QuickBooks cleanup

QuickBooks Diagnostic and Cleanup in Raleigh, North Carolina

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

  • Chart of accounts repaired without losing history
  • A fixed project fee — no hourly meter
  • A full diagnostic of your file before anything changes

Technology and research companies commonly arrive with opening balances that were never properly established. The file was created partway through the company's life, prior activity was entered as a lump, and opening balance equity has carried an unexplained figure ever since.

What's included

What our service covers in Raleigh

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

Receivables & payables reset

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

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.

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.

Class and location tagging repair

If you track departments, sites or funds, we repair the tagging so segment reports stop disagreeing with the totals.

Chart of accounts repair

We merge duplicate accounts and restructure the chart, then remap history so your prior-year comparisons still work.

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 Raleigh businesses choose Feather Accounting

A full backup taken before any change is made
A named bookkeeper who owns your account, not a rotating queue
Open questions listed rather than guessed at
Records kept to a standard your CPA can pick up without a redo
Plain-English explanations rather than accounting shorthand
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
  • Balances like undeposited funds or opening balance equity make no sense

The figure nobody can explain

Opening balance equity is a holding account. Anything left in it means the opening position was never fully allocated, and that unexplained balance is one of the first things a reviewer notices.

We trace what the balance actually represents, allocate it where it belongs and clear the account.

Where records from before the file was created no longer support full allocation, we agree a treatment with you and your accountant and document it explicitly. A documented judgement withstands scrutiny; an unexplained balance does not.
