How much does a QuickBooks cleanup cost?

QuickBooks cleanup projects start at $750. The final price depends on how many months need work and how tangled the file is. After a free assessment of your QuickBooks Online file, I give you a flat quote up front, so you know the full cost before any work begins.

How long does a QuickBooks cleanup take?

It depends on the volume and the state of the file, but many cleanups are finished within one to three weeks. If you're up against a tax deadline, let me know and I'll prioritize the time-sensitive work.

Do you work in QuickBooks Online or Desktop?

I work in QuickBooks Online. As a QuickBooks Certified Partner, I do all cleanups inside your QBO file using secure bank connections. If you're on Desktop, we can talk about whether moving to QuickBooks Online makes sense as part of the project.

What do you need from me to get started?

Mainly access to your QuickBooks Online file and your bank and credit card statements (or read-only bank connections) for the cleanup period. After your free assessment, I'll send a short checklist so you know exactly what to share.

What happens after my QuickBooks file is cleaned up?

You keep a clean, reconciled, tax-ready QuickBooks Online file. Many clients then move onto monthly bookkeeping so the file stays accurate and never drifts again, but there's no obligation to.

Starting at $750

QuickBooks Online is a powerful tool, but only when it's set up and maintained correctly. When transactions get auto-categorized to the wrong accounts, the bank feed creates duplicates, or no one has reconciled in months, the file quickly turns into a source of confusion instead of clarity. A QuickBooks cleanup service fixes the file itself: the chart of accounts, the categorization, the reconciliations, and the opening balances that everything else depends on.

I'm a QuickBooks Certified Partner with an accounting degree and more than ten years of experience untangling messy books. I'll go through your file account by account, correct the errors, reconcile every period back to your statements, and restructure the chart of accounts so your reports finally make sense. When I'm done, you'll have a clean QuickBooks Online file you can file taxes from, share with a lender, or simply trust. Everything is handled 100% remotely through QuickBooks Online and secure bank connections, with a flat quote given up front after a free assessment.
