The Wacky World of QBO Cleanup
First, let’s paint a picture of the typical QuickBooks Online account. Imagine your QBO dashboard as a room filled with stacks of paperwork, a maze of sticky notes, and perhaps a treasure chest or two, overlooked amidst the chaos. While this setup might earn you a starring role on the next episode of “Hoarders: Accounting Edition,” it won’t help you run an efficient business.
But fear not! The solution is simpler than you might think: a good old-fashioned cleanup!

The Hidden Fortune in Your Financial Junkyard
Think of QBO cleanup like a treasure hunt. Buried beneath your uncategorized transactions, outdated reports, and multiple, inexplicable versions of the same invoice, there could be pure financial gold! By taking the time to categorize transactions correctly, reconcile accounts, and delete duplicate entries, you’re essentially panning for gold in the river of your financial records. Eureka!

Marie Kondo-ing Your QuickBooks
