    QuickBooks Online — deep support

    How we set up QuickBooks Online properly

    QBO is powerful but easy to misconfigure. Here's how we build it so your reports, sales tax, and payroll all tell the truth.

    Projects, Classes & Locations

    The three QBO dimensions most contractors get wrong. We decide which ones fit your business, set them up, and lock the workflow so every transaction gets coded correctly.

    • Projects for job-level costing and profitability
    • Classes for divisions, service lines, or crews
    • Locations for multi-entity or multi-site reporting
    • Rules and templates so your team codes consistently

    Products & Services

    Your item list drives estimates, invoices, and COGS. Built wrong, every downstream report is wrong.

    • Item list built around your actual scopes of work
    • Income and COGS accounts mapped per item
    • Bundles and service items for recurring work
    • Cleanup of duplicate or unused items

    Sales Tax

    Washington sales tax and B&O — plus multi-state where you have nexus — configured and filed on real data.

    • WA state and city sales tax setup
    • Product and service taxability configured correctly
    • Monthly or quarterly filing on time
    • Multi-state nexus coordination when you scale

    Payroll

    QuickBooks Payroll, Gusto, or ADP — set up correctly and coded to jobs so labor cost lands on every project P&L.

    • New employer registrations (federal, WA ESD, L&I)
    • Payroll platform setup and employee onboarding
    • Job-cost payroll coding for contractors
    • Year-end W-2s and 1099s handled without the scramble
