Why QuickBooks Expertise Matters
QuickBooks seems intuitive, but proper setup and use require understanding accounting principles, not just software navigation. Common mistakes we see:
-
Incorrect chart of accounts leading to meaningless reports
-
Bank feeds categorized randomly without review
-
Transactions entered multiple times (duplicates)
-
Personal and business expenses mixed
-
Payroll not integrated or reconciled properly
-
Sales tax tracked incorrectly
-
Year-end entries never recorded
These issues compound over time, making financial statements unreliable and tax preparation difficult.

FAQs: QuickBooks Services
Do you work with both QuickBooks Online and Desktop?
We primarily work with QuickBooks Online and recommend it for most businesses. We can assist with Desktop for specific needs.

It depends on file condition and how far behind reconciliation is. Simple cleanups start around $500; extensive multi-year reconstructions can be several thousand. We provide fixed quotes after assessment.
