QuickBooks cleanup

Get Your QuickBooks File CPA-Ready in Detroit

Before we change anything in your file you get a ranked written list of what is wrong and a fixed price to put it right. Then we do the work.

  • Manual journal entries traced back to their purpose
  • A fixed project fee — no hourly meter
  • Bank, card and processor accounts reconciled to statement

Supplier files reconcile to the penny and still misstate the business, because the receivables ledger has been accumulating for years. Invoices settled by agreement, deductions taken by customers and never recorded anywhere, credits issued against invoices that nobody ever matched. The bank reconciles perfectly, which is exactly why the problem survives for so long unexamined.

What's included

What our service covers in Detroit

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

Reconciliation catch-up

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

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.

File diagnostic

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

Receivables & payables reset

Old open invoices from customers who paid, credits never applied and double-entered bills brought back to reality.

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 are behind on sales tax because the figures look wrong
  • Opening balance equity holds a number nobody can explain
  • The file was migrated from Desktop and something broke in transit
  • You inherited a file from a bookkeeper, partner or previous owner

Deductions and credits nobody recorded

Customers taking deductions at payment is normal in supply relationships and it wrecks a receivables ledger when the deduction is never entered. The invoice stays open for the shortfall indefinitely and the ledger overstates what is owed.

We work through the open items with you, matching payments to invoices and recording the deductions that were actually taken.

The useful output is usually not the tidy ledger but the total of deductions absorbed over the period, which most suppliers have never seen stated as a single figure.
