    Thank you so much for all the information. I am soon starting a bookkeeping business from home. I just finished school. I have one question regarding clean ups and what that exactly means. Can you do a series on what it looks like when you first take on a client, whether theyre with quickbooks already or whether theyre not? Thank you

    Great video man. Thank you very much. Is it best practice to hold off on creating rules in QB for a new client until you get a really good understanding of their activity each month?

    Excellent work with pointing out common mistakes. One thing I'd add is the opening balance equity i see when i engage with new clients.

    You recommend staying up to date on accounting standards and regulations- what are the best ways to accomplish this?

      Read IRS publications and take a few college accounting classes

    I am new to bookkeeping and I am helping out a family memeber to record all transaction for the previous year. They have only used QuickBooks to invoice and receive/deposit the payment for the invoices. If add their bank account will QuickBooks duplicate all the deposits for the invoices? Also, do I need to add a starting balance to their bank on the chart of accounts even though it already has a balance due to marking payments received?

    Hi there! I've been your silent viewer ince I started doing bookkeeping for my client. I've watched this and realized that I do somw of the mistakes 😢 it's my first time doing virtual bookkeeping and I don't want to mess it up.
    I do reconciliation now but I see a lot of double transactions, one is under SPLIT account and the other is under A/R account cause it's connected to other app. 😬

      Just make sure every transaction is accounted for during the reconciliation!
