A US-based virtual bookkeeping firm founded in 2016 by Amber Malone, working exclusively inside clients' QuickBooks Online files. They serve service-based businesses only, stating they do not take on non-profits or retail, and describe their bookkeepers as US-based and never outsourced overseas.

A service business already on QuickBooks Online whose books are behind or inaccurate, and whose owner wants one named person to take the entire bookkeeping function over and rebuild it, is a strong fit. They run a paid Diagnostic Review evaluating 75 metrics against bank and card statements before quoting any work, and they state plainly that if you want the lowest possible price on a cleanup or want to keep handling part of the bookkeeping yourself, they are not the right firm. That is a deliberate self-selection toward owners who want a full handover and a rebuilt file, not a partial or price-driven engagement.

Their own eligibility criteria exclude several buyer types before pricing is discussed: QuickBooks Online is required, non-profits and retail are stated as out of scope, and they state they take bookkeeping over completely or not at all, calling partial ownership a source of gaps. They also state they do not file taxes in-house, handing off a year-end package to the client's own CPA instead of filing directly.

Details are drawn from Amber's Accounting & Bookkeeping's own public pricing and service pages as of 2026-08-10 and may have changed since retrieval.

No. They state they do not file taxes in-house, and instead prepare a clean year-end package for the client's CPA or tax professional, offering referral options if the client needs one. Their monthly bookkeeping page states that tax strategy and filing stay with the CPA while bookkeeping stays with them, and that collaborating with the client's CPA is part of the process.

Yes. Business and personal tax filings are available on every Uplinq plan, and tax strategy packages are available for businesses that want proactive planning. Because the same system holds your books and prepares your filings, year end is a handoff, not a project.

No, on both counts, per their own published criteria. Their QuickBooks cleanup page states they work in QuickBooks Online only. Their service-area pages carry a standing qualifier stating they exclusively serve QuickBooks Online users and focus on service-based businesses, with no non-profits or retail. They also state that if you want to handle part of the bookkeeping yourself, they are not the right fit, since they take the work over completely or not at all.

Both, deliberately. Uplinq's AI engine categorizes, reconciles, and monitors your transactions continuously. U.S.-based professional accountants review what the system produces and own every judgment call. You get the speed of technology with a real team accountable for the result.

Pricing is quoted after a paid assessment rather than from a published rate card. The process starts with a Zoom conversation about the business, followed by a paid Diagnostic Review, stated on their pricing page at $599 and creditable toward a package price if one is chosen. The review evaluates 75 metrics across the QuickBooks Online account and produces a written report with a plan. From there, the client receives a proposal for either a one-time cleanup project or a monthly bookkeeping plan carrying a 12-month commitment, with most companies onboarded in one to two weeks after the scope agreement.

That's common, and it's a solved problem. Uplinq's Catch Up service rebuilds past months or years of books as part of onboarding, scoped to how far behind you are and the state of your records. You start clean, not from wherever your last provider left off.

No. Uplinq offers month-to-month agreements as well as annual plans, which carry a discount. If you prepay annually and choose not to renew, you simply give notice 30 days before the term ends.
