Scale your firm’s capacity with help from live experts
Whether you’re onboarding or preparing clients for tax time, QuickBooks live experts can help your firm increase capacity for books cleanup.
With QuickBooks Live, you now have two options to help your firm free up capacity and scale internal staffing resources with much less effort, especially during busy times of year.** Our experts are certified in bookkeeping and QuickBooks Online, and have worked with clients across almost every industry.**
QuickBooks Live Expert Cleanup
You can use this one-time service any time your client’s books need to be cleaned up. Whether you’re onboarding a new client or need help getting existing clients ready for tax time, lean on our QuickBooks live experts who can help you increase capacity for books cleanup.**
QuickBooks-certified bookkeepers will:
- Clean up your client’s books with guaranteed accuracy by performing a one-time comprehensive correction and organization†
- Ensure accurate recording and classification by reviewing and categorizing your client’s transactions
- Confirm the quality of the bookkeeping work by evaluating it against our standards
- Generate and review a package of reports on your client’s business, including a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, trial balance, and general ledger
How does it work?
First, you can sign your clients up for Live Expert cleanup in QuickBooks Online Accountant or call our sales team. Then, your clients will receive an email to schedule an appointment with a QuickBooks Live Bookkeeper who will guide your client in providing the business and financial documents needed to complete their cleanup.
After these documents have been provided, the QuickBooks Live bookkeeping team will organize your client’s accounts, review and categorize their transactions, and prepare a package of reports. The cleanup process is typically done within 30 days, but some cleanups may take longer due to the complexity of the books or how timely the documentation was delivered. When your client’s cleanup is complete, they'll get a notification and everything will be ready to pass off to you.
QuickBooks Live Expert Assisted
This monthly subscription provides your clients with ongoing personalized QuickBooks guidance from a certified expert using video, phone, and screen-share capabilities.** This QuickBooks expert does not access or work with your clients’ books or financial data.

You’ll get visibility on your client’s calls with our experts through automated call summaries, accessible through your QuickBooks Online Accountant dashboard. Each automatic call summary will show your client’s questions and how the QuickBooks Live expert responded when assisting your client.
