Clerai AI month-end close and client-chasing platform logo

What is your month-end close actually costing you?

A rough estimate based on your client count, hours per client, and hourly rate (yours, or what you'd bill a staff bookkeeper for the same time).

Hours / month
37.5
Estimated cost / month
$2,250

For 15 clients, the closest self-serve Clerai plan is Starter at $89/month: categorization, chasing, and close review included.

This is a rough planning estimate, not a guarantee. Actual time varies by how messy a client's books are and how quickly they respond to requests.

Common questions

Where does the default 2.5 hours/client come from?

It's a reasonable planning midpoint for a client with moderate transaction volume and a mostly-clean feed. Adjust it up for messier clients or higher volume, down for simple ones.

Should I use my own hourly rate or a staff bookkeeper's?

Either works as a planning number: use your own rate to see personal time cost, or a staff rate to see the cost if you delegated the close to someone else.

See the month-end close checklist for where that time actually goes.
