quickbooks Live Bookkeeping

quickbooks Live Bookkeeping is a new service attached to quickbooks Online. Essentially, this service does exactly what the name suggests: It connects quickbooks clients to quickbooks-certified bookkeepers for personalized, real-time support.  In June 2019, quickbooks Live Bookkeeping was available only to select some quickbooks Online customers, but they planned to roll out wider availability in the following months so if you have quickbooks Online, it’s checking to see whether you have access to this service. You’ll know you have it if you see a “Live Bookkeeping” menu in the left navigation menu. Otherwise, you can sign up for the service directly. All quickbooks Live service plans include a subscription to quickbooks Online Plus, which is their most popular accounting software for small business owners.

Role of quickbooks Live Bookkeeping

After you sign up for quickbooks Live, you will provide quickbooks with some information about your business, and they’ll match you with a certified bookkeeper within a minute. This will be your primary contact, but you can also leave a message with an additional team of bookkeepers if you have any questions. Note that your bookkeeping team is only available during regular business hours. From there on out, you can schedule a video and screen-sharing session with your bookkeeper whenever you want or need it. Your team of bookkeepers will also maintain your books throughout the month, and they’ll review and close your books at the end of every month. They’ll also provide you with a monthly report, which they can walk you through either by phone or video chat.  

However, there’s one major issue: quickbooks Live bookkeepers won’t handle your payroll setup, administration, or support. And although they’ll organize your books for tax season, they won’t file your taxes for you. For that, you’ll need to stick with your CPA or accountant, PEO, or payroll software that’s certified to calculate and file taxes on your behalf.
