Is a setup or cleanup right for you?
New and growing Murrieta businesses usually need it at the start, and established ones need it when the file has become hard to use.
You are just starting out
Setting up correctly at the beginning saves a larger cleanup later.
Your reports do not make sense
Messy categories produce reports nobody trusts, and a restructure can fix that.
You are switching software
Moving to a new system is a good time to simplify an overgrown list of accounts.
How setup works
We talk through your business
How you get paid, what you buy and what you want to track determines the structure.
We build the file
We set up accounts, feeds and lists, then test them with a few real transactions.
We hand it over
You receive the file and a short guide, and we can continue with ongoing bookkeeping if you want.
What this service does and does not cover
Setup works in the accounting software you choose; tell us which one on the quote form. We do not resell software, and software subscription fees are paid by you directly. Ongoing categorizing and reconciling are covered by monthly bookkeeping.

Accounting Software Setup FAQs
Which accounting software should I use?
The best choice is usually the one your tax preparer can work with and that fits your size. We will ask about your business and make a recommendation, and you decide.
Can you fix my existing file instead of starting over?
Often yes, by merging duplicate accounts and reassigning categories. If the file is too tangled, starting a fresh one with carried-over balances can be cleaner, and we will say which applies.
How many accounts should my chart of accounts have?
As few as give you useful reports. Too many categories make reports noisy, and too few hide where money goes. We tune the list to your business.
