Accounting Software: Selection, Implementation, & Management

Get the right tools, set up the right way, to power your business decisions.

In today's market, your accounting software is the central nervous system of your business. But with so many options—QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, plus add-ons for payroll (like Gusto) and payments (like Melio)—how do you choose?

Picking the wrong software, or setting it up incorrectly, can lead to years of headaches. You get "garbage in, garbage out," messy reports you can't trust, and hours of wasted time on manual data entry.

Fred Lundin CPA takes the guesswork out of your tech stack. We don't just recommend software; we partner with you to select, implement, and manage the perfect ecosystem of tools for your specific business, ensuring your data is accurate, efficient, and useful from day one.

What We Do: Your Accounting Tech Stack Partner

Our service is broken down into three simple phases, designed to build a system that works for you, not against you.


Selection & Strategy (The "What")

Before you buy anything, we analyze your business. We learn your workflow, industry, and goals.

      • Needs Analysis: We'll assess your transaction volume, invoicing needs, inventory, and reporting requirements.
      • Platform Recommendation: We'll help you choose the right core platform (like QuickBooks Online, Xero, or Zoho Books) that fits your needs and budget.
      • App Ecosystem (Tech Stack) Design: We identify the best-in-class apps for payroll, bill pay, expense tracking, and more, ensuring they all "talk" to each other seamlessly.


Implementation & Setup (The "How")

This is the most critical step. We build your new system from the ground up, correctly.

      • Chart of Accounts Setup: We create a customized Chart of Accounts that is structured for your industry and provides you with meaningful management reports.
      • Bank & Credit Card Feeds: We connect your financial accounts to automate data entry and streamline reconciliation.
      • App Integration: We properly connect your entire tech stack (e.g., Gusto, Melio, etc.) to your general ledger to ensure data flows accurately.
      • Data Migration: If you're moving from an old system, we'll manage the migration of your historical data.

Management & Support (The "Ongoing")

Technology is not "set it and forget it." We provide ongoing support to keep your system clean and efficient.

      • Team Training: We'll train you and your team on how to use the new software and follow best-practice workflows.
      • Ongoing Oversight: As part of our bookkeeping or CFO services, we'll monitor your system to catch and fix errors before they become big problems.
      • Workflow Optimization: As your business grows, we'll help you optimize your processes and add new tools to support your success.


We're Experts in the Tools You Use

We are not tied to one platform. We are proficient in the leading cloud accounting tools for small businesses, including:

    • QuickBooks Online (QBO)
    • Xero Accounting
    • Zoho Books & Zoho One
    • Gusto & QB Payroll (Payroll & HR)

    • ...and many other third-party applications.
