Documented findings
The report explains the areas reviewed, the issues identified, why they matter, and any questions that need more information. It is written in plain English so you can discuss it with your CPA, bookkeeper, or team.
THE COMPLETE CHECK
Understand what's happening in your QuickBooks file.
If your books aren't making sense, a diagnostic gives us a place to start. I review your QuickBooks setup, accounts, reconciliations, and other relevant areas, then explain the findings and recommended next steps in a detailed report built around your business.

Why the diagnostic has to come first
An unexplained balance can have more than one cause. Correcting an entry before understanding the related transactions or setup can leave important questions unresolved. The Complete Check helps us understand the issues and plan the cleanup before we begin changing the records.
Your reports don't match your bank
Your CPA keeps finding errors
A previous cleanup hasn't resolved your concerns
Nobody can explain the numbers anymore
You don't trust what QuickBooks is telling you
What I look at
The accounting areas that help us understand your file.
QuickBooks Settings
How your file is configured and whether the setup is causing problems before a single transaction is even recorded.
Balance Sheet
Bank accounts, credit cards, assets, liabilities, and equity. Account balances reviewed for unexplained amounts, supporting records, and reconciliation status.
Bank Accounts and Reconciliations
Unreconciled transactions, duplicate accounts, misallocated activity, and anything that doesn't tie back to your actual bank statements.
Profit and Loss
Income accounts, COGS, and expenses reviewed for correct classification and whether your reports actually reflect what your business made.
Sales Tax
Whether your sales tax is set up correctly, being applied correctly, and whether your payments are going to the right place.
Payroll
Payroll setup, liability accounts, and whether your payroll activity is being recorded in a way that makes sense across the file.
Vendors, Customers, and 1099s
Vendor records, customer invoicing, outstanding balances, products and services mapping, and records relevant to 1099 reporting.
Federal Tax Return Tie-Out
A comparison of your QuickBooks totals to your most recently filed federal tax return to see if the numbers actually align.
What you get
A report built around your file.
The action items to fix it
The report includes recommended steps for correcting the findings, with priorities and any supporting information still needed. You can share it with your CPA or bookkeeper, or use it to plan your next steps.
A proposal to do the work
The report includes a proposal if you would like me to handle the cleanup. The scope and pricing follow the diagnostic findings and the work involved. You decide whether to move forward.
Pricing
What the Complete Check costs
The Complete Check starts at $375. Your exact price is based on the complexity of your file and is calculated automatically as you fill out the intake form. Pricing runs from $375 to $575.
If you move forward with cleanup, the full amount you paid for the Complete Check is credited toward the cleanup project. You are not paying for the diagnostic on top of the cleanup. It rolls in.
Is this right for you?
Who the Complete Check is for
This is for you if:
- You don't trust your numbers
- Your reports don't match your bank statements
- Your CPA keeps finding errors at tax time
- A previous cleanup left unresolved questions
- You have multiple entities or intercompany activity
- You just need to know what is actually wrong
A different service may fit better if:
- You need someone to do your books every month
- Your file is already accurate and reconciled
- You want a quick look instead of a full review
- You need to discuss access or supporting documents before starting
What happens next
After the Complete Check
Start with the intake form and QuickBooks access. I review the file and supporting information, document the findings, and prepare your report and recommended action items. You'll also receive a proposal if you want me to handle the cleanup. You can share the report with the professional you choose.
Let's work out your next steps.
You don't need all the answers before starting. The Complete Check helps you understand the findings, the recommended cleanup, and the proposed scope and cost.
