QuickBooks cleanup

QuickBooks Diagnostic and Cleanup in San Jose, California

A QuickBooks file drifts quietly — a wrong account here, a duplicate there. We audit yours in San Jose, correct it and reconcile it back to the statements.

  • A ranked written list of problems before you commit to anything
  • Bank, card and processor accounts reconciled to statement
  • Prior-year comparisons still work after the repair

Files from engineering consultancies and contract manufacturers usually reconcile perfectly and still misreport, because the receivables ledger has been accumulating for years. Invoices paid outside the system, credits never applied, disputes closed by agreement but never recorded in the file. Everything reconciles because the bank agrees; the ledger of what customers owe is the part that stopped being true.

What's included

What our service covers in San Jose

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.

File diagnostic

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

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.

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.

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…

  • Balances like undeposited funds or opening balance equity make no sense
  • Opening balance equity holds a number nobody can explain
  • You have stopped trusting the reports the file produces
  • Your accountant bills extra every year to untangle the file first

A receivables ledger nobody trusts

With a small number of large customers, a stale receivables ledger is worse than useless — it is actively misleading about the one thing that matters most, which is what is genuinely owed.

We work through it invoice by invoice with you, establishing what was actually settled, what is genuinely outstanding and what should be written off. That is a conversation rather than a technical exercise, and it is the only way to do it accurately.

Unapplied credits and payments are the usual second finding, sitting in the file offsetting nothing.

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, and many clients move onto monthly bookkeeping once the file is repaired — it is the reliable way to stop the drift returning. It is optional and quoted separately.
