Sound familiar?
QuickBooks installed. Still no idea where you stand.
The software is there. The bank feed connects. But the chart of accounts is a mess, the reports are pulling numbers that do not quite add up, and you still cannot answer basic questions about margin or cash position without opening a spreadsheet. That is not a QuickBooks problem. It is a setup and configuration problem — and it is a very common one.
- ✕ QuickBooks live but not configured to reflect how the business actually runs
- ✕ Management reports generating figures you cannot trust or explain to anyone
- ✕ No clear view of the tax liability building up inside the numbers
What a properly run QuickBooks setup looks like
OD Accountants configures QuickBooks from the ground up — or picks up an existing file and straightens it out. The result is clean, current data that produces reports worth reading and a tax position that holds no surprises.
- ✓ Chart of accounts and class tracking set up to match your actual business structure
- ✓ Monthly management accounts pulled straight from clean QuickBooks data — no manual adjustments
- ✓ Corporation Tax and VAT positions calculated from the live file, not reconstructed at year-end
- ✓ Fixed monthly fee covering bookkeeping, compliance and reporting — one number, no surprises

QuickBooks accounting — what the fee covers
A cloud-first chartered management accounting firm running your QuickBooks file end to end — compliance, reporting and strategic visibility included.
QuickBooks Setup and Configuration
Your QuickBooks file is configured to reflect how your business is actually structured — chart of accounts, VAT scheme, class tracking and bank rules set up correctly from the start. If you are moving from another platform or from a poorly configured existing file, data migration is handled as part of the process. The result is a foundation the rest of the reporting can rely on.
Cloud accounting — includedBookkeeping, VAT and Management Reporting
Monthly bookkeeping keeps your QuickBooks file current — bank reconciliations, transaction coding, payroll journals and VAT return preparation all within the platform. Management accounts are produced from the live data each month, including KPI dashboards and cash-flow visibility. If you need to share figures with a bank, funder or board, the reports are already in a format that holds up.
Monthly — included as standardYear-End, Corporation Tax and Virtual FD
Statutory accounts and Corporation Tax are prepared directly from the QuickBooks file — no year-end reconstruction, no scramble to find missing records. For clients that want more than compliance, the virtual finance director service adds strategic input: forecasting, scenario modelling and commercial advice from a founder with 10-plus years of restructure and turnaround experience. You get the output of a finance director without the cost of hiring one.
Advisory — available on requestClients across sectors. Consistent feedback.
Hospitality operators, consultants, start-ups and established SMEs — different businesses, the same recurring observation about availability, value and depth of support.
Always On the Phone, Top Service
“Niall and his team are supportive, clear and directional accountants who have supported our small business staff up. They're always on the end of the phone to advise and assist and provide a top service for our accounting needs. Plus they're just nice people which helps too!!”
Years of Service, Competitive Prices
“I've been there for years and Niall and his team go above and beyond the duties to provide accounting services but also general advices. They are always available if you need anything while charging very competitive prices. I could not recommend them enough.”
Tricky Client Handled With Ease
“Been with OD Accountants for over a year now. Niall and the team are brilliant. They helped me set up a company and get everything I needed in place to run my business. I'm a tricky client due to my 'digital nomad' status, but their advice…”
Why this firm over any other QuickBooks accountant
Cloud accounting is what the firm is built on — not a feature added to a traditional practice. There is a meaningful difference.
Built around cloud accounting
OD Accountants is a cloud-first practice — QuickBooks, Xero and the surrounding app stack are central to how the firm works, not an optional add-on. That means your file is configured by people who work inside these platforms every day, not handed to a junior once a year to reconcile. The compliance output is the same as any traditional firm. The reporting and visibility are considerably better.
Chartered depth, SME delivery
Founder Niall O'Driscoll FCMA, CGMA spent more than ten years as a freelance accountant specialising in restructures and turnarounds, including contracts with listed companies in the UK and overseas. That commercial depth comes into every engagement — not just for large clients. SMEs that would not normally get FD-level input get it here, delivered via cloud software at a fixed monthly price.
