Clean Up Your QuickBooks File in Boston, MA
A QuickBooks file drifts quietly — a wrong account here, a duplicate there. We audit yours in Boston, correct it and reconcile it back to the statements.
- Read-only access — we never need to move money
- A short walkthrough of what changed and why
- Chart of accounts repaired without losing history
Research-funded files usually arrive with award tracking that was carefully designed and unevenly applied. Payroll allocated across awards for some months and not for others, with no indication anywhere in the reports that the picture is incomplete. The totals simply come up short, and everyone reads that as lower spending rather than as missing data.
What our service covers in Boston
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Report pack rebuild
We rebuild the profit and loss, balance sheet and cash summary you actually use, so the reports you open each month reflect the repaired file.
Undeposited funds cleanup
The single most common wreck in a QuickBooks file — we work out what the phantom balance is made of and clear it against real transactions.
Receivables & payables reset
Old open invoices from customers who paid, credits never applied and double-entered bills brought back to reality.
Documentation handover
You get the change log, a note of every decision that needed judgement, and the open questions we could not answer without you.
Credit card and processor matching
Stripe, Square and PayPal deposits arrive net of fees. We match the payouts to the underlying sales and book the fees where they belong.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Free diagnostic call
We get read-only access to your file, review it and come back with a written list of what is wrong and what it takes to fix. The findings are yours either way.
One fixed quote
A single project fee for the agreed scope, set before work starts. If we find something substantial, we come back to you rather than adding to the invoice.
We repair and hand back
Corrections are made in order of impact, each documented as we go. You get the repaired file, the change log and a short walkthrough of what changed and why.
Why Boston businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- Your bank reconciliations have not matched in months
- You are behind on sales tax because the figures look wrong
- You are considering starting a fresh file and want advice first
- Duplicate customers and vendors have quietly multiplied
Payroll allocation is where it breaks
Staff time split across awards is the hardest thing to keep current and the first thing to lapse. Once it does, award reports understate personnel cost and overstate what remains available, which is the most consequential error such a file can contain.
We identify the unallocated periods, work through the allocation with you using whatever records support it, and are explicit about what is evidenced and what is estimated.
We then configure the file so allocation happens at entry rather than as a periodic exercise that competes with the actual research for attention.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Yes. Each file gets its own diagnostic and its own fixed quote, since they are rarely broken in the same way. If they share a chart of accounts we will keep the structure consistent across them.
