QuickBooks Online setup

QuickBooks Online, set up the right way

Starting a new business, moving off spreadsheets, or ready for a fresh start on a messy file? I'll set up QuickBooks Online so it fits how your business actually works.

What's included

A setup that works from day one

A chart of accounts that fits

Income and expense categories built around your business and what your tax preparer needs, not a generic list you'll never use.

Bank and card feeds connected

Your bank and credit card accounts linked so transactions flow in automatically, plus rules that categorize the routine ones for you.

A walkthrough for you

When setup is done, I show you how to use it: where to look, what to do each week, and what to leave to me if you'd like.

Who it's for

  • New businesses that want to start with clean books instead of fixing them later.
  • Owners moving off spreadsheets or a shoebox of receipts.
  • Businesses with a messy QuickBooks file that would be easier to rebuild than to repair. If your file is fixable, a cleanup may make more sense, and I'll tell you which.

Why a certified ProAdvisor?

I'm certified in QuickBooks Online, so your file is set up with the accounts, settings, and connections that keep it accurate as your business grows. A good setup is the difference between reports you trust and a cleanup bill next year.

Questions

QuickBooks setup FAQ

How much does QuickBooks Online setup cost?

Setups are quoted after a free consultation, because a one-person service business needs a lot less than a company with inventory and employees. You'll know the price before any work begins.

Which QuickBooks Online plan should I buy?

It depends on what you need. Many small businesses don't need the most expensive plan. I'll recommend the one that fits so you're not paying for features you won't use.

Can you fix my existing QuickBooks file instead?

Often, yes. After looking at your file, I'll tell you whether a cleanup or a fresh setup is the better value.

Will you keep my books after setup?

If you'd like. Many clients move straight into monthly bookkeeping, but you're also welcome to run it yourself after the walkthrough.
