How much does QuickBooks cleanup cost?
The cost of a QuickBooks cleanup depends on the work inside the file. Two businesses that are six months behind can need very different levels of repair. Clarity starts with a $49 diagnostic to identify priority issues and recommend a separate cleanup scope.
Start with the $49 QuickBooks diagnostic →What determines your cleanup scope?
The review considers the period to be cleaned up, the number of bank and credit card accounts, transaction volume, and the condition of prior reconciliations. Historical balance problems can require more investigation than simply categorizing recent activity.
Missing statements, duplicate transactions, unresolved receivables and payables, and incomplete supporting records can also change the work. A useful proposal names the accounts and periods included, the reports you will receive, and any unresolved items that need your CPA’s decision.
What does the $49 diagnostic include?
The diagnostic is a focused review, a plain-English summary of priority issues, and a recommended next step. It helps you understand the likely cleanup scope before committing to a larger engagement.
The $49 fee covers the assessment. It does not include a full reconciliation or transaction-by-transaction correction. Cleanup work is scoped separately, and there is no obligation to purchase it.
What should you gather before asking for a quote?
Know which QuickBooks product you use, roughly how many months are behind, the last period you believe was reconciled, and any CPA deadline. A list of active bank and credit card accounts is also useful.
Use the intake form to describe the problem. Do not send passwords, account numbers, statements, or tax documents through the public form; access and document sharing are arranged separately.
Can several years of books be cleaned up?
Tell us which years need attention and which returns have already been filed. We review the available records and agree on a realistic scope before work begins. Changes affecting filed periods should be coordinated with your tax professional.
