Cleanup and correction
Common problems we untangle in QuickBooks Online
The bank feed looks complete, but the books do not balance
Downloaded activity is not the same as reconciliation. We compare the ledger to supporting statements and investigate differences.
Income is duplicated or processor fees disappear
We separate gross sales, refunds, fees, and net deposits so revenue and cash are not overstated.
Old balances keep following every report
We trace opening balances, uncleared items, suspense accounts, and prior-period entries before locking in a clean monthly process.
The outcome
A QuickBooks Online company that agrees with the underlying records, closes on a repeatable schedule, and gives you reports you can use with confidence.
Questions, answered
QuickBooks Online bookkeeping FAQs
Do I need to share my QuickBooks password?+
No. Invite our firm as an accountant user. Your company remains under your administration, and access can be managed from your user settings.
Can you clean up an existing QuickBooks Online account?+
Yes. We first diagnose unreconciled periods, incorrect balances, duplicates, and workflow gaps, then provide a defined cleanup scope before recurring bookkeeping begins.
Will you make me change QuickBooks plans?+
Not automatically. We work with your existing plan and only recommend a change if a feature required by the agreed scope is unavailable on it.
Can you reconcile Stripe, PayPal, or other payment processors?+
Yes, when included in your scope. We reconcile gross sales, refunds, fees, transfers, and net deposits instead of treating every bank deposit as revenue.
Does bookkeeping include tax return preparation?+
No, not unless it is separately stated in your engagement. We keep the books organized and prepare a year-end package for your CPA or tax preparer.
What reports will I receive?+
The standard monthly package includes a profit and loss statement and balance sheet. Cash-flow, project, class, location, or custom management reports can be added when relevant.
