# QuickBooks help from the people who do your taxes

Get QuickBooks set up right, cleaned up or finally understood, by an office that knows what your return needs from it.

- QuickBooks certified
- Setup, cleanup and training

## When QuickBooks stops making sense
- Your balances don't match the bank.
- Transactions are in the wrong categories, or in twice.
- You're starting a business and want it set up correctly from day one.
- You're not sure whether QuickBooks Online or Desktop is right for you.
- You want to learn to do it yourself, with someone to check your work.

## How we help with QuickBooks
- New company setup: chart of accounts, bank feeds, basic settings
- Cleanup of an existing file: categories, duplicates, reconciliations
- One-on-one training for you or your staff
- Choosing between QuickBooks Online and Desktop
- Ongoing help when questions come up
- A file that's ready for tax time

## How QuickBooks help works
1. **We look at your file.** Tell us what's wrong, or what you want to set up.
2. **We fix it or build it.** Clean categories, reconciled accounts, settings that fit your business.
3. **We show you how.** You leave knowing how to keep it right, with us a call away.

## QuickBooks that lines up with your tax return
We don't just clean up your file; we prepare returns from files like yours every season. So your QuickBooks is set up the way your tax return needs it, and nothing has to be redone in April.

## What QuickBooks help costs
Setup and training are usually quoted as a set price. Cleanup depends on how many months need attention. We'll look first and give you a clear price.
