Absolutely! I begin with a review of your QuickBooks Online and available financial records to determine how far behind your books are, how many accounts are involved, the volume of transactions, and the condition of your records. Once I understand the scope of the work, I’ll provide a customized cleanup proposal outlining the services and pricing before work begins.
-
Yes. I can help contractors organize project-related expenses, including materials, subcontractor costs, labor, and other job-related expenses, based on the records provided. As an Independent QuickBooks Consulting Professional(s), I can help track costs by job and provide available job-costing reports to help you better understand project expenses. Accurate reporting depends on receiving receipts, vendor invoices, payroll information, and clear job or project assignments. Revenue and costs must be properly recorded for meaningful profitability reporting.
