How it works

Three steps. You see every price before you agree, and you only pay for an offer you accept.

Step 1
Describe it, free
Say what you need in a sentence or two. Posting costs nothing.
Step 2
Get offers from people who’ve done it
Taskers who have done this before send an offer with their own price. Ask questions, then pick one.
Step 3
Pay, and it’s held until done
Accept an offer and pay. Taskly holds the payment until you say the work is done.

Good questions

The things people ask before they post in the US.

01
What does company set-up, tax and bookkeeping help cost in the US?
Most of it falls between $100–600, depending on how much you need. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.
02
What do I need ready for a QuickBooks Online set-up?
Your business details and EIN, a list of bank and card accounts, last year's tax return or a list of expense types, your main clients, and access to online banking so you can connect the feeds yourself.
03
Should I use classes or locations for each rental property in QuickBooks?
Either works in QuickBooks Online Plus. Many landlords use classes for properties and keep locations free, but it depends on the reports you want. Ask to see both before deciding.
04
What do lenders usually look for in a food truck business plan?
Evidence of demand such as past sales, realistic startup and operating costs, permits and commissary arrangements, an owner contribution, and projections showing the loan payment can be covered.
05
How does paying work?
Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.
06
Who are the Taskers?
People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.
07
What can’t a Tasker do here?
Taskers help you prepare and understand. You file from your own account; nobody on Taskly represents you to a tax authority.
