What's Involved in a Clean-Up?
Updated: 5 days ago
We can't tell you how many times, we been told that the new prospect's books are totally fine and not much to clean up. Unfortunately, most of our new clients do not understand the ins and outs of Quickbooks, so what seems like it's in order, is not. However, that's what we fix when we go in and do our "detective" work.

The work to clean up one's books can be extensive depending on the type of business and how many features are used in Quickbooks. Here is the list:
Chart of Accounts:
Organize for money management (not just tax purposes)
Add Loans (these should be tracked)
Add Missing Accounts (these are needed to fully assess costs)
Delete Duplicate Accounts

Registers:
