📖Books Review

The Books Review feature in Client Hub allows firms to efficiently review and resolve common QuickBooks data issues—all within the Client Hub platform. This tool helps streamline monthly close processes and improves data accuracy without switching between systems.

⚙️ How It Works

Books Review is automatically enabled for any Client Workspace that’s connected to QuickBooks.

You can access Books Review in the Firm-only section of the Clients & Workspaces page. This section is visible only to firm users.

💬 Collaborate with Comments

Each Books Review item includes a Comments option under Actions. Use this to add internal notes or collaborate with your team while working through flagged items.

🔍 What Books Review Helps You Catch

The current beta version reviews the following data points:

• Expense Inconsistencies

  Flags expenses that are categorized differently than the majority of transactions for that vendor over the past 12 months.

• Purchases Without Payee

  Identifies expense transactions missing a vendor/payee.

• Purchases in a Parent Account

  Highlights transactions posted to a parent account instead of a sub-account.

• Large Transactions

  Detects expense transactions over a threshold you set. Use the Set Large Transaction Limit option in Books Review to adjust the threshold to match your review needs.

• Transactions Without Attachments

  Lists expense transactions in QuickBooks without supporting documents attached, with the option to create a Client Task to assign to the client to add the attachment.

• New Accounts

  Surfaces recently created accounts to help you monitor and confirm whether they were set up correctly.

• New Vendors

  Shows newly added vendors, making it easier to review for duplicates or incorrect entries.

• New Customers

  Displays recently created customers, allowing you to confirm accuracy and avoid duplicates.

• Balance Sheet Review

  AI compares the balance sheet to the previous period and highlights unusual variances in account balances.

• Profit & Loss Review

  AI compares the profit and loss statement to the previous period and highlights unexpected changes in account activity.
