Best path: Send a brief or book directly.
The scope: Calm research conversations welcomed. No marketing list. We follow up personally on your inquiry, and stop when you ask.
Bank or credit-card feeds disconnect, leaving weeks or months of transactions un-imported. Common with QB Desktop on multi-user. Fix requires manual reconciliation of the gap plus root-cause configuration.
A stubborn variance previous bookkeepers couldn’t locate — typically deleted-then-restored transactions, duplicate entries, or beginning-balance errors traceable to QuickBooks setup.
An employee residing in one state and working in another, or county-level taxes (Indiana CAGIT/COIT, Ohio RITA) misconfigured. Often undetected for 6–18 months until a state notice arrives.
QuickBooks shows total sales tax collected but can’t produce the state-by-state reports needed for multi-state filings. A configuration issue from initial setup — fix it once or live with manual prep every period.
Too many sub-accounts, no logical hierarchy, expenses grouped in ways that don’t produce useful reports. Typically QuickBooks set up by someone without industry-specific knowledge.
Manufacturers, construction contractors, and project-based services see unreliable margins. Almost always a setup issue — items, classes, and project structures weren’t aligned at the start.
Most “QuickBooks help” offerings are either too narrow (a one-hour consulting call) or too vague (an ongoing “support package” with no defined deliverables). TechBrot’s engagements are scoped as specific operational projects with specific written deliverables — a cleanup delivers a reconciled, CPA-ready file with a written summary of what was fixed; a setup delivers a configured file ready to operate from day one; a migration delivers a successfully migrated file with reconciled historical data and rebuilt integrations.
The work is delivered inside your QuickBooks file — we access as accountant-users, you keep your data, and the audit trail is visible to you at any time. We never operate in a parallel system or require a data export. For recurring engagements, the deliverable is the same shape every month: reconciliation, categorization, financial statements, named-ProAdvisor ownership, and a CPA-ready year-end handoff.

Yes — Desktop-to-Online (or Desktop-to-Enterprise) migration is a core TechBrot engagement. Desktop 2023 and older are no longer supported; Desktop 2024 has continuous support and, per Intuit, no sunset deadline (updated 2026-09-18), so moving is a business decision, not a deadline. We migrate data, integrations, payroll, and sales tax cleanly, with historical reconciliation and a verified file. Typically $2,500–$10,000+ depending on file complexity.
