I worked as a quickbooks live bookkeeper doing clean-ups last year. $21 an hour in Georgia. Most of the books were not cleaned up within a month. And many were paying $200 once they switched to monthly but Quickbooks was really talking about raising fees depending on complexity because they were losing money. They just wanted to get people in. Also- they go through a whole process to weed people out so it really is for super small, barely any payroll, maybe like 3 bank accounts. They did struggle getting good talented accountants though lol. I left after 8 months, just wanted to better learn QBO and have some health insurance while building my firm.
I can say a lot of the clients going to these services are PITA clients that you don't really want to work with anyway...esp the price shoppers they don't value our expertise. A lot of the cleanups people are getting after leaving QBLive is b/c the clients never gave them the right documentation. Even though a lot of these services say you get a dedicated person that is sorta true as clients get moved around and employees get moved around/quit so you often are getting new people to work with. On the flipside intuit is a great place to work for bookkeepers and tax pros that need benefits and steady income while growing their firms. It pays a lot more than most local jobs in my area so there is that plus.
Look ma, I'm an influencer! Reason #3 is something I hadn't thought of before. I imagine they have a good training program so coming out of TT, they'd be good candidates!
Hey Jason. Have you dealt with QB bookkeeping live? It's a disaster! Loan payments as an expense item, ppp loans still on balance sheet when they are forgiven, even had someone import the wrong credit card into another's account.
@@contractorskeeperllc I had a real mess to clean up for a client that came over from QB Live... Bench pretty bad too with two clients having the wrong accounts in the system and even one checking account that didn't exist :P
Got a TurboTax ad on this :(

This is spot on in so many ways.
Well done Jason
Can’t wait for your chatGPT video! I’ve already automated some work with it and I’m intrigued to hear your thoughts and how you’ve used it
Yeah honestly kind of hard to write because there are so many ways to use it!
@@jasoncpa hard to write??? You have chatGPT for that now 😂😂
But understandable. Seems like something new is coming out everyday.
Jason has chatGPT write a chatGPT video; chatGPT achieves sentience.
Amazing video! Keep up the great work :)
Cheers Noel!

Ugh I haven't. Sorry to hear that. I want it to work! Accountants can't serve everyone these days.
I’ve had two clients come to me after QB Live too and I had to clean up their books
