Bookkeeping
ClearDesk Books Start $295/mo
The Bookie lists done-for-you Starter from $260/mo, with two-monthly GST at $125/return. Six returns add $750/year: a $322.50 monthly equivalent before Xero. Scope and transaction limits differ.
Beany Economy is $195/mo ($2,340/year) for annual accounts and returns; monthly bookkeeping is extra. ClearDesk includes Books Start and setup, so the headline totals do different work.
Merge Media’s five-page Basic Website starts at $2,499, with ongoing hosting and maintenance at $95/mo after its first free month. ClearDesk care is $65/mo and hosting is separate.
Easy Social Media advertises plans from $299/mo. ClearDesk’s entry plan includes four original static posts monthly adapted across two channels; compare post count, approval and asset requirements.
Published prices can change. Outside providers may include different support, software, GST, contract periods and volume. Request a current matched quote before deciding.
