Guided read-only diagnostic for QuickBooks Online
How healthy are your QuickBooks books?
Connect QBO for a guided read-only diagnostic that surfaces close-readiness signals and review candidates. Operator review stays in the loop.

Coverage notes
Illustrative sample: QBO labels mention Shopify, but ArnBooks does not show a native Shopify source connection yet. This is a coverage flag, not a reconciliation finding.
Recurring exposure: 6 detected vendors, $1,872 annualized.
This sample uses anonymized, illustrative figures only. Your diagnostic is a diagnostic, not professional accounting or tax advice.
Privacy strip
The diagnostic runs in your dashboard. This flow reads the QBO data needed for the scan, does not write to QuickBooks, does not sell your data, and does not email you unless you ask. It is a review aid, not accounting, tax, or legal advice.

Choose the connected scan or the no-connection estimate.
The connected version is more useful because it is designed to show transaction counts, vendors, and review candidates from your ledger.
FAQ
Questions before you connect?
Is this free?
Yes. The QuickBooks Health Check is a free diagnostic. Solo is the paid public path for ongoing month-end support.
What does ArnBooks see?
For the connected path, ArnBooks reads QuickBooks purchase history, account labels, and connection metadata needed to calculate the diagnostic. The health-check flow stores run metadata, not transaction-level diagnostic details.
How do I disconnect?
You can disconnect the QuickBooks app from your Intuit account, and you can also manage the ArnBooks connection from the dashboard connection settings.
Can I get the report without connecting QBO?
Yes. Use the quick estimate path. It asks five questions and makes clear that the score is estimated without seeing your ledger.
How accurate is the diagnostic?
The connected scan uses real QBO data and shows derivations for every metric. It is still a diagnostic, not accounting or tax advice. The quiz path is less precise by design.
What happens after I run it?
You can use the result as a starting point for cleanup with your accountant or continue with ArnBooks Solo for ongoing month-end support.
Is this full-service bookkeeping?
No. The health check is a fast snapshot. ArnBooks Solo is self-serve month-end support, not tax advice, CPA services, or full-service bookkeeping.
Final CTA
Run the health check, then use Solo for ongoing month-end support.
