Signs of a Problem

When QuickBooks needs cleanup

A QuickBooks file can contain months or years of transactions and still produce unreliable financial statements. Cleanup focuses on correcting the bookkeeping already in the file so the business can move forward with reconciled, understandable records.

  • Bank or credit-card balances do not agree with statements.
  • Transactions are duplicated, miscoded or sitting in Uncategorized accounts.
  • Undeposited Funds contains old or unexplained balances.
  • Accounts receivable or accounts payable includes stale or incorrect items.
  • Payroll, sales-tax, loan or other balance-sheet accounts do not make sense.
  • Opening balances or prior-period entries are unreliable.
  • A previous bookkeeper left incomplete or inconsistent work.
  • A CPA or tax preparer has asked for bookkeeping corrections.
What We Fix

Common QuickBooks cleanup problems we address

Unreconciled bank and credit-card accounts

We investigate reconciliation differences and correct bookkeeping issues so the accounts can be brought into agreement with the underlying statements.

Duplicate and miscoded transactions

We identify duplicate bank-feed activity and transactions recorded to inappropriate income, expense, asset, liability or equity accounts.

Uncategorized transactions

We review Uncategorized Income, Uncategorized Expense and similar holding accounts and classify transactions using the available records and business information.

Undeposited Funds

Old balances can result from customer payments, deposits or bank-feed transactions being recorded incorrectly. We trace the activity and correct the bookkeeping.

Accounts receivable and accounts payable

We review old invoices, customer payments, vendor bills, credits and payments that may be creating inaccurate receivable or payable balances.

Payroll and sales-tax liabilities

We review bookkeeping balances against available payroll reports, sales-tax returns and payment records. For New Jersey businesses, relevant records may include New Jersey sales-tax returns and payroll filings such as NJ-927 and WR-30. OneBooks provides bookkeeping services, not tax-return preparation or legal advice.

Balance-sheet and opening-balance issues

We review loans, credit cards, clearing accounts, fixed assets, owner activity and unexplained historical balances that affect the reliability of the financial statements.

Working With Your CPA

When your CPA says the books need cleanup

If your CPA or tax preparer has identified bookkeeping problems, OneBooks can correct and reconcile the QuickBooks Online file so more reliable records can be provided for tax or financial work. Our role is bookkeeping cleanup; your CPA or tax preparer remains responsible for tax advice and tax-return preparation.

Inherited Problems

When a previous bookkeeper left a mess

A bookkeeping transition can expose unreconciled accounts, duplicate transactions, unexplained balances and incomplete historical work. OneBooks can assess the existing file, define what needs to be corrected and complete the cleanup without requiring the business to start over.
