QuickBooks cleanup

Trust Your QuickBooks File Again — Charlotte, NC

We take QuickBooks files that no longer reconcile and make them reliable again — starting with a written diagnostic rather than a guess, and finishing with a file your CPA can use.

  • Optional monthly bookkeeping so it does not drift again
  • Work sequenced by impact, not by what is easiest
  • Duplicates and miscoded transactions corrected

Fast-growing companies usually accepted the default chart of accounts on day one and never revisited it. Three years later the business has service lines, staff and locations, and the file still describes it as though it were one person with a laptop.

What's included

What our service covers in Charlotte

Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.

Opening balance equity cleanup

A balance sitting in opening balance equity means something was set up without a counterpart. We work out what, then post it where it belongs.

Class and location tagging repair

If you track departments, sites or funds, we repair the tagging so segment reports stop disagreeing with the totals.

Uncategorized expense triage

We work through whatever has been parked in uncategorized or "ask my accountant", assign what we can identify and give you a short list of what needs your answer.

Post-cleanup walkthrough

A call at the end covering what changed, what caused it and what to watch for, so the same problems do not rebuild themselves.

Bank feed rules review

Feed rules that made sense once quietly miscode transactions for years. We audit the rules in your file, fix the wrong ones and correct what they already miscoded.

How it runs

What happens after you get in touch

Only the first step needs anything from you.

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

Good fit

This is a good fit if…

  • You changed bookkeepers and the handover was incomplete
  • Month-end takes days because nothing ties out
  • The file was migrated from Desktop and something broke in transit
  • You need clean books before bringing on a partner or investor

Still set up for the first year

A default structure is fine for a business with one activity. Once there are several, it cannot separate them, so the reports show a single blended margin that conceals which line carries the company.

We restructure to reflect the business as it is now and reclassify the history into it, so prior periods are comparable rather than starting a new basis from today.

The first year's mixed personal and business spending, common in companies that grew quickly, gets separated in the same pass rather than left as a permanent oddity in the early periods.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.

That is normal. The diagnostic ranks problems by impact, so you can pick a scope — reconciliations only, say — and we quote that. We will tell you if fixing one thing without another would leave the file inconsistent.
