From Store Owner to Confident Bookkeeper

This business owner had experience with accounting but needed expert help to get their QuickBooks set up correctly and stay compliant while preparing to sell one of their retail locations.

After purchasing a two-location retail business, the client needed accurate, organized books to support their goal of selling one store within 24 months. While they had accounting experience, they struggled with getting complex sales and inventory data into QuickBooks and needed support setting up reliable systems for day-to-day bookkeeping. They also needed guidance on how to properly separate and track each location’s financials, including payroll and sales activity.

    We built custom workflows to make payroll recording and monthly sales tracking easier, reducing manual work and minimizing missed deductions.

  • Inventory & Cash Value Tracking
