# Sell Monthly Accounting and Bookkeeping Packages

> Use Newie for recurring accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, CFO, advisory, and tax-support packages.

## Overview

Monthly accounting and bookkeeping packages are recurring service relationships. Newie manages the subscription payment, agreed terms, receipts, and customer record around the work.

## Set Up the Monthly Package

Create the subscription around the monthly commercial arrangement: price, included scope, setup fee, document deadlines, client responsibilities, transaction volume, software access, and out-of-scope work.

Keep accounting work, document collection, lodgements, tax advice, and professional records in your normal practice tools.

## Common Setup

1. Create a Subscription for each recurring package tier
2. Add a Setup Fee for onboarding, cleanup, file setup, software setup, migration, or first-month work that should be charged immediately
3. Add Terms of Service for scope, client responsibilities, document deadlines, transaction volume, minimum terms, cancellation notice, software responsibilities, and out-of-scope work
4. Add a Welcome Email with onboarding forms, document-request links, portal links, calendar links, software setup instructions, and next steps
5. Create groups for package tiers, client type, advisor, region, or service category when you need filtered reporting
6. Create a custom price when one client needs a tailored monthly fee without creating a new public package
