What handing the books off is worth.

Before you compare prices, count what the books cost you right now.

What a US hire costs

US bookkeeping clerks earn a median $50,670, before payroll taxes and benefits.

What doing it yourself costs

Every hour spent coding transactions is an hour off the work only you can do.

What a late close costs

Decisions made on last quarter's numbers, and a scramble every April.

What this costs instead

The same work, up to 75% less, with no placement fee and no minimum term.

How payment works.

You only ever pay Mate&Work, never the talent. No payroll, no contracts, no hidden fees.

Discovery call on us

On the call we scope the role, write the profile and benchmark the budget against real market rates, then hand-match your shortlist. All of it before you pay anything toward the search.

$75 to activate, refundable

A single $75 deposit activates your search. It is fully refundable, credited to your first invoice when you hire, and the only thing you pay before your new hire starts.

One invoice to us

Once your hire starts, you pay Mate&Work on one invoice, weekly or monthly, your choice. We handle payroll, contracts and currency, so nothing else lands on your side.

What is included, and what you never pay.

You are hiring a person into a role, not buying a service package.

Before you hire

Questions owners ask before hiring a remote bookkeeper.

The role
1.What does a remote bookkeeper from Latin America actually do?
They own the recurring finance work: categorizing transactions, recording expenses, issuing invoices and chasing payment, keeping payables and receivables current, reconciling bank and card accounts, running the monthly close and preparing your profit and loss. Some people search for this as a bookkeeping virtual assistant. At Mate&Work you are hiring a dedicated bookkeeper into a role, working inside your accounting software from week one.
2.What accounting software do they work in?
QuickBooks Online and Xero most often, plus Bill.com, Ramp, Gusto, Dext, Hubdoc, Stripe, Google Sheets and Excel. Tell us your stack when you start the search and we screen for it, so the person you hire is fluent from day one.
3.Can a remote bookkeeper file my taxes?
No. Your bookkeeper keeps the records current and hands an accountant a clean set of books. Four things sit with a CPA: federal, state and local filings; compiled, reviewed or audited statements; representation if the IRS or a state agency asks; and incorporation, ownership and equity structure. No accountant or tax preparer yet? Clean books mean that when you bring one in, the handover takes a day, not a project.
Finding your hire
4.How fast do I get candidates?
Mate&Work delivers 3 to 5 vetted candidates in 2 to 5 business days. Because our professionals sit between GMT-3 and GMT-6, the working day overlaps yours end to end, including a 9am Pacific call. See how it has gone for other companies.
5.How are the bookkeepers vetted?
Four stages before anyone reaches your shortlist: an interviewed and scored English and communication test, an experience review against a relevant track record, a skills assessment on the actual bookkeeping work, and reference checks confirming past performance. Only the top 3% of applicants make it through.
Cost and commitment
6.How much does it cost to hire a bookkeeper?
A dedicated bookkeeper from Mate&Work costs up to 75 percent less than the same role hired in the United States. For comparison, the United States median wage for bookkeeping, accounting and auditing clerks was $50,670 a year in May 2025 according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and that is base pay before payroll taxes, benefits, software seats and equipment. Your exact price depends on full-time or part-time, experience level and English level. See live bookkeeper pricing.
7.Am I hiring a person or buying a service?
With Mate&Work you are hiring a person into a role. One professional based in Latin America, dedicated to your company, on your schedule. You keep them for as long as the role is useful to you, with no minimum term and no locked contract. See how it works.
8.What if I need less than a full-time bookkeeper?
Part-time runs at 80 hours a month for the same dedicated bookkeeper. For lighter finance admin than that, our Virtual Assistant plans are billed weekly. See the three plans.
