QuickBooks cleanup

QuickBooks File Cleanup in Denver, Colorado

If closing the month in Denver has turned into detective work, the file is the problem. We diagnose it, repair it and hand it back with every correction documented.

  • Chart of accounts repaired without losing history
  • Your CPA gets a file they can pick up without a redo
  • Prior-year comparisons still work after the repair

Product businesses carrying inventory produce the most consistently broken files we see locally. Negative quantities on hand, items that were sold before they were ever recorded as received, and an inventory asset figure that has drifted a long way from anything you could count in a warehouse. The file balances throughout.

What's included

What our service covers in Denver

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.

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.

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.

File diagnostic

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

Loan and asset account review

Loan balances that never amortize and assets that were expensed instead of capitalized get identified and corrected, with the reasoning documented.

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…

  • The same expense lands in a different account depending on who entered it
  • You inherited a file from a bookkeeper, partner or previous owner
  • Your CPA has said the file needs work before they can use it
  • Two people entered transactions using different conventions

Negative inventory and what it does

A negative quantity means the file recorded a sale of something it did not think it had. It is not merely a display problem — it forces the software to estimate cost, and that estimate propagates into cost of goods and margin for every subsequent period.

We find where the sequence broke, correct the receipts, and recalculate forward so the valuation reflects the actual movement.

For contractors, the equivalent is material charged to jobs that were closed before the invoices arrived. The mechanism differs; the effect on reported margin is much the same.

FAQ

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.
