Is Your QuickBooks File Showing These Symptoms?
- Slow to open, long backup time, or frequent freezing
- Verify/Rebuild errors or -6000 series file errors
- Multi-user lag over the network
- Reports take too long to run
- “Data damage” warnings or frequent crashing
- The file has years of history; you don’t need anymore.
If the above sounds familiar, a professional condense can help.
What Our Condense Service Includes
Purpose-built for QuickBooks Desktop (Pro/Premier/Enterprise)
1. Diagnostic & Health Check
Readiness scan, Verify/Rebuild review, and risk assessment; we confirm whether condense is the right approach.
2. Archive & Safeguards
We create a pre-condense archival backup and a clear rollback plan.
3. Data Clean-Up (Pre-Condense)
Optional list tidy-up (unused items, vendors, customers), reindexing, and minor corruption repair to improve condense success.
4. Condense Strategy
Choose the correct cutoff date and method (summary/transaction removal where appropriate) to keep current-year detail while reducing legacy volume.
5. Execute Condense
Hands-on processing by our specialists with checkpoints and validation after each pass.
6. Post-Condense Validation
Balance checks, key report tie-outs, and user acceptance walkthrough. We document before/after file size and performance gains.
Deliverables
- Pre- and post-condense backups
- Before/after file size report
- Exception notes & recommendations
- Administrator handoff checklist
Timeline: Most projects are completed within 2 weeks after the diagnostic. Expedited service available.
Why Condense Instead of Starting Over?
-
Keep what’s current. Retain recent detail and lists while summarizing older activity.
-
Improve performance. Smaller files generally open faster and run reports more quickly.
-
Reduce corruption risk. Removing obsolete transactions can lower data fragility.
-
Lower IT overhead. Backups and maintenance become lighter.
Not every file should be condensed. If we find that rebuild, upgrade, or migration would be safer, we’ll advise you before work begins.
When Condense May Not Be the Best Option
-
Severe corruption that fails Verify/Rebuild
-
Complex audit requirements that need full historical detail
-
Major chart of accounts restructuring or multi-entity redesign
-
You’re planning a near-term upgrade or migration (e.g., Enterprise, QuickBooks Online, or Business Central)
In these cases, we’ll recommend a safer path—file rebuild, split, or migration—and can handle that end-to-end.
Security & Compliance You Can Trust
- U.S.-based experts; no outsourcing
- Encrypted file transfer and at-rest encryption
- Work performed in isolated, secured environments
- Optional Mutual NDA
- Clear audit trail and documentation
