When bookkeepers land a new client, their first task is analyzing the company’s QuickBooks Online file for accuracy. Learn how to price a diagnostic and clean up common QBO errors!

 

Cleanup Essentials in QBO Course Description

Business owners think they’re saving money by doing their own books, but eventually they realize their reports are all wrong, and seek help. In this course we’ll look at common mistakes companies make, and how to fix them.

Looking at a new client's books and preparing for a QBO cleanup can feel like driving in the fog...

  • You know you need to review everything but you're not sure where to start. 
  • You're not sure if the previous bookkeeper made mistakes or just how bad they might be. 
  • You know you need to review everything but you're not sure where to start. 
  • You don't want to miss anything (who needs surprises later on?) but you don't want to spend hours on a review that may not even result in a new client. 
  • You don't want to waste time and energy going back and forth or diving down every rabbit hole to find the source of the problems. 
  • You have no clue how long it will take to clean up the mess, or how to price a job like this because there's no structure at all.

Imagine how much easier it would be if you had a proven system for reviewing new QBO files!

  • Say goodbye to free reviews and hours of wasted time.
  • Review books faster without missing a thing.
  • Get a complete picture of your clients' books BEFORE you start an engagement.
  • Create massive value for your clients and offer targeted cleanup and bookkeeping packages.
  • Turn reviews into ongoing monthly clients more often.

Veronica Wasek of 5 Minute Bookkeeping created a full 15-hour program with everything you need to know, but if you're just getting started, that can be overwhelming.