Questions answered the day you ask
Google reviews going back more than a decade consistently describe the team as always available, fast to respond and willing to go above and beyond. That is not a support promise — it is what the existing client base reports, repeatedly and unprompted. For a business owner trying to make a decision, getting a same-day answer from a chartered accountant who already knows your numbers is worth rather a lot.
Up and running in four steps
The process is designed to be straightforward on your side. Most of the work happens at OD's end.
Book a discovery call
A short call to understand your current setup — which platform you are on, what is working, what is not, and what you actually need the numbers to tell you. No preparation required. You will leave the call knowing exactly what happens next.
Receive a fixed-fee proposal
A written proposal covering the scope of work and a fixed monthly fee. No ambiguity about what is included. If the existing QuickBooks file needs catch-up work or migration from another platform, that is costed separately and clearly.
Onboarding and file review
OD Accountants reviews the existing file, corrects the configuration where needed, and sets up the reporting structure. You provide read access and answer any questions about the business. The heavy lifting is handled without requiring your time.
Clean books, every month
From the first full month, your QuickBooks file is current, your management accounts are produced on time, and your tax position is visible. Less of your Sunday evenings reconstructing what happened last quarter. Which is, frankly, the way it should be.
“Unlike my previous Accountants, Niall is far more hands-on, available for advice and able to care for me as an individual, rather than a faceless client. His fees are very reasonable and the money he has saved me more than covers them.”
Things people usually ask first
We already have QuickBooks — do you just take over from where we are, or does everything need to change?
It depends on the state of the existing file. Some files are in good shape and just need a chartered pair of eyes and an ongoing workflow built around them. Others have classification errors, duplicate entries or a chart of accounts that does not reflect the business structure — those need correcting before the reporting is reliable. The review at onboarding identifies what is needed. If catch-up work is required, it is costed separately and clearly before any work begins.
What does a QuickBooks accounting service from OD Accountants cost?
Pricing is fixed monthly and varies based on business size, transaction volume and the scope of reporting required. Fees are described by existing clients as very reasonable, with tax savings often more than covering the cost. A written fixed-fee proposal is provided after the discovery call — there are no hourly rates and no surprise invoices. If you want an indicative figure before the call, the free quote form on this page gives you a starting point.
The books are behind — can you still help, or does everything need to be up to date first?
Behind books are a very common starting point. The catch-up process — bringing the QuickBooks file current — is handled as part of onboarding, costed clearly and completed before the regular monthly service begins. Arriving with records in some state of disarray is normal. It is resolved methodically, without drama, and the ongoing service starts from clean data.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. There is no minimum term. Engagements run month to month and either party can end the arrangement with reasonable notice. If you decide to leave, your QuickBooks data remains yours — accessible, clean and portable. The goal is to be the kind of firm clients stay with because the service is worth it, not because the contract says they have to.
Can you handle the QuickBooks to Xero migration if we want to move platforms later?
Yes. Data migration between cloud accounting platforms — including QuickBooks to Xero — is a specific OD Accountants service. The migration includes cleaning the data before it moves, mapping the chart of accounts to the new platform structure, and verifying the output against the source file. Moving platforms mid-year is manageable when the process is handled by an accountant rather than a software import wizard.
Will QuickBooks give me visibility of my Corporation Tax liability throughout the year, or just at year-end?
With the file configured correctly and bookkeeping kept current, the Corporation Tax position is visible from the live data at any point — not reconstructed in arrears once the year closes. Monthly management accounts produced by OD include a running tax estimate so the year-end bill is not a surprise. That alone tends to make the service worth it for directors who have previously faced unexpected tax demands.
QuickBooks running properly. Less to worry about.
OD Accountants configures, manages and reports on your QuickBooks file end to end — bookkeeping, compliance, management accounts and tax visibility included on a fixed monthly fee.
