The Rise of Subscription Based Accounting Services

Over the past few years, subscription-based services have taken over every corner of our lives from Netflix and Spotify to software and fitness apps. Now, it’s accounting’s turn. The subscription is not only for the services available online but also for the software that provide you the full support for month end closings.

But is it the right for everyone to take online subscription for accounting purposes.?

Let’s break down the pros, cons, and what the future holds and how Flaxtasks is making it work better for real businesses.


What Is Subscription-Based Accounting?

Instead of paying per hour or per task, businesses now sign up for monthly or quarterly accounting plans, which include a bundle of services. For example:

  • Monthly bookkeeping
  • Payroll processing
  • Tax filing
  • Financial reports

The companies are now providing the plans according to the business need and also give the companies the plan that matches their needs like low-cost plans for small business and plans with more options for MNC.


The Pros: Why It’s Growing So Fast

  1. Pre-Calculated Costs No more surprise bills. You know exactly what you’re paying each month, making budgeting easier for startups and small businesses.
  2. Scalable Support As your business grows, you can upgrade your package from basic bookkeeping to full financial management, without hunting for new help.
  3. Ongoing Relationship Subscription models promote long-term partnerships, not one-time projects. You get consistent service and deeper support.
  4. Faster Communication Since you’re “always on the books,” your accountant is more likely to be responsive and proactive.
  5. More Value, Less Worry Bundled services often cost less than hiring full-time finance staff with more expertise.

The Cons: What to Watch Out For

  1. One Size Doesn’t Fit All Some plans include services you may never use while others may not offer exactly what you need unless you pay more.
  2. Overpaying for Simplicity If your business has minimal activity, a monthly plan may cost more than occasional support.
  3. Low-Quality “Package Shops” Some firms offer cheap monthly plans but provide generic or poor-quality service in return just ticking boxes.
  4. Locked-In Contracts Some providers require 6- or 12-month contracts. If the service disappoints, you’re stuck.
