What a QuickBooks ProAdvisor is
A QuickBooks ProAdvisor is certified by Intuit in QuickBooks Online. What that certification does not tell you is whether the person applying it is an accountant. Stronghold pairs the software knowledge with a licensed CPA analyzing the output, which is the part that determines whether the file is right rather than merely tidy.
Who this is for
You need a QuickBooks bookkeeper rather than a QuickBooks consultant who leaves after setup.
You are moving from Desktop, Wave, Xero or a spreadsheet and want it done once.
You are on QuickBooks Online and are not confident the file is accurate.
The chart of accounts has grown to two hundred lines nobody uses.
You bought QuickBooks, watched a tutorial, and stopped.
Bank feeds are connected but nothing is reviewed.
What’s included
Setup or migrationChart of accounts built for your business, opening balances tied out, historical data brought across and checked.
Feed configurationBank and card feed configuration, with rules that reduce manual coding without hiding errors.
IntegrationsIntegration setup for payroll and any apps that feed the ledger.
Weekly upkeepWeekly categorization and reconciliation as part of ongoing QuickBooks bookkeeping services.
CleanupCleanup where the existing file needs correcting first.
CPA analysisCPA analysis of the monthly close.
QuickBooks accounting services from a general bookkeeper usually stop at the first two. The ongoing accuracy is the part that matters twelve months later.
What usually needs fixing on an existing file. A chart of accounts that has grown by accretion, with three variations of the same expense category. Bank rules that auto-code confidently and wrongly. Undeposited Funds carrying a balance nobody can explain. Opening Balance Equity still populated years after setup. Personal spending mixed into business accounts. None of these stop QuickBooks working, which is exactly why they persist.

A CPA analyzes the output. Software certification says you know the tool; it does not say the numbers are right.We will tell you if migrating is not worth it. Sometimes the existing file is fine and the problem is the process around it.

Common questions
QuickBooks questions
Are you a certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor?
Yes. Stronghold's QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor certification is current.
Can you migrate us from QuickBooks Desktop?
Yes, including opening balances and history. Migration is quoted from a file review rather than estimated on a call.
Do you work in anything other than QuickBooks Online?
Stronghold specializes in QuickBooks Online and can scope a migration from another accounting platform.
I need a QuickBooks bookkeeper near me. Do you work locally?
We have offices in Tampa and Lake Mary and work with clients across the US. Ongoing bookkeeping does not require proximity, though local clients do meet in person.
Can you just fix our file without taking over the bookkeeping?
No. The Foundation Buildout and ongoing weekly subscription are one engagement; Stronghold does not offer stand-alone cleanups.
Is a ProAdvisor the same as an accountant?
No. A ProAdvisor is an Intuit software certification; a CPA is a state-licensed professional. Stronghold combines current QuickBooks Online certification with CPA-led accounting analysis.
