How Inkle handles your QuickBooks
There is nothing to export, rebuild or retrain. We join your company file as your accounting firm and continue from wherever your books stand today, including any months that have fallen behind.
Every bank and credit card transaction is matched or added to the correct account, with bank rules for recurring items.
We attach receipts and confirm unclear payees with you, so nothing is left in Ask My Accountant or Uncategorized Expense.
Each bank and credit card account is reconciled to its statement with a zero difference.
We post month-end journal entries, close the books and send your Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows.
What your bookkeeper does in QuickBooks each month
We work through the For Review tab, match transactions to open invoices and bills, and create bank rules for recurring items. Transactions posted automatically by the QuickBooks Accounting Agent are reviewed as well.
Every bank and credit card account is reconciled against its statement until the difference is zero, without forcing balances or posting to Reconciliation Discrepancies.
We record what bank feeds do not capture, including payroll, depreciation, prepaid expenses, accruals and deferred revenue, so each month's results are stated correctly.
After each close you receive your Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows, with a brief note on significant changes. Your bookkeeper is available to walk through them on a monthly review call.
When a transaction is unclear, we ask you rather than leave it in Uncategorized Expense or Ask My Accountant.
We set a closing date in QuickBooks so closed periods cannot be changed, and your books are ready for federal and state filings, including Form 5472 for foreign-owned US companies.
Onboarding begins with a single call
We review your setup, monthly transaction volume and any backlog, then recommend a plan.
Invite Inkle as your accountant from Manage users. You can remove our access at any time.
If earlier months are not reconciled, we complete them first so each close starts from the correct opening balance.
From then on, we close your books each month and send your financial statements.
Software and service in one place, whenever you are ready
Inkle is an accounting and tax firm for US businesses. Alongside bookkeeping, we prepare and file federal and state taxes through Inkle Tax, handle incorporation through Inkle Incorporate, and provide registered agent and mail services through Inkle Mailroom. US-licensed professionals are available by chat, phone or Zoom.
Inkle Books is our own accounting platform. It connects to your bank, card and payment accounts, categorizes transactions with AI, and provides live financials, supported by the same bookkeepers who close your month.
You are welcome to stay on QuickBooks for as long as it serves your business. If you decide to move, Inkle Books imports your full history, so nothing needs to be rebuilt.
When you also use Inkle Tax, your closed QuickBooks books pass directly to our tax team at year-end. There are no exports to prepare and no figures to reconcile between two firms.
