QUICKBOOKS ONLINE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
QuickBooks Online Management services are designed for businesses that need their accounting file reviewed, corrected, built, or extended—but are not yet ready for, or do not require, ongoing monthly accounting support.
This work focuses on the structure and integrity of your QuickBooks Online file. Whether you’re starting fresh, correcting historical issues, catching up on past activity, or connecting third-party applications, these services ensure your financial system is accurate, organized, and aligned with how your business actually operates.
Each service is offered as a standalone engagement, scoped and priced based on your specific needs. The goal is to establish a clean, professional financial foundation that supports compliance, reporting, and informed decision-making moving forward.
Below are the four QuickBooks Online Management services I provide.
QBO DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW
A QBO Diagnostic Review is a structured assessment of your existing QuickBooks Online file to identify accuracy issues, structural gaps, and areas of risk.
This service is appropriate if your books don’t feel reliable, reports don’t make sense, or you’re unsure whether your file is properly set up for how your business operates today. The review focuses on how transactions are recorded, how accounts are structured, and whether your current setup supports clean reporting and tax preparation.
At the conclusion of the review, you’ll have a clear understanding of:
- The current condition of your QuickBooks Online file
- What is working as intended and what is not
- The specific corrective steps required, if any, to bring the file up to a professional standard
This service is diagnostic only. No changes are made to your file as part of the review. Any recommended next steps are scoped and priced separately.
QBO FILE CLEAN UP
A QBO File Clean Up is a corrective engagement designed to resolve structural and accuracy issues within an existing QuickBooks Online file.
This service is appropriate when a file has been set up incorrectly, transactions have been misclassified, accounts are out of balance, or financial reports are no longer reliable. Clean up work focuses on correcting historical issues so the file reflects accurate activity and supports proper reporting and tax preparation.
QBO File Clean Up engagements are scoped based on the findings of a completed Diagnostic Review. This ensures the corrective work is targeted, efficient, and aligned with the specific issues identified in your file.
Depending on the condition of the file, cleanup work may include:
- Correcting account structure and classifications
- Resolving reconciliation discrepancies
- Addressing improperly recorded or duplicated transactions
- Clearing out the undeposited funds account
- Bringing historical activity into alignment where gaps exist
The goal of a QBO File Clean Up is to restore confidence in your financial data and establish a clean foundation for future accounting work.
NEW QBO FILE SET UP
A New QBO File Set Up is designed for businesses that are starting fresh in QuickBooks Online or transitioning from spreadsheets, desktop software, or another accounting platform.
This service focuses on building a QuickBooks Online file that reflects how your business actually operates. The setup is structured to support accurate transaction recording, clear reporting, and efficient use of the platform from the start.
New QBO File Set Up engagements are scoped and priced based on your business structure, reporting needs, and any integrations required. This ensures your file is built intentionally, rather than relying on default settings that may not align with your operations.
A properly configured QBO file provides a strong foundation for ongoing accounting, reporting, and tax preparation.
QBO INTEGRATION WITH A 3RD PARTY APPLICATION
QBO Integration services are designed for businesses that rely on third-party applications to support operations such as invoicing, payments, payroll, time tracking, inventory, or property management.
This service focuses on ensuring third-party tools are connected to QuickBooks Online correctly and intentionally. Proper integration helps reduce manual work, improve data accuracy, and ensure transactions flow into your accounting system in a way that supports clean reporting.
QBO Integration engagements are scoped and priced based on the application involved, the complexity of the connection, and the level of customization required. This may include reviewing existing integrations, correcting mapping issues, or implementing new connections.
The goal of this service is to ensure your systems work together cohesively—so your financial data remains accurate, consistent, and reliable.
