Online and virtual bookkeeping services

Online and virtual bookkeeping services at a fixed monthly fee: your senior bookkeeper works inside your own cloud QuickBooks file, transactions flow in through bank feeds, documents are shared securely, and the books are reconciled and closed every month, while you keep full access and ownership of your file.

Or send the details instead

If your file needs our paid diagnostic first, its fee is credited in full against the cleanup. Either way, you get a fixed fee in writing before any work starts.

The cloud delivery model

How online bookkeeping works with us.

Online delivery comes down to a handful of moving parts — where the file lives, how transactions arrive, how documents move, how we stay in touch, and who keeps control.

Element 01 · We work inside your own cloud file

Online bookkeeping runs in QuickBooks Online — a cloud file that lives under your subscription, not ours. A QuickBooks ProAdvisor is added with the access level you choose and can update both books from anywhere, while you keep logging in to the same file in real time. There is no second copy, no version to email back and forth, and no “send me the file when you’re done.”

Element 02 · Bank feeds drive the workflow

Instead of keying in transactions, the file pulls them automatically from your bank and credit-card feeds. The ProAdvisor categorizes what comes in, matches it to invoices and bills, and reconciles each account to its statement. Feed-driven entry is what keeps an online file current day to day rather than reconstructed once a quarter.

Element 03 · Documents are shared securely, not emailed

Receipts, statements, and supporting documents move through a secure client portal rather than email attachments or a shoebox. You upload once and the ProAdvisor attaches the document to the transaction inside QuickBooks, so the backup lives with the entry — useful at tax time and essential if you’re ever asked to substantiate a number.

Element 04 · A fixed monthly communication cadence

Remote doesn’t mean out of touch. Each month you get the same rhythm: the books closed and reconciled, a standard set of reports, and a scheduled check-in to flag anything unusual and answer questions. The cadence is set up front so you always know when the numbers land and who to ask — not whenever someone happens to get to it.

Element 05 · You keep full access and ownership

The file is yours, the subscription is yours, and the access you grant a ProAdvisor is yours to revoke. You can pull a report at midnight, hand a banker live access, or move to another provider and take everything with you. Online delivery never trades convenience for control of your own data.

Why remote holds up · Why it’s as reliable as in-person

The reliability of bookkeeping comes from the workflow and the file — monthly reconciliation, a documented close, attached backup, reports you can act on — not from physical proximity. A cloud file fed by bank feeds is usually more current than a desktop file someone updates on a quarterly visit, because nothing waits for the next appointment.

Getting started

How online bookkeeping works with us, step by step.

Five steps from first look to a running monthly cycle — with you keeping full access to your own file the whole way.

1

Start with a free file review

We look before we scope. A QuickBooks ProAdvisor reviews your existing QuickBooks Online file (or your current setup) to see where the books stand, what’s connected, and what online delivery will involve — at no cost and with a written scope before any work begins.

2

Connect your file and your bank feeds

You add a ProAdvisor to your cloud QuickBooks file at the access level you choose, and we confirm the bank and credit-card feeds are connected and importing. If feeds aren’t set up yet, we get them flowing so transactions arrive automatically from day one.

3

Set up the secure document portal

We set up the secure portal you’ll use to share receipts, statements, and questions — replacing email attachments. You upload supporting documents there, and they get attached to the matching transactions inside QuickBooks.

4

Agree the monthly cadence

We agree up front when the books close each month, which reports you’ll receive, and when the check-in happens. That fixed rhythm is what makes remote delivery feel as accountable as someone down the hall.

5

Run the monthly cycle and review together

Each month the ProAdvisor categorizes, reconciles to the bank statement, and closes the books inside your file, then delivers the reports and walks the numbers with you on the scheduled check-in — with you keeping full real-time access the whole time.

Is it for you

Who online bookkeeping fits.

You already run (or want to run) in the cloud

If your business is on QuickBooks Online — or you’re ready to move there — online bookkeeping fits the way you already work. Feed-driven, cloud-native bookkeeping is built for files that live online, not for shuttling a desktop company file back and forth.

