Accounting Software Setup & Cleanup

Your QuickBooks Is
a Mess. We'll
Fix It Right.

A wrong chart of accounts, duplicate transactions, miscategorized expenses, and broken bank feeds can quietly destroy the accuracy of your books for years. We set up QuickBooks Online correctly from scratch — or clean up what's already there so every number you look at is one you can trust.

What's Included

What We Build or
Fix for You.

A correct accounting setup is the foundation everything else depends on. Here's what we configure — whether we're building from scratch or cleaning up an existing mess.

Chart of Accounts Setup

We build or restructure your chart of accounts to match your industry, your business model, and IRS expense categories. Every account in the right place — no more dumping everything in "Other Expenses."

Bank & Credit Card Feed Configuration

All business bank accounts and credit cards are connected to QuickBooks via live bank feeds. Transactions flow in automatically, categorized correctly from day one.

Opening Balance Verification

Starting balances are verified against your actual bank statements and prior records. If they're off, we find out why and fix it — so your books are accurate from the first entry.

Duplicate & Error Cleanup

Duplicate transactions, manual entries that conflict with bank feeds, and misclassified items are identified and removed. Your transaction history is clean.

How It Works

Simple Process.
Fast Results.

01

Discovery Call

We review your current setup — or lack of one — identify what needs to be done, and give you a flat project quote upfront.

02

Access & Assessment

You grant us access to your QBO account (or we create one). We audit the existing structure and document everything that needs to change.

03

Build or Cleanup

We configure your chart of accounts, connect bank feeds, set rules, verify balances, and remove errors. We document every change made.

04

Review & Transition

We walk you through the finished setup, confirm everything looks right, and begin your monthly bookkeeping cycle.

Who It's For

Software Setup for
Every Starting Point.

Whether you're starting from zero or inheriting years of chaos, we meet you where you are.

🆕

Brand New to QuickBooks

You're starting a new business or switching from spreadsheets. You need QBO configured correctly from the start — not patched together over time.

  • New QBO account setup
  • Industry-appropriate chart of accounts
  • Bank and credit card feed connections
  • Puzzle.io dashboard configuration
  • First month of bookkeeping included
🔧

Existing Books Are a Mess

You've been using QBO but the chart of accounts is wrong, bank feeds are broken, or your history is full of errors. You need a cleanup before numbers can be trusted.

  • Full account structure audit
  • Chart of accounts rebuild
  • Duplicate transaction removal
  • Bank feed reconnection and cleanup
  • Error correction and reconciliation
🔄

Switching Bookkeepers

Your previous bookkeeper left the QBO account in an unknown state. You need someone to assess what's there, fix what's wrong, and take over.

  • Prior bookkeeper access audit
  • Structure review and correction
  • Opening balance verification
  • Transition to clean monthly service
  • Documentation of all changes made

Wrong Setup Costs
More Than You Think.

An incorrect QuickBooks setup doesn't just produce wrong reports — it corrupts your financial history and makes every decision based on that data wrong too.

📊

Reports You Can't Trust

If your chart of accounts is wrong, your P&L is wrong. Revenue in the wrong account, expenses miscategorized — the numbers look fine until you compare them to reality.

💸

CPA Cleanup Bills

Every error your accountant has to fix at tax time adds to their bill. A QBO setup done wrong from the start typically costs $500–$2,000 extra at year-end.

🔁

Duplicate Transactions

Bank feeds plus manual entry plus imported data = duplicate transactions everywhere. They inflate both revenue and expenses in ways that are hard to spot.

🏛️

Audit Risk

Miscategorized expenses and unreconciled accounts are red flags for auditors. A clean, accurate setup dramatically reduces your risk profile.
