where 6% publish a price. Ask for the fee and what it covers in writing before the first month starts.
Services and process
1 of 40 says it takes on catch-up or cleanup work, which matters if your books are months behind. On this page that's XBS Accounting & Tax. Fewer write down the process: 7 of 40 describe onboarding and 9 name a reporting schedule.
Software and remote work
QuickBooks leads the software firms here name (32%); after it come QuickBooks Online 15% and Xero 10%. If you run Xero, All In One Accounting, Balance, HS Bookkeeping and XBS Accounting & Tax name it. 9 of 40 say they work with clients remotely, so a firm across the metro can still take you on.
Licenses and public records
Without Minnesota 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%. Any firm that says it's a CPA practice can be checked on the Minnesota Board of Accountancy lookup.
