Get Your QuickBooks File CPA-Ready in Portland
If your QuickBooks numbers no longer add up, we find what is wrong, fix it and give your CPA a file they can actually work in.
- Bank, card and processor accounts reconciled to statement
- A documented change log your CPA can follow
- Prior-year comparisons still work after the repair
Studios and brands that do both client work and product sales run them through one file, and the file cannot tell them apart. Inventory costs blend with project costs, shared overheads sit undistributed, and neither side of the business has a margin anyone can trust.
What our service covers in Portland
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.
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.
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.
Journal entry audit
Every manual adjustment in the period is traced back to what it was meant to do; anything unsupported is listed for your CPA.
Duplicate removal
Charges entered twice, feed reconnections that pulled history again, payments booked against the wrong invoice — all found and corrected.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
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.
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.
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 Portland businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- Balances like undeposited funds or opening balance equity make no sense
- You have stopped trusting the reports the file produces
- The same expense lands in a different account depending on who entered it
- You are considering starting a fresh file and want advice first
Two business models, one profit and loss
A product line and a client services line have different cost structures and different margins. Reported together they produce an average describing neither, and the average is usually flattering to whichever side is weaker.
We separate them within the file, allocate shared overheads on a basis agreed with you, and restate the history so prior periods carry the same split.
That frequently shows that one side has been subsidising the other for years, which is usually the reason the cleanup was commissioned even when nobody phrased it that way.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Every correction is documented with its reason, so the conversation is about evidence rather than opinion. We are happy to walk a previous bookkeeper or your CPA through the log.
