Does TechBrot use my existing QuickBooks file?

TechBrot is an independent bookkeeping and advisory firm led by a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor and is not affiliated with Intuit Inc.
What is bookkeeping, and what does a bookkeeper actually do?
Bookkeeping is the systematic recording, categorization, and reconciliation of every financial transaction a business makes. A professional bookkeeper enters transactions, categorizes them to the correct accounts, reconciles bank and credit card statements against the books, verifies payroll and sales tax entries, and produces reliable financial statements — profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow. Bookkeeping records and categorizes transactions; accounting interprets them — producing tax strategy, business advisory, and audit-ready financials. QuickBooks is the software; a bookkeeper is the professional who uses it correctly. Most businesses that try to use QuickBooks without a bookkeeper end up needing cleanup within 12 to 18 months.
Which bookkeeping engagement is right for my business?
It depends on the current state of your books. Monthly bookkeeping for books that are current and accurate — recurring engagement, named operator, monthly close, financial package by the 15th. Catch-up bookkeeping for books that are behind but otherwise structured correctly — brings backlog current then transitions to monthly. Bookkeeping cleanup for messy, miscategorized, or inaccurate books — reconstructs accurate books from a messy state then transitions to monthly. Multi-year historical cleanup for 3+ years behind, often required for business sales or SBA applications.
