In this article, we will answer the most common and frequently asked question – what is a QuickBooks health check? We will also discuss the benefits and how to schedule one with us.
With so many changes in the accounting world and the busy schedules that business owners have, many of our clients have been asking us important questions like, “How do I know my financials are up to date and what needs to be done to bring them current?” or “How can I improve my setup, workflows, and overall use to enhance QuickBooks to fit my business?”. Having the knowledge, best practices and most of all peace of mind in these areas have exponentially positive long-term effects for your business.
To address our common client’s needs, we start with providing a QuickBooks Health Check. At its core, it is designed to review your QuickBooks setup, financials, and overall health. In addition, a big element is that it is tailored to fit your specific business needs. This allows us to provide valuable insights and recommendations to serve as a catalyst to empower you with the knowledge to be successful regardless of if you are the owner, bookkeeper, financial controller, and/or operations manager.
What is a QuickBooks Health Check?
Very simply, a QuickBooks health check is a review package with one of our in-house, industry expert QuickBooks ProAdvisors to comb through your QuickBooks data file for common mistakes, data integrity, overall health, and ensure you are maximizing your usage of the software. As the halfway mark of this year has already flown by, year-end will be upon us before we know it! Being more prepared is always better than the alternative.
The intent behind a health check is to save time and money. And with Out of the Box Technology, we apply our Trademarked SauceBox Approach to ensure you receive the best service possible from the industry’s most expert QuickBooks ProAdvisors.

Why choose Out of the Box Technology?
Because setup, workflow, and accounting errors do not fix themselves. You must first identify mistakes before you can take corrective action. And the cost of taking action yourself tends to be greater than the cost of our highly specialized service.

Time Saved
Our team has over 500 years of collective QuickBooks experience. We have accountants, bookkeepers, and industry leaders on our roster that can identify errors and make recommendations that will result in countless hours and dollars saved at year-end. Our expert QuickBooks ProAdvisors crawl through your data file analysis efficiently and effectively. Instead of spending valuable time identifying all potential errors and ways you can improve workflows, let our experts do it for you and focus on corrective steps. With all that time saved and focused on guided improvement, there’s no limit on how much progress you can make within your QuickBooks file.
Resources Saved
Business resources need to be used strategically and are vital to any operation. As a business ourselves, we fully understand and appreciate this sentiment. We have many clients that entrust Out of the Box Technology to help with their QuickBooks tasks, to varying degrees.
The point is, the best strategy for resource allocation does not always involve tackling all challenges yourself. A lot of times, outsourcing professionals and specialists who can accomplish goals more efficiently and effectively is the best course of action.
