QuickBooks cleanup

Get Your QuickBooks File CPA-Ready in Columbus

A QuickBooks file drifts quietly — a wrong account here, a duplicate there. We audit yours in Columbus, correct it and reconcile it back to the statements.

  • Duplicates and miscoded transactions corrected
  • One named bookkeeper on the file from start to finish
  • Manual journal entries traced back to their purpose

E-commerce files break where the sales channels connect. A marketplace app posting summaries, a payment app posting deposits, and the bank feed posting the same money a third time, producing duplicate revenue that reconciles because everything was entered twice on both sides.

What's included

What our service covers in Columbus

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

Sales tax liability review

We check what the file says you owe against what was actually collected and filed, and flag the gaps for your CPA. We do not prepare or file the returns.

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.

Reconciliation catch-up

Each bank, card and processor account is reconciled to its statement so the file agrees with the real world.

File diagnostic

We review the file account by account and give you a written, ranked list of what is actually wrong before touching anything.

Vendor and customer dedupe

The same supplier entered three ways splits your reporting three ways. We merge duplicates carefully so history and open balances survive the merge.

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.

Why us

Why Columbus businesses choose Feather Accounting

Optional monthly bookkeeping so the file never drifts again
Your CPA looped in directly if you want them to be
Findings ranked so you can choose what to fix now and what can wait
A named bookkeeper who owns your account, not a rotating queue
Records kept to a standard your CPA can pick up without a redo
Good fit

This is a good fit if…

  • You changed bookkeepers and the handover was incomplete
  • Duplicate customers and vendors have quietly multiplied
  • Your bank reconciliations have not matched in months
  • You are behind on sales tax because the figures look wrong

Three apps, one sale

Connected apps each believe they are responsible for recording the transaction. Left unconfigured, two or three of them record it, and revenue is overstated by a multiple nobody notices because the deposits appear to match.

We trace each channel end to end, establish which system should own the entry, and switch off the duplication. Then we remove the historical duplicates, which is slower than preventing new ones and cannot be skipped.

Fees, refunds and chargebacks get separated out at the same time, so revenue reflects what customers paid rather than what landed in the bank.

FAQ

Questions about this service

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

We correct how sales tax is recorded in the file and flag any gap between what was collected and what was filed. Preparing or filing the returns themselves is your CPA or tax preparer, not us.
