Query Management

Query Management

At OBG Outsourcing Private Limited, we know that unaddressed questions, missing receipts, and ambiguous transactions slow down book closing and tax filings. Our Client Query Preparation Service bridges the gap between raw financial data and finalized reports. We review, categorize, and compile systematic, ready-to-send query files—saving your core team dozens of hours every month.

What We Cover in Query Preparation

Uncategorized Transaction Audits: Reviewing bank and credit card feeds to flag ambiguous deposits, transfers, and expenses.

Missing Document Logs: Identifying missing invoices, bills, W-9/1099 details, or receipt documentation.

Tax & Compliance Clarifications: Drafting clear, precise tax-related questions (US 1040/1120/1065, UK VAT, Sales Tax/BAS) to send directly to end clients.

Balance Sheet & Reconciliation Queries: Highlighting unexplained ledger variances, old uncleared checks, or intercompany balances.

How Our Query Preparation Process Works

1.Initial Workpaper & Data Scrutiny:

Our accounting team reviews bank feeds, general ledgers, and trial balances across QuickBooks, Xero, Drake, or your proprietary software to spot discrepancies, uncategorized transactions, and missing support schedules.

2.Query Extraction & Categorization:

Instead of sending piecemeal emails, we aggregate all missing items into a single, structured Query Sheet organized by category, date, amount, and recommended action.

3.Quality & Narrative Review:

A senior reviewer checks the queries to ensure questions are clear, professionally framed, and accompanied by initial research (e.g., matching vendor names or previous transaction patterns).

4.Delivery in Ready-to-Send Format:

We deliver the prepared query file directly to your firm or upload it to your client portal (e.g., Karbon, Canopy, QBO Client Requests) so you can forward it to end-clients with one click.

5.Resolution & Posting:

Once responses or documents are received, our team updates the books, clears the queries, and proceeds to draft final financial reports or tax returns.
