Key considerations
Details that can change the result.
Transfers should not become income or expense
Movement between accounts is commonly duplicated or misclassified. Correct transfer treatment protects both financial reports and tax preparation.
The chart of accounts should support decisions
Too few accounts hide useful information; too many create inconsistency. The right structure reflects the business, tax return, and reports the owner actually uses.
Frequently asked questions
Start with the right questions.
Can prior-year QuickBooks transactions be corrected?
Yes, but closed or filed periods require care. Corrections should be documented and coordinated with prior tax returns when they change reported amounts.
Do you provide ongoing bookkeeping?
Services are scoped to the client’s needs. Cleanup, review, reporting, and advisory support can be provided separately from routine transaction entry.
What should I provide for a cleanup?
Common items include QuickBooks access, bank and credit-card statements, loan documents, payroll reports, prior tax returns, and explanations for unusual transactions.
