Having so many issues with my client's QBO bank feeds.

Chase

BOA

TD Bank

All of these are disconnecting weekly and they're looking at me for answers and I have nothing other that "QBO can kick rocks".

Anyone else running into this?

TL;DR: I started a bookkeeping practice with someone I'd worked with for years. In 6 months I got us business, paid him, and now he's been flaky and MIA. He finally resigned. Turns out there's nothing written for any client, no SOP for onboarding new ones, and I have 6 starting last week.

I started a bookkeeping and outsourced accounting firm six months ago with someone I'd met while consulting 5/6 years ago. I'm a sales person, and an ops guy. I don't have the knowledge on accounting or bookkeeping. What I can do is get business, hire, and scale an organization. I managed to pull some clients and we did cleanups to start Jan 26.

The guy I had partnered with was supposed to do some specific things:

1. Set up the accounting ops for our org
2. Set up our SOPs for each client; onboarding, document processes, set up daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly lists
3. Do the work for each client for 2 months, then we hire and hand off. He stays on as a reviewer
4. Help me with quoting new business

Well,

turns out none of that happened or was happening. I was strung along and shown a lot of work that didn't come to fruition. Worse, we had 2 people starting last week that the handoff was supposed to happen for, and now I have no idea how to bring them onto an account. I just had one call and they had too many questions I couldn't answer.

So my business brain is telling me this:

1. Find someone to come in consultant capacity and do the above for the clients I have
2. talk to my clients and my CPA partners about whats going on
3. just accept I'm losing money for the next 4-6 months on this
4. pause on taking on new clients (have a few in the pipeline)
5. Start a slow, intentional, search for another partner

Does this sound like a good plan? Just doing a gut check here. Pretty bummed because I was expecting to build a huge book of business this summer. Would rather retain the clients I do have though. Has anyone had a fallout with their partner like this? Tf did you do? Feels like I just got dumped and walked out on after having a baby having never been a parent.
