Getting started in QuickBooks Live

During your first appointment with your bookkeeper, they'll get to know you and your business so they can start cleaning up your past books. In this cleanup phase, your bookkeeper cleans up your books from your last tax filing up to the month you subscribe. This process can take about 30 days.

After cleanup, you’re matched with a new bookkeeper who takes over the month-to-month management of your books. Learn how to set up monthly meetings with your new bookkeeper.

2. Select Billing & subscription.
3. In the QuickBooks Live Full-Service Bookkeeping tile, select Cancel. 
4. Confirm your cancelation in the next window.
