White-Label Partner Onboarding & SLAs (Zero-Friction Delivery Under Your Brand)
See how white-label bookkeeping onboarding works—access, cleanup (if needed), monthly close cadence, and SLAs. CPA-reviewed delivery by Xero & QuickBooks Certified teams under your brand.
Bring us a client and we’ll handle the heavy lifting. Our white-label partner onboarding gets your client live in days with a documented close cadence and CPA-reviewed deliverables-while staying invisible under your brand. You remain the admin and relationship owner; we run weekly bookkeeping in Xero or QuickBooks, close each month on a published calendar, and deliver a branded reporting pack with variance notes. If the client is behind, we price and execute cleanup first, then roll into the monthly engine. Below is the exact playbook, SLAs, and responsibilities so you can sell confidently and scale capacity on demand.
Delivery Roles (Simple, No Surprises)
| Your Firm (stays visible) | RBO (operates white-label) |
|---|---|
| Own client relationship, pricing, proposals, invoicing | Run weekly bookkeeping + month-end close under your brand |
| Retain admin in QBO/Xero; approve AR/AP releases | Prepare AR/AP runs (maker/checker), post payroll JEs |
| Present financials to client | Produce branded reporting pack + CPA review & variance notes |
| Decide scope changes/tier | Staff capacity, maintain SOPs, meet SLAs |
Onboarding Timeline (Standard)
Day 0-1: Access & Intake
- Your intake form: industry, software, accounts, AR/AP scope, payroll, apps
- Invite our team to your firm in QBO/Xero (least-privilege roles)
- Receive the Close Calendar draft (targeting next month-end)
Day 2-4: Gap Review & Quote Finalization
- Health check: unreconciled months, Undeposited Funds, aging issues, app mappings
- If backlog exists: fixed-window cleanup quote (cost + timeline)
- Confirm tier (Core/Growth/Scale), SLAs, and first close date
Day 5-10: Setup / Cleanup (if needed)
- Rebuild rules, normalize vendors, reconcile accounts to statements
- Fix AR/AP anomalies; post required adjusting entries
- CPA reviewer validates tie-outs; we keep workpapers
Day 11+: Run Monthly Cadence
- Weekly bookkeeping rhythm (imports, categorizations, exception clearing)
- Month-end close checklist → CPA review → branded reporting pack
- Your team presents; we remain invisible unless invited
SLAs You Can Promise Clients
Onboarding: 3-7 business days after access
Catch-Up (if needed): 1-4 weeks (firm window after assessment)
Close Calendar: target next month-end after onboarding

What “Done” Looks Like Each Month (Deliverables Under Your Brand)
Reconciliations for all bank/credit/loan accounts (PDFs saved)
Reporting Pack: P&L, Balance Sheet, AR/AP aging, cash highlights (branded)
Variance Notes: concise explainer of what changed and why
Adjusting Entries: accruals, prepaids, depreciation with schedules
Period-Lock Guidance: protect prior months from drift
AR/AP & Payroll-How Handoffs Work
AR (optional): we prepare invoicing and cash application; you/your client retain collection strategy
AP (optional): we capture bills, route approvals, and schedule payment runs; you approve releases
Payroll JEs: we post imports and accruals; payroll filings remain with the payroll provider/your firm
Capacity on Demand (How We Scale With You)
Tiered pods (Core/Growth/Scale) expand headcount without re-training your staff
Standardized SOPs per client; any pod can step in with no loss of context
Forecast tool (simple sheet) to reserve capacity for upcoming wins
Security, Access & Audit Trail (Client-Safe by Design)
Client-owned QBO/Xero; we operate under least-privilege roles
Read-only bank feeds wherever possible
All activity remains in client audit logs; changes tracked in SOP change-log
What We Need From You (Checklist)
Intake form + QBO/Xero access + connected app list
Prior month statements for all accounts; latest AR/AP aging
Scope confirmation (AR, AP, payroll JEs, inventory/multi-entity)
Preferred branding (logo, firm name, email signatures)

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you onboard multiple clients at once?
Within days. We reserve capacity via pods; timelines are SLA-backed even during busy season.
Will the client ever see your brand?
Not unless you want them to. We deliver white-label artifacts and can join as “your bookkeeping team” if invited.
How do you handle a messy file during onboarding?
We propose a fixed-window cleanup (cost + timeline). After cleanup and CPA review, we move into the monthly cadence.
What if my client needs both AR and AP?
Use Growth with both workflows or step up to Scale if complexity is high. We’ll confirm the tier after a 10-minute file review.
Who presents the numbers to the client?
You do. We produce the branded reporting pack and talking points (variance notes); your firm stays front-and-center.
Can we switch tiers later?
Yes-tiers change with volume/complexity. We update after month-end to keep the close on schedule.
Do you lock periods automatically?
We provide a period-lock recommendation post CPA review; you control the lock in QBO/Xero.
