# QuickBooks Cleanup for Monthly Bookkeeping

## Quick Answer

Atkins CPA provides QuickBooks Online cleanup when it is part of an ongoing monthly bookkeeping engagement. Cleanup is scoped after assessment, priced as a separate cleanup fee after assessment when needed, and used to create the baseline for recurring reconciliations, CPA review, and books closed by the 3rd business day starting Month 2.

## What Is Included

- QuickBooks Online file assessment before cleanup scope is finalized
- Bank and credit card reconciliation catch-up for scoped accounts
- Chart of accounts review and cleanup recommendations
- Transaction reclassification and exception cleanup where source records support it
- Separate cleanup fee after assessment when historical catch-up is needed
- Transition into ongoing monthly bookkeeping with CPA-reviewed closes

## Service Area

United States

## Who It Fits

- Businesses already on QuickBooks Online or willing to move to it
- Owners who need historical cleanup before a reliable monthly close can start
- Businesses willing to provide statements, receipts, documents, and answers
- Construction and manufacturing operators who can support a digital QuickBooks Online workflow

## Who It Does Not Fit

- Tax preparation, tax filing, audit, attest, or assurance engagements
- Businesses that refuse QuickBooks Online
- Paper-first or cash-heavy operations that cannot support digital source records
- Businesses missing statements or source documents needed to reconcile the file
- Businesses unwilling to separate personal and business activity
- One-time-only cleanup projects that do not continue into monthly bookkeeping

## Monthly Workflow

### 1. Assess the file

We review QuickBooks Online access, bank feeds, statements, reconciliation history, chart of accounts, open exceptions, and whether the file can support a monthly close.

### 2. Scope cleanup separately

Cleanup is defined after assessment so the project matches the actual condition of the file. Historical catch-up carries a separate cleanup fee when needed.

### 3. Move into monthly close

Once the baseline is clean enough, the engagement shifts into monthly reconciliations, CPA review, reporting, and books closed by the 3rd business day starting Month 2.

## Pricing Path

Atkins CPA uses a single monthly offer: $3,000/month for client accounting services on QuickBooks Online. Start with a free assessment so Hunter can confirm fit, QuickBooks Online readiness, and what needs to happen in Month 1.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I hire Atkins CPA for one-time QuickBooks cleanup only?**

No. Cleanup is only offered when it leads into ongoing monthly bookkeeping. The goal is a clean baseline plus a repeatable close, not a one-time file repair.

**How is cleanup priced?**

Monthly bookkeeping is $3,000/month. Historical cleanup is assessed separately and priced as a separate cleanup fee after Hunter reviews the file, statements, missing records, and reconciliation status.

**Can you help construction and manufacturing businesses?**

Yes, construction and manufacturing can be a fit when the business uses QuickBooks Online, can provide digital source records, and the cleanup can be scoped into a clear ongoing monthly close.

**What makes a cleanup not viable?**

A cleanup is usually not viable if the business refuses QuickBooks Online, is paper-first or cash-heavy, is missing needed statements, mixes personal and business activity, or only wants one-time cleanup without monthly bookkeeping.
