Sort Out Your QuickBooks File in Seattle, Washington
Your QuickBooks file should tell you what the business actually did last month. If it does not, we find out why, fix it in order of impact and document every change.
- Manual journal entries traced back to their purpose
- Chart of accounts repaired without losing history
- Read-only access — we never need to move money
Consultancies and seasonal operators break their files in opposite directions. One has projects that were never closed and time that was never costed. The other has a year of activity compressed into a few months and a chart of accounts that assumes even trading.
What our service covers in Seattle
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
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.
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.
Opening balance equity cleanup
A balance sitting in opening balance equity means something was set up without a counterpart. We work out what, then post it where it belongs.
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.
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 Seattle businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You have stopped trusting the reports the file produces
- You are preparing for a loan application, a sale or due diligence
- Your accountant bills extra every year to untangle the file first
- Balances like undeposited funds or opening balance equity make no sense
Opposite problems, one file each
For a consultancy the failure is uncosted engagements: projects tracked for billing but never carrying the cost of the people who did the work, so every project appears profitable.
For a seasonal operator the failure is structural — a file that reports monthly against expectations that only make sense annually, generating alarm every off-season.
We fix whichever applies rather than applying a standard cleanup. Establishing which pattern the business has takes a conversation at the start and saves considerable wasted work.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
The handover walkthrough covers what caused the problems and how to avoid repeating them. If you want ongoing training or monthly bookkeeping so the file stays clean, that is a separate arrangement we can discuss.
