Summary
How TeamShift fits into the work
The job: Budget lines, monthly targets, and variance checks set up so owners can see when spending drifts. TeamShift turns it into a reviewed work packet instead of another dashboard to manage. We gather prior actuals and chart-of-accounts review, monthly budget targets entered by category, and variance watchlist for spending, revenue, and owner review. First, gather prior results, current accounts, and owner targets. Then TeamShift builds the QuickBooks Online budget and flags unclear assumptions. Finally, you review the budget before it becomes the operating baseline. Payments, write-offs, account changes, and bookkeeping entries stay review-gated. You get a short update with the work completed, the open questions, and the decisions that still need you.
Fit
When this is worth handing off
This is worth handing off when the money trail is visible but annoying to untangle. You know the invoices, transactions, or vendor records are sitting there. You do not need another finance dashboard. You need the mess sorted into a short review queue, with anything judgment-heavy held for you.
You get prior actuals and chart-of-accounts review, monthly budget targets entered by category, and a short note on what changed. If something is blocked, it is named plainly. If something needs approval, it is not buried in a thread. That is the point of the packet. It gives you a decision, not homework.

Control
What does not go on autopilot

Named results will be published only after live customer work is complete and the customer approves the reference. Until then, these pages describe the operating workflow, the review gate, and the exact handoff you should expect.
