QUARTERLY INSIGHTS

October 2026

Greetings!

Fall has a way of reminding us just how quickly the year goes by. As the days grow shorter and we move closer to winter, it's a natural time to look back at what the year has brought and begin thinking about what comes next. For business owners, that often means balancing the demands of finishing the year with preparing for the opportunities and challenges ahead.

This fall is especially meaningful for One 8 Solutions as we celebrate 25 years in business. Since 2001, we've watched technology transform the accounting profession and the way businesses operate. What hasn't changed is the importance of the relationships we've built along the way. To our clients, referral partners, and everyone who has been part of our journey, thank you for the trust and support you've given us over the years.

As we approach 2027, it's worth remembering that progress doesn't always come from making big changes. Sometimes it starts with recognizing what has worked, addressing what hasn't, and making thoughtful decisions about where to focus your time and resources in the year ahead.

Whatever this year has brought your way, we hope you finish 2026 feeling proud of what you've accomplished and optimistic about what's ahead.

A Milestone Built on Relationships

In 2001, Jonathan Bello founded what would become One 8 Solutions as an IT consulting business serving QuickBooks users in the accounting profession. As technology and business needs evolved, so did we. Today, our work spans bookkeeping, controller-level accounting, and business advisory, with the same focus on helping business owners understand their numbers and make sound decisions.

The technology has changed significantly over 25 years, but trusted relationships and experienced judgment remain central to our work. We are grateful to the clients who have placed their trust in us, the referral partners who have introduced us to others, and the team members who have helped us grow.

The anniversary is an opportunity to thank the clients, referral partners, and team members who have helped shape our firm. Those relationships remain at the center of our work as we look ahead.

QuickBooks Online Tip

Found an error in a previously reconciled bank or credit card account? QuickBooks Online allows users with appropriate permissions to undo an entire reconciliation and start again. Before making the change, check whether the issue can be corrected another way and save the reconciliation report and attachments. Undoing a reconciliation also reverses any later reconciliations for that account, so you may need to redo several months.

This short tutorial walks through who can undo a reconciliation, where to find the option, and what to review before confirming the change. When in doubt, discuss the issue with your accountant first.