You want current books without an in-house bookkeeper

Online delivery suits owners who need the books kept current and reconciled every month but don’t have, or don’t want, an in-house bookkeeper. You get a QuickBooks ProAdvisor working in your file on a fixed cadence without adding a payroll seat.

You value real-time access and remote convenience

If you’d rather log in and see live numbers than wait for a folder to come back, online bookkeeping fits. It’s built for owners who work from anywhere, want documents handled securely, and expect their books to be a few clicks away, not a phone call and a wait.

Want your books kept current in the cloud?

A QuickBooks ProAdvisor reviews your file free, then runs your monthly bookkeeping inside your own QuickBooks Online file on a fixed cadence — a fixed monthly fee scoped to your transaction volume, in writing before any work begins.

Who does the work

A QuickBooks ProAdvisor works inside your own cloud file.

Online bookkeeping isn’t software running on its own — it’s a QuickBooks ProAdvisor working inside your file, the same as they would in person, just remotely. They categorize what the feeds bring in, reconcile each account to its statement, attach the backup to the entry, close the month, and walk the numbers with you on a scheduled check-in. You keep full real-time access throughout, and the file stays under your subscription and ownership.

QuickBooks Online

your cloud file, your subscription — we work inside it

What people ask about online bookkeeping.

What is online bookkeeping, exactly?
It’s bookkeeping delivered through the cloud, the same work many firms sell as virtual bookkeeping or virtual accounting services: a remote QuickBooks ProAdvisor works inside your own cloud QuickBooks Online file, with transactions flowing in through bank feeds, documents shared through a secure portal, and the books reconciled and closed every month. It’s a delivery model — the same monthly bookkeeping work, done remotely rather than in person.
How is online bookkeeping different from monthly bookkeeping?
Online bookkeeping describes how the work is delivered — remotely, in the cloud. The recurring service itself is our monthly bookkeeping: the fixed monthly cycle of categorizing, reconciling to the bank statement, and reporting. This page explains the cloud delivery model that the monthly service runs on; see the monthly bookkeeping page for the service and what’s included.
How is it different from virtual accounting?
At TechBrot they are the same delivery model under two names. Virtual accounting services, as we provide them, are the work on this page done fully remotely — categorization, reconciliation to the bank statement, the month-end close and the financial statements, in a cloud QuickBooks file you and your bookkeeper share in real time. If you need more than the books kept current, the same cloud model carries the wider scope: outsourced accounting adds the close discipline, statements with commentary and payroll and sales-tax coordination, and advisory sits on top.
Is online bookkeeping as reliable as having someone in person?
Yes, and often more current. The reliability of bookkeeping comes from the workflow and the file — monthly reconciliation to the bank statement, a documented close, attached backup, and reports you can act on — not from physical proximity. A cloud file fed by bank feeds usually stays more current than a desktop file someone updates on a periodic visit, because nothing waits for the next appointment.
How do you access my books securely?
You add a ProAdvisor to your own cloud QuickBooks Online file at the access level you choose — access you can change or revoke at any time. Supporting documents move through a secure client portal rather than email attachments, and each document is attached to its matching transaction inside QuickBooks. The file stays under your subscription and ownership throughout.
Do I keep ownership of and access to my QuickBooks file?
Always. The cloud QuickBooks file is yours, under your Intuit subscription. A ProAdvisor works inside it with the access you grant; you keep full real-time visibility, log in whenever you want, and take everything with you if you ever change providers. Online delivery never means handing over control of your own data.
How do we communicate each month?
On a fixed cadence set up front: the books are closed and reconciled each month, you receive a standard set of reports, and there’s a scheduled check-in to flag anything unusual and answer your questions. Day to day you can also reach the ProAdvisor through the secure portal — remote doesn’t mean out of touch.
What does online bookkeeping cost?
We start with a free file review, then scope a fixed monthly fee against your actual transaction volume and the accounts involved — in writing before any work begins. If the books are behind before ongoing work starts, a bookkeeping cleanup runs $1,200–$15,000+ depending on how far behind. We quote canonical, written pricing; no surprise hourly bills. To get your file reviewed and scoped, call a ProAdvisor at (877) 751-5575.
