QuickBooks Online setup

A clearer start for your books. A smoother way to work.

We set up QuickBooks Online around the way your business operates—so your accounts are organized, your reports are useful, and you know what happens at every step.

Clear scope before work begins Dedicated point of contact Remote-friendly process
How it works

From first conversation to a working QuickBooks file.

Every business is different. We confirm the scope with you first, then move through a structured setup with clear requests, review points, and communication along the way.

01

Discovery and fit

We learn how your business earns revenue, pays expenses, and needs to use its financial information.

  • Discuss your business and bookkeeping goals
  • Confirm whether this is a new file or an existing one
  • Agree on scope, timing, and responsibilities
02

Collect information

We provide a focused checklist so you know what to gather and how to share it securely.

  • Business and tax-accounting details
  • Bank, credit card, and loan account list
  • Prior reports or balances, if applicable
03

Build your QuickBooks foundation

We configure the file to reflect your business and the reporting you need.

  • Company settings and fiscal-year details
  • Chart of accounts and account structure
  • Products/services and sales-tax settings, if applicable
  • Bank-feed guidance and user access
04

Opening balances and review

We review the starting point and check that the setup is consistent before routine bookkeeping begins.

  • Enter or review agreed opening balances
  • Check connected accounts and key settings
  • Flag missing information or items needing your decision
05

Walkthrough and handoff

We explain the essentials so you understand what is in place and what to do next.

  • Review the dashboard and core reports
  • Explain document and transaction workflows
  • Share recommended next steps and open items
06

Ongoing support (if needed)

If you choose ongoing bookkeeping, we can continue with a consistent monthly routine.

  • Transaction categorization and review
  • Bank and credit card reconciliations
  • Monthly financial statements and close
Good to know: Setup does not automatically include historical catch-up bookkeeping, tax advice, payroll configuration, or complex inventory/job-costing work. We'll identify any additional needs and confirm the scope before proceeding.
Before we begin

What we'll ask you to prepare.

You don't need to have everything perfect. Sharing what you have helps us assess the starting point and identify anything that needs follow-up.

  • Your legal business name, address, entity type, and fiscal year
  • A list of business bank, credit card, loan, and payment-platform accounts
  • Recent statements and the date you want the books to start from
  • Prior balance sheet, profit and loss statement, or trial balance, if available
  • How you invoice customers, collect payments, and pay vendors
  • Any reporting questions or goals you want QuickBooks to help answer
Timing and communication

Know what to expect—and when.

Our target onboarding turnaround is five business days once the scope is agreed and the required information is available. More complex files or missing records may take longer; we'll keep you informed.

First: Align on scope

We discuss your needs, review the starting point, and confirm the deliverables and fee before work begins.

During: Build and clarify

We configure the file and contact you if a decision, document, or clarification is needed.

At handoff: Review together

We walk through the setup, explain outstanding items, and discuss options for ongoing bookkeeping.

What you'll have

A foundation designed for clearer financial visibility.

At the end of the agreed setup, you'll know how the file is organized and how to move forward with your bookkeeping.

  • A QuickBooks Online file configured to the agreed scope
  • An organized chart of accounts appropriate to your business
  • Agreed opening balances entered or reviewed, where included
  • Guidance on connecting accounts and maintaining records
  • A walkthrough of key reports, including profit and loss and balance sheet
  • A clear list of any exclusions, open questions, or recommended next steps
Common questions

Quick answers before we start.

Do I need to have QuickBooks already?

No. We can help with a new QuickBooks Online company file or discuss an existing file that needs setup adjustments or cleanup.

Is QuickBooks Online subscription pricing included?

QuickBooks subscription fees are separate unless your engagement specifically states otherwise. We'll clarify the account and subscription arrangements before setup begins.

Will you move my old transactions into QuickBooks?

Historical migration or catch-up work depends on the records, date range, and complexity. We'll assess it separately and confirm what is included before starting.

Do you need my bank password?

Please don't send passwords by email. We'll discuss the appropriate way to grant access or connect accounts, using the available secure options.

What happens after setup?

You can manage the books yourself using the walkthrough and agreed process, or discuss monthly bookkeeping support, reconciliations, and reporting with Medha Accounting & Analytics.

How much does setup cost?

QuickBooks new company setup starts at $495. Final pricing is confirmed after we understand your accounts, reporting needs, and whether migration or cleanup is required.
