Clean Up Your QuickBooks File in Tampa, FL
Inherited a messy QuickBooks file in Tampa? We diagnose it, correct every error and hand it back CPA-ready — with a documented log of what changed.
- Old open invoices and unapplied credits resolved
- Read-only access — we never need to move money
- A documented change log your CPA can follow
The files we clean up here usually suffer from growth rather than neglect. Every time a new question arose, someone added an account, and after a few years the chart of accounts runs to hundreds of entries, most of them used twice.
What our service covers in Tampa
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Loan and asset account review
Loan balances that never amortize and assets that were expensed instead of capitalized get identified and corrected, with the reasoning documented.
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.
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.
Undeposited funds cleanup
The single most common wreck in a QuickBooks file — we work out what the phantom balance is made of and clear it against real transactions.
Chart of accounts repair
We merge duplicate accounts and restructure the chart, then remap history so your prior-year comparisons still work.
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 Tampa businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- Your CPA has said the file needs work before they can use it
- Balances like undeposited funds or opening balance equity make no sense
- Month-end takes days because nothing ties out
- Opening balance equity holds a number nobody can explain
An account list nobody can navigate
Too many accounts is as damaging as too few. Similar costs land in different places depending on who entered them, so no account is a reliable total and the reports become unreadable.
We merge and retire down to a structure that reflects the decisions you actually make, keeping detail only where it changes something. That usually means a substantially shorter list.
Merging is not reversible, so we agree the target structure with you and your accountant before touching anything rather than tidying on our own judgement.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Catch-up is for periods where the work was never done. Cleanup is for a file where work was done badly — the transactions exist but are wrong or in the wrong place. Some Tampa businesses need both, and we will tell you if yours does.
