Early childhood education

Where it started

There were no reconciled records to start from, the owner had little time to gather documents, transactions came through many payment methods, and QuickBooks was new to the team.

What we did

  • Converted bank statements and documents into one standard format.
  • Recorded and categorised the history in QuickBooks on a chart of accounts built for the business.
  • Reconciled every month against the bank and resolved the discrepancies.
  • Delivered a profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity, with a summary of what to act on.
  • Trained the team on QuickBooks and stayed on for support.

Result

Fifteen months of books caught up for $1,200, monthly cash tracking in place, and manual reconciliation time cut by 75%.
