Know what is missing before you send the month to your accountant.
ArnBooks reviews your QuickBooks workspace and receipt evidence, then packages the loose ends into a read-only month-end handoff: missing receipts, review issues, recurring spend, source coverage, and a plain-English summary.

Launch offer
Start with the free report. Continue with Solo when the issue list is real.
The first step should not be a cold checkout. Run the Close Readiness Report, see the review items, take a few quick wins, then decide whether Solo is worth continuing.
Free diagnostic wedge
Packet first
Review aid only. Not tax filing, not CPA services, and not full-service bookkeeping.
A QuickBooks Close Readiness Packet: missing receipts, review issues, recurring spend, source coverage, and accountant handoff notes.
A downloadable ZIP with summary, issue list, missing receipts, receipt evidence, recurring spend, source coverage, and README files.
A Solo path after the free report for owners who want recurring month-end support around the same QuickBooks file.
Month-end scavenger hunt
Month-end should not start with a scavenger hunt.
By the time the month closes, the missing context is scattered. ArnBooks turns that messy middle into a concrete review packet before you hand the books over.
Receipts sit in inboxes, camera rolls, glove boxes, and card statements instead of one handoff packet.
Card charges, recurring tools, and sales-channel fees need context before anyone can trust the month.
QuickBooks may have the transactions, but the story around those transactions is still scattered.
Accountant handoff turns into a scramble for missing details you barely remember.
Report workflow
ArnBooks turns review work into an accountant handoff packet.
Run the free report
Start with QuickBooks Online and the context around the places money enters or leaves: bank, card, Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Etsy, or TikTok Shop.
ArnBooks finds review items
Missing receipts, category-confidence issues, owner-review candidates, duplicate-looking activity, recurring spend, and source gaps become a reviewable issue list.
You get the handoff
Solo workspaces can turn the review into a Close Packet ZIP with CSVs, a summary, source coverage, and an accountant README.
QuickBooks layer
It works with your QuickBooks, not around it.
QuickBooks Online remains the source of truth for the ledger and reports. ArnBooks adds the missing founder-operator layer: cleanup guidance, multi-channel context, dashboards, and a reviewable month-end issue list.
Works with your existing QuickBooks Online ledger instead of replacing it.
Creates suggested categories, notes, and review questions before you or your bookkeeper make changes.
Uses exports and available sales context from Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Etsy, and TikTok Shop.
Keeps cleanup guidance separate from your live ledger unless you choose to apply it.

Pricing
Solo is $99/month, or $990/year.
Solo is the self-serve month-end support workspace for founder-operators. Guided setup is limited to pilot validation and is not the public launch offer.
Solo
$990/year if you prefer annual. Includes issue lists, evidence questions, Ask ArnBooks, and async onboarding guidance. Buyer-facing receipt upload remains gated until proof is complete.

Questions solo owners ask first.
Does ArnBooks replace my accountant?
No. ArnBooks is month-end close support for founders, not full-service bookkeeping, tax advice, CPA services, or a replacement for your accountant.
Do I need QuickBooks Online?
Yes for the first version. QuickBooks Online remains the ledger and reporting system; ArnBooks is the thin layer that makes the month-end review calmer and faster.
What if a categorization is wrong?
The issue list is designed for review. You can accept, edit, split, mark personal, or hand the item to your bookkeeper before anything changes in the ledger.
Which accounts and platforms will connect?
The MVP is focused on QuickBooks Online plus bank/card activity and common online revenue sources like Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Etsy, and TikTok Shop.
Can I still use my tax preparer?
Yes. The goal is to give them clearer notes, categories to review, and source context so year-end handoff is less painful. ArnBooks does not provide tax advice.
Is this for startups or small businesses?
ArnBooks is built for one-person online businesses first: solo ecommerce, freelance, creator, and digital service businesses with simple-to-moderate books.
Will ArnBooks move money or make payments?
No. ArnBooks is for review, issue lists, dashboards, and cleanup guidance. It does not move money.
When can I use it?
Solo checkout is the launch path for founder-operators who want the month-end support workspace. Any hands-on audit or custom help is separate, manual, and not part of the public Solo launch.
