Fix a Broken QuickBooks File in Washington
Inherited a messy QuickBooks file in Washington? We diagnose it, correct every error and hand it back CPA-ready — with a documented log of what changed.
- Chart of accounts repaired without losing history
- Old open invoices and unapplied credits resolved
- A short walkthrough of what changed and why
Funded organisations tend to arrive with files where programme tracking was set up correctly and then applied inconsistently, usually because several people entered transactions and only some of them knew the convention. The reports look complete and quietly are not.
What our service covers in Washington
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Payroll clearing cleanup
Payroll wired in through an integration often leaves a clearing account that never zeroes. We trace what is stuck in it and clear it against the real runs.
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.
Receivables & payables reset
Old open invoices from customers who paid, credits never applied and double-entered bills brought back to reality.
Vendor and customer dedupe
The same supplier entered three ways splits your reporting three ways. We merge duplicates carefully so history and open balances survive the merge.
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.
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 Washington businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You changed bookkeepers and the handover was incomplete
- You need clean books before bringing on a partner or investor
- Opening balance equity holds a number nobody can explain
- The same expense lands in a different account depending on who entered it
Partial tracking reports as though it were complete
A transaction with no programme assigned does not appear in any programme report, and nothing in the report indicates something is missing. The totals simply come up short and everyone assumes spending was lower.
We identify every unassigned transaction across the file, work through the assignments with you, and then set the file so entries cannot be saved without one.
That second part matters more than the cleanup itself. Without it, the gap reopens as soon as the next person who does not know the convention starts entering.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
We correct how sales tax is recorded in the file and flag any gap between what was collected and what was filed. Preparing or filing the returns themselves is your CPA or tax preparer, not us.
