Questions? We got you.
Do I need QuickBooks Online?▾
Yes — we work with QBO specifically. You'll connect your QBO through a secure Intuit OAuth link (takes about 30 seconds). No passwords shared, no accountant invite needed. Xero support coming soon.
How long does it take?▾
Most catch-ups complete in 3–7 business days. Complex jobs (12+ months, high transaction volume) may take slightly longer.
Is a real human reviewing my books?▾
Yes. AI does the heavy lifting — categorizing, reconciling, pattern matching. Then a real human reviews everything before delivery.
What if my books are a total disaster?▾
That's literally why we exist. No judgment. We've seen it all.
Is my data secure?▾
Bank-level encryption. We connect through Intuit's official OAuth — no passwords are ever shared with us. Your data lives in your QBO; we access it through the API with tokens you can revoke anytime.
Can I revoke access?▾
Anytime. One click in your QBO settings and we're disconnected. No calls, no cancellation hoops.
Do you file my taxes?▾
No — but we get your books tax-ready so your CPA can file fast. We can work directly with your CPA if you want.
