How do you set up QuickBooks?

Setup starts with how your business earns and spends money. We build a chart of accounts, connect bank accounts, enter opening balances and test with a few transactions. The aim is a file your tax preparer can use without rework. Ask us before you buy software or a plan.

What does QuickBooks training cover?

Training depends on who uses the file. An owner may need to read reports. A staff member may need to enter invoices and bills. We teach the steps on your own file, so the lessons match your work. Explain what you need, and we will plan the session.

What is a QuickBooks cleanup?

A cleanup reviews your file for errors, such as duplicate entries, uncategorized items and bank accounts that do not reconcile. We correct what we can, document the changes and tell you what to do differently. Cleanup usually comes before a tax return, a loan application or a move to a new bookkeeper.

How does QuickBooks fit with taxes?

The IRS says you may choose any recordkeeping system that clearly shows income and expenses. QuickBooks can do that when the file is kept up. See small business accounting and our guide to a bookkeeping routine.

How do I send you my QuickBooks file?

Use the client portal or the secure file page. Large files are fine there. Please do not email a company file.

Can you fix a QuickBooks file that is years behind?

Often yes. We review what exists, collect missing statements and correct entries. We will tell you what we need before we start.

Do I need training if I hire a bookkeeper?

Owners often benefit from learning to read their reports. We can tailor training to that.

Which QuickBooks version should I use?

It depends on your business. We can talk it through before you buy.

Will cleanup change my tax return?

It may, because corrected books change the numbers. Your CPA will explain what changed.
