QBO cleanup and catch-up

QuickBooks Cleanup for Monthly Bookkeeping

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 a process that closes most clients' books by the 3rd business day starting Month 2.

Delivery Model

Virtual-first QBO bookkeeping for U.S. service businesses

Monthly Close

Most clients' books closed by the 3rd business day starting Month 2

Platform

QuickBooks Online with CPA review and automation support

What is included

Monthly books that are current, reviewed, and useful.

The engagement is built around recurring monthly service, not a one-time cleanup. Cleanup and onboarding happen first so the close can run on a repeatable cadence.

Workflow

From messy handoffs to a repeatable close.

01

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.

02

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.

03

Move into monthly close

Once the baseline is clean enough, the engagement shifts into monthly reconciliations, CPA review, reporting, and a process that closes most clients' books by the 3rd business day starting Month 2.

Good fit

  • 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

Not a 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

Pricing path and next step.

Atkins CPA uses a single monthly offer: $3,000/month for client accounting services on QuickBooks Online. The free assessment confirms whether your books, workflow, and service needs match the model before you commit.

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.
