QuickBooks & Xero Setup, Cleanup and Migration

Books you don’t trust are worse than no books

A QuickBooks or Xero file goes bad slowly, then suddenly: a few miscoded months, a bank feed that duplicated transactions, an old bookkeeper’s workarounds nobody understands — and one day you realize you make decisions by looking at the bank account because the reports can’t be trusted.

The fix isn’t starting over blind, and it isn’t living with it. It’s a systematic cleanup by someone who’s done hundreds of them.

What we do

Diagnostic first. We review your file and give you a straight findings memo: what’s wrong, what it affects, what it takes to fix. Free, and yours to keep either way.

Historical cleanup and catch-up. Miscoded transactions recoded, duplicates removed, bank and credit-card accounts reconciled period by period, undeposited funds cleared, balances tied to source documents. Every fix documented.

New-file setup done right. Starting fresh? We build the file with a chart of accounts that fits your business, clean opening balances, and bank feeds configured properly — so it doesn’t drift into the same swamp.

Migrations with verified balances. QuickBooks Desktop ↔ Online, QuickBooks ↔ Xero — with trial balances reconciled before and after cutover.

What you get

A clean file, current books, reports that match reality, and a system your accountant stops apologizing for. Most clients keep us for monthly bookkeeping afterward — but that’s your call, not a condition.

Why Tallmont

Cleanups are forensic work. We do them with the same discipline we bring to multi-entity groups and ERP migrations — trace to source, document everything, fix the cause. No plugs, no “close enough.”
