What’s Included
File setup and chart of accounts
Building the file so its reports actually reflect how your business works. Most file problems trace back to a chart of accounts that was never designed for the business.
One-on-one training
Sessions on your own file, screen shared, working through the things you actually do rather than a generic curriculum.
Troubleshooting
When the reports disagree with reality, finding out why. Usually a setup decision made long ago rather than a bug.
Online to Desktop, or Desktop to Online
Migrations between the two, including what carries over and what does not, which is worth knowing before you commit.
Integrations
Getting an external system to talk to QuickBooks properly, so data flows once rather than being entered twice.
Custom reporting
Reports built for the questions you actually ask, rather than working around the defaults every month.
Common QuickBooks setup mistakes
Building the chart of accounts as you go
Accounts added ad hoc produce a report nobody can read. It is far cheaper to design it once than to restructure a file with three years of history in it.
Using classes and locations interchangeably
They do different jobs. Using the wrong one means the segmentation report you actually want cannot be produced without rework.
Turning on features nobody was trained for
Inventory, job costing and progress invoicing all change how the file behaves. Enabled without training, they generate errors faster than they generate insight.
Duplicating data entry alongside another system
If information is keyed into both QuickBooks and a separate system, the two will disagree. The question is only when you notice.
Keeping a departed bookkeeper's structure
Files inherited from someone who has left often carry conventions nobody understands. Assumptions that are never revisited become errors that are never found.
What It Costs and What Moves the Number
Consulting is billed hourly. Retainer blocks of 10, 20, 30 and 40 hours are available if you would rather hold time in reserve than book piecemeal.
Hourly suits a specific problem: a file that will not reconcile, a migration, a report that needs building. Retainer blocks suit ongoing questions, where having hours available means you ask instead of guessing.
The goal is that you need fewer hours over time, not more. Training that leaves you able to run the file yourself is the point.
Who This Suits
- Businesses whose reports do not match what they know the business did
- Anyone who inherited a file from someone who has since left
- Teams duplicating work between QuickBooks and another system
- Owners paying for QuickBooks features they have never turned on
Who It Does Not
- Anyone wanting the bookkeeping done for them rather than learning it, which is the monthly bookkeeping service
- Software other than QuickBooks
How Switching Actually Works
Start with the actual problem
A short conversation about what you are trying to get out of the file, before anyone opens it.
The file gets reviewed, not guessed at
Recommendations come from looking at your setup rather than from general best practice.
Changes happen with you watching
So you can repeat them, and so you understand why they were made.
You keep the documentation
Notes on what changed and why, which matters when a question comes back in six months.

QuickBooks Consulting, Frequently Asked
What does Advanced Certified ProAdvisor actually mean?
It is Intuit's higher certification tier for accounting professionals, above the standard ProAdvisor certification, and it requires ongoing recertification. Robin's profile is listed publicly in Intuit's Find-a-ProAdvisor directory, so it is verifiable rather than a claim on a website.
Can you train more than one person at once?
Yes. Team sessions often work better than training one person who then has to teach everyone else.
Is it remote or in person?
Most sessions are remote and screen shared, which works for anyone in Tampa Bay or further out. Screen sharing is genuinely better for training on a live file.
What if I only need an hour?
Then book an hour. There is no minimum block and no obligation to continue.
