The Problem

A Bad QuickBooks Setup Will Cost You Every Month.

Most QuickBooks problems are not QuickBooks problems. They are setup problems. Wrong chart of accounts. Items mapped to the wrong expense categories. Sales tax configured for the wrong jurisdiction. Bank feeds connected but never reconciled. The software is fine. The setup is broken.

What 'set up wrong' actually looks like:

Your chart of accounts has 200 items and none of them make sense.
Your P&L shows categories that mean nothing to you or your CPA.
You have been connecting bank feeds but never reconciling.
Your sales tax is set up for the wrong rate or wrong jurisdiction.
You migrated from Desktop to Online and nothing came over correctly.
Your CPA asks every year why your books look different from what they expect.

Everything Included in a QuickBooks Online Setup Engagement.

  • Initial consultation to understand your business structure and reporting needs
  • Chart of accounts built to your industry and CPA's preferences
  • Bank and credit card feed connection and test reconciliation
  • Sales tax setup for Oregon and Washington as applicable
  • Opening balance entry and reconciliation
  • Items and products/services list setup
  • User access and permissions configuration
  • CPA access invitation and confirmation
  • Training session (you and any team members who use QBO)
  • 30 days of post-setup support

How a QuickBooks Setup Works.

01

Discovery Call

Understand your business, your CPA's requirements, and what you're starting from.

02

Setup or Migration

Build from scratch or migrate from Desktop, spreadsheets, or another file.

03

Training & Handoff

Walk through the setup together, confirm it works, hand you the keys.

QuickBooks Setup Is a One-Time Engagement.

Setup and migration engagements are quoted flat-fee after a discovery call. Most setups run between $500 and $1,500 depending on complexity. Migration from Desktop or from a broken file runs higher depending on the condition of the source data. We will quote you exactly.

About

Why Snyders Bookkeeping?

I am Max Snyder. I graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Finance and Supply Chain Management, and I built Snyders Bookkeeping because I kept hearing the same story from small business owners across Portland: "I have a bookkeeper, but I still do not understand my numbers."

That is the problem with most bookkeeping in this town. It treats your books like a compliance task, something to clean up before April. It is not. Your books are the operating system of your business. If you cannot see your margins, your cash position, and your runway in real time, you are guessing. And guessing is expensive.

I built Snyders Bookkeeping around three principles:

"Your numbers should mean something."

Every monthly close comes with plain-English commentary on what changed and why. If a number moved, you will know what caused it.

"Cash flow is not optional."

Most Portland bookkeepers will never produce a cash flow statement or a runway statement. We produce both, monthly, with a 90-day forward forecast. You will know what your cash position will look like before it gets uncomfortable.

"Your CPA should never have to clean up after us."

We coordinate with your tax preparer year-round. Your year-end filing should be quick because everything was right all year.

I am a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and a Certified Bookkeeper. I work exclusively with QuickBooks Online because it is the only platform that gives you and your CPA real-time access to the same numbers. I am based in Happy Valley and serve clients throughout the Portland metro and Southern Washington.

If you are tired of bookkeeping that stops at "your accounts are reconciled," let us talk.

We price by transaction volume, which means you pay for the work that is actually being done, not a flat fee built around someone else's average. After a brief discovery call, we will quote you exactly. Most small businesses know within 10 minutes whether the numbers make sense for them.

That is a cleanup engagement. We rebuild your books from your bank and credit card statements, get you to a clean current state, then transition you to monthly maintenance. Cleanups are quoted separately based on scope. The longer you wait, the more it costs, so the answer is usually "start now."

Yes, and here is why. A CPA prepares your taxes and provides strategic tax advice. A bookkeeper maintains the financial records the CPA uses to do that work. Asking your CPA to also do your bookkeeping is like asking your surgeon to also be your nurse: possible, but expensive and inefficient. Good bookkeeping makes your CPA cheaper and more useful.

QuickBooks Online, exclusively. It is the only platform that gives you, us, and your CPA real-time access to the same financial data. If you are currently on a different platform, we will handle the migration as part of onboarding.

Most clients are fully onboarded within 14 days of signing. That includes connecting bank feeds, setting up your chart of accounts, coordinating with your CPA, and reviewing your historical data so we know what we are inheriting.

If you are not satisfied with our work in your first 90 days, for any reason, we refund every dollar you have paid us. No paperwork, no negotiation. We can carry that guarantee because we do not lose clients in the first 90 days. If you become the first, you should get your money back.
