Do I really need a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor if I already have QuickBooks?

A ProAdvisor helps ensure your system is set up correctly for your specific industry, tax situation, and reporting needs, which most default QuickBooks setups do not handle well. Proper configuration reduces errors, saves time at year-end, and gives your CPA and tax planning service team cleaner data for returns and strategy.

Yes. Many clients come in with several years of unreconciled accounts, incorrect categorizations, and prior mistakes from self-setup or inexperienced bookkeepers. Cleanup services bring your QuickBooks file current and accurate so you can rely on your numbers and move forward with confidence.

Akumen Accounting Group regularly configures and supports integrations between QuickBooks Online and tools like Gusto for payroll, as well as industry-specific systems for GovCon, law firms, and other service businesses. Properly mapped integrations reduce duplicate data entry and keep your financials aligned across platforms.

With the right setup, QuickBooks Online can support indirect rate structures, project/class tracking, and reporting that aligns with DCAA expectations and GovCon accounting service requirements. Akumen Accounting Group configures your file to track contract-level profitability and produce the documentation needed for audits and reviews.

Yes. Training is a core part of QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor services, ensuring your staff understands day-to-day tasks such as coding transactions, reconciling accounts, and running reports. This reduces ongoing errors and makes your monthly and year-end processes smoother and more predictable.

We work with a variety of clients, including service-based businesses, GovCon firms, law practices, dental offices, and non-profits. We tailor QuickBooks Online setup and support to meet the unique needs of each industry.

Getting started is easy. Contact us for a consultation, and we’ll review your current QuickBooks setup, discuss your goals, and create a plan for setup, cleanup, ongoing support, or advisory services.
