Client Background
A mobile veterinary practice offering at-home pet care services needed a QuickBooks Clean-Up after years of financial mismanagement. The owner had been mixing business and personal expenses, and QuickBooks didn’t match bank statements, making tax filing a nightmare. The client hired Development Theory to help with a QuickBooks clean-up for a veterinary practice.
The Challenge
Business & Personal Expenses Mixed: The owner’s personal and business transactions were in the same accounts, making tax deductions difficult.
