Why Choose Obengrath Over an App or Expensive CPA Firm?
At Obengrath, we sit right in the middle — delivering the personal touch and accuracy your business needs, without the high cost or overwhelm.
More than an app: Apps like Bench or Merritt may look affordable, but they’re rigid, limited, and impersonal. You get generic reports, but little explanation or guidance on how to actually use your numbers to run your business.
Less than a CPA firm (in cost, not in quality): Traditional firms often charge thousands per month and bill hourly for every call or email. That’s overkill for most small businesses.
The sweet spot: We offer real human support, flat monthly pricing, and services designed specifically for freelancers, side hustlers, and small businesses. You’ll always know what you’re paying and you’ll never feel like “just another client.”
QuickBooks Online Specialists: At Obengrath, we work exclusively with QuickBooks Online — the widely used accounting platform for small businesses. We’re also QuickBooks Certified ProAdvisor’s, we know the system inside and out. That means faster setup, cleaner books, and ongoing support tailored to your business needs.
🏅 In short: Apps are too impersonal. CPA firms are too expensive. Obengrath is the perfect middle ground — expert QuickBooks Online bookkeeping, guided by a Certified ProAdvisor, that’s accurate, affordable, and built around you.
