Keeping books accurate

Can a bookkeeper clean up QuickBooks?

Short answer

Yes, a bookkeeper can clean up QuickBooks. A cleanup usually fixes the chart of accounts, removes duplicate transactions, clears the uncategorized balance, and reconciles every account month by month back to the last correct balance. Once the file matches the bank statements again, monthly bookkeeping keeps it accurate.

We do the same cleanup in Xero.
