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:

How a QuickBooks Setup Works.
Discovery Call
Understand your business, your CPA's requirements, and what you're starting from.
Setup or Migration
Build from scratch or migrate from Desktop, spreadsheets, or another file.
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.
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.
