Charge monthly retainers for cleanup, write-up, and tax prep. Pass-through QuickBooks Online subscription costs at margin. Give every client a portal where they see what they owe and pay via ACH (0.8% — your margin stays intact).
Why Illinois matters for bookkeeping + accounting firms
Illinois agencies — concentrated in Chicago — serve a B2B-heavy SMB mix where billing automation pays back fast because contracts are larger and net-30 terms are the norm.
Chicago's mix of B2B services, real estate, healthcare, and trades is exactly the SMB profile where Vendasta resellers thrive. Average client values are higher than the national mean, which means missed auto-drafts hurt more — and clean dunning sequences pay back more.

FAQ — Bookkeeping billing in Illinois
Is HubWho a good fit for bookkeeping + accounting firms based in Illinois?+
Yes. HubWho supports bookkeeping + accounting firms nationwide — every US state including Illinois — with the same flat $29-$249/mo pricing. ACH via Plaid + Stripe Connect + Authorize.net work from any US bank. The per-client margin report and white-label customer portal are identical regardless of which state you operate in.
Can I bill differently for cleanup vs. ongoing write-up?+
Yes — products in HubWho are flexible enough to model 'Cleanup project (one-time $2,500)' separately from 'Monthly write-up ($350/mo)'. Both can live on the same client, both flow into the same invoice if you want, or stay as separate subscriptions for cleaner reporting.
Does HubWho integrate with QuickBooks Online?+
Export-only today (CSV + IIF). Two-way sync (push paid invoices into QBO as Sales Receipts) is on the roadmap for Q3 2026. Most bookkeeping firms run HubWho for AR + portal and reconcile manually into QBO at month-end.
How does ACH pricing work?+
Stripe Connect ACH is 0.8% capped at $5 per transaction. For a $500/mo retainer that's $4. For a $2,000/mo retainer that's still $5 (capped). Compare to 2.9% + $0.30 on cards — ACH literally protects your margin on bigger retainers.
