QUICKBOOKS PROPOSAL
The engagement runs across three phases. Each closes with a written deliverable and a review call before the next begins.
PHASE 1 · SETUP + CLEANUP
QuickBooks Online setup, chart of accounts build or rework, bank and credit card feed connections, and cleanup of the current period so we begin from a reconciled baseline.
PHASE 2 · MONTHLY BOOKKEEPING
Transaction categorization, monthly bank and credit card reconciliations, P&L and balance sheet, and a written close summary delivered by the 15th of the following month.
PHASE 3 · YEAR-END + CPA HANDOFF
Year-end adjustments, 1099 preparation where applicable, and a complete year-end package delivered directly to your CPA with supporting reports and reconciliations.
Not included: QuickBooks Online subscription cost, tax filing, payroll processing, and historical rework beyond the onboarding scope. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

The Quickbooks Proposal template is a five-page document for putting your engagement on paper before it starts. It carries an overview with stat cards, objectives, a three-phase scope of work, an investment table with a computed total, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.
It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual deliverables, and set the price. Merge fields handle the client details and date, and the last page collects a PO number, start date, and both signatures.
Everything below comes pre-configured. Turn sections on or off, edit the copy, or add your own — Bonsai remembers your choices for next time.
Can I edit every section? Yes — every heading, paragraph, stat, table row, and signature block is fully editable in Bonsai.
Can I add more pages? Yes — add, reorder, or duplicate pages once the template is open.
Do merge fields auto-fill? Yes — Sender, Receiver, and Date pull from your client contact and the current date automatically.
