Your File, Set Up Right And Kept That Way.

QuickBooks Online set up properly, bank and card feeds connected, old miscoding cleaned up and the file managed day to day by QuickBooks Online ProAdvisors. You keep access and ownership the entire time.

QuickBooks Online Setup And Management In Michigan

QuickBooks Online is only as good as the way it was set up. A file started in a hurry, with default accounts, half-connected feeds and a year of transactions sorted by best guess, produces reports nobody believes. A lot of owners arrive with some version of that file, and fixing it is where we start.

Every partner at True North is a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor, and it is the platform all of our client work runs on. We set up and manage files for businesses across Michigan and virtually nationwide as part of our bookkeeping services.

  • New files built properly from the first day
  • Existing files cleaned up and restructured
  • Payroll from Gusto, ADP or QuickBooks Payroll recorded correctly
  • Ongoing management by people who work in the platform daily

What We Handle Inside Your QuickBooks Online File

Setup is only the start. Keeping the file accurate month after month is the part that pays off.

Setup Done Properly

Company settings, sales tax, opening balances and a chart of accounts built around your business. The file starts from something that fits, instead of a template you spend years working around.

Bank And Card Feeds Connected

Every bank, credit card and loan account connected, with rules so recurring transactions land in the right place. Feeds only save time when someone checks them, so we reconcile each account to its statement.

Old Miscoding Cleaned Up

Transactions in the wrong accounts, duplicates from double-connected feeds, balances that never reconciled. We trace what went wrong before we arrived, correct it and leave notes so the history makes sense.

Managed From Here On

Once the file is right, we keep it that way through monthly bookkeeping: transactions coded, accounts reconciled and the month closed. Platform questions get answered by people who use it every day.

The File Stays In Your Name

You keep full access to and ownership of your QuickBooks Online file the whole time we work together. We work inside it as your accountants, not as its owners. It is the record of your business, and it belongs in your hands. If you ever move on, the file and its complete history stay with you, with nothing held back.

QuickBooks Online Questions Owners Bring Us

What does being a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor actually mean?

It is the QuickBooks certification for accounting professionals, earned through training and testing on the platform. Every partner at our firm holds it. In practice, it means the people setting up and managing your file know where these files tend to go wrong and how to put them right.

Can you clean up a file someone else set up?

Yes, and it is one of the most common ways we start. We review the account structure, reconcile each account back to where it last balanced, fix miscoded and duplicate transactions and document what changed. If the file is years behind, that work is scoped separately through annual and catch-up bookkeeping.

We use different software today. Can you move us over?

Yes. We build the new QuickBooks Online file properly, bring across opening balances and the history you need, and reconcile it before anyone starts working in it. The aim is a clean starting point, not a copy of the old problems.

Will I still be able to log in and see my numbers?

Always. You keep your own login and can look whenever you like. Some owners check the bank balance and open invoices every morning, while others wait for the monthly walk-through. Either way, the work in your engagement letter stays with us, and the file stays yours.
