QuickBooks cleanup

QuickBooks Cleanup Services in New Orleans, LA

Undeposited funds that never clear, accounts that duplicate themselves, reports nobody trusts: we repair QuickBooks files in New Orleans and leave a change log behind.

  • A ranked written list of problems before you commit to anything
  • A full diagnostic of your file before anything changes
  • A short walkthrough of what changed and why

Hospitality files break under volume. Daily sales entered one way in season and another way out of it, deposits that do not match the sales they represent, and tip handling that changed when the payroll provider changed and was never reconciled across the transition.

What's included

What our service covers in New Orleans

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

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.

Reconciliation catch-up

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

Owner draw and contribution split

Personal spending mixed into business accounts is separated out into draws and contributions so the profit figure means something.

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.

Payroll clearing cleanup

Payroll wired in through an integration often leaves a clearing account that never zeroes. We trace what is stuck in it and clear it against the real runs.

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 chart of accounts has grown to hundreds of unused lines
  • The same expense lands in a different account depending on who entered it
  • Opening balance equity holds a number nobody can explain
  • You inherited a file from a bookkeeper, partner or previous owner

Volume exposes every inconsistency

A restaurant posts enough transactions that any inconsistency compounds quickly. A sales summary method that changed midway through a year leaves two incompatible treatments, and reports spanning the change combine figures that are not comparable.

We establish one method, apply it across the file, and reconcile the sales system to the bank period by period rather than attempting to explain the current difference in a single pass.

Tip records need care across any payroll transition, since that is usually where the treatment quietly changed and nobody reconciled the two sides.
