When the Books Need More Than a Quick Fix
Sometimes the issue isn’t simply that transactions need to be entered. The underlying records may need to be investigated before anyone can confidently rely on the financial statements.
The numbers don’t look right
Reports don’t seem to match what the owner knows about the business.
Accounts aren’t reconciled
Bank and credit-card balances may be inaccurate or months behind.
The client is confused
They have QuickBooks reports, but don’t understand what the numbers are telling them.
Are You a CPA With a Client Whose Books Need Attention?
You don’t have to take on the cleanup yourself.
Refer your client to Iris for a Financial Diagnostic Review and QuickBooks cleanup when their financial records need a closer look.
When to Refer
When Should a CPA Refer a Client?
Refer a client when:
- Their QuickBooks file has fallen behind.
- Bank or credit-card accounts aren’t reconciled.
- The financial statements don’t appear reliable.
- Transactions have been categorized incorrectly.
- The chart of accounts needs attention.
- The client doesn’t understand what their reports are telling them.
You need someone to investigate the books before you or your client can move forward.
That’s where I come in.
