This is the report. Read it before you send us anything.
Below is a complete, unedited BooksAudit diagnostic — the same file a practice receives, produced by the same code, with nothing removed and nothing added for the website. It was run on a sample general ledger we built ourselves, not on a client's books.
What you are looking at, precisely
- The ledger is synthetic. "Northgate Plumbing & Heating LLC" is not a real company. We generated a fictional contractor's year — 4,714 ledger lines across 23 accounts — in QuickBooks General Ledger export format. No client data appears anywhere on this site.
- The findings are not. The file was handed to the real engine and the report is whatever it returned. Nothing was written by hand, reordered, or removed because it read badly.
- The faults were planted, and that is the point. We built a file with the errors cleanups actually turn up — eight months reconciled and four not, transactions parked in "Ask My Accountant", an Opening Balance Equity balance nobody cleared, two double-entered bills, one vendor under several spellings. A demo on a clean file would prove nothing.
What it found in this file
Every finding says what it is, how many lines it touches, what it is worth in money, and why it matters when you are pricing the work — with example rows you can go and look up. The report also carries a section listing what it could not check on this export and why. A check that cannot run is reported as skipped, never as clean: "no issues found" on an export that never carried a reconciliation column is the one mistake that would be worth catching us on.

Open in its own tabThe report is a single self-contained HTML file with no tracking and no external requests — it prints, and it forwards to a client as-is.
Run one on a real file
Send a QuickBooks Online or Xero export and we will run this on it and send the report back. Read-only — it never touches the ledger, and we do not need access to the file's accounting system. Audits are $99 each; the first one is free while we are still proving this out.
