My Smart Review System

For starters, what is my Smart Review System? Well, it’s a way for me to do a very quick review and get a sense of the biggest problems in my client’s QuickBooks file, using a simple checklist to streamline and save time. It’s not an in-depth review, but it gives you a lot of information about the state of their books and the biggest problems they have so that you can point these things out to them and sell additional services if needed. Think of it as a big picture view into what’s going on. 

Here’s a quick rundown of what my Smart Review includes:

• Banking – review old/uncleared items, adjustments to reconciled balances, clarify any personal accounts included in QBO, etc.
• Undeposited Funds – review for old balances that indicate improper workflow.
• Profit & Loss – review for uncategorized income and expenses, negative balances, unusual expenses, miscategorized COGS, etc.
• Balance Sheet – review for unusual and unexpected balances, large negative balances, uncategorized assets, miscategorized transactions, incorrectly recorded opening balance equity, etc.
