Where can I find a QuickBooks ProAdvisor in Utah?
Intuit maintains an official Find-a-ProAdvisor directory at quickbooks.intuit.com/find-an-accountant. You can search by city or zip code to see certified professionals near you. For Utah businesses, searching for Salt Lake City, Provo, or American Fork will return ProAdvisors serving the Wasatch Front area.
The directory gives you names and contact information, but it won’t tell you much about fit. ProAdvisor certification means someone passed Intuit’s exams on QuickBooks features and navigation. It confirms software knowledge. It doesn’t confirm they understand your industry or have experience with your type of business.
A ProAdvisor who works with e-commerce companies and retail stores won’t know how to configure QuickBooks for job costing. Someone who primarily handles service businesses might not understand progress billing or retainage tracking. The certification is the same, but the practical knowledge is completely different.
When evaluating ProAdvisors, ask about their experience with businesses similar to yours. A good QuickBooks setup goes beyond turning on features. It means configuring your chart of accounts, classes, and items in ways that produce reports you can actually use. Generic setup creates technically correct books that don’t track what matters for your operations.
For contractors and construction companies specifically, look for someone who understands job costing structure and can set up cost codes that match how you estimate and bid work. The difference between a well-configured system and a generic one is whether you can see profitability by project or just an overall profit number that doesn’t help you make decisions.
TRUEquity Bookkeeping is a contractor bookkeeper in American Fork with QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification and construction industry experience. If your business is along the Wasatch Front and you need someone who knows both the software and how contractors actually operate, that combination of technical certification and industry background matters more than either one alone.
