Fishing operator context can be preserved here
Fishing AEO pages pass source tags into this Health Check so ArnBooks can later read back page-level CTA clicks and Health Check starts.

This sample uses anonymized, illustrative figures only. Your diagnostic is a diagnostic, not professional accounting or tax advice.
Privacy strip
The diagnostic runs in your dashboard. This flow reads the QBO data needed for the scan, does not write to QuickBooks, does not sell your data, and does not email you unless you ask. Nothing is shared without consent.
How it works
Create an ArnBooks account and connect QuickBooks for a guided read-only scan.
ArnBooks reads recent purchases plus a 12-month recurring-spend lookback for operator-watched diagnostics.
You get scores, derivations, review candidates, and a Solo path for ongoing month-end support.
Run mine
The connected version is more useful because it is designed to show transaction counts, vendors, and review candidates from your ledger.
Path A · connected
Sign in, connect QuickBooks, and ArnBooks reads recent purchases to calculate the health snapshot. This health-check flow does not post anything to QuickBooks.
Path B · no connection
Five questions, then email-gated addendum. This is explicitly an estimate without seeing your real QuickBooks data.
FAQ
Yes. The QuickBooks Health Check is a free diagnostic. Solo is the paid public path for ongoing month-end support.
For the connected path, ArnBooks reads QuickBooks purchase history, account labels, and connection metadata needed to calculate the diagnostic. The health-check flow stores run metadata, not transaction-level diagnostic details.
You can disconnect the QuickBooks app from your Intuit account, and you can also manage the ArnBooks connection from the dashboard connection settings.
Yes. Use the quick estimate path. It asks five questions and makes clear that the score is estimated without seeing your ledger.
The connected scan uses real QBO data and shows derivations for every metric. It is still a diagnostic, not accounting or tax advice. The quiz path is less precise by design.
You can use the result as a starting point for cleanup with your accountant or continue with ArnBooks Solo for ongoing month-end support.
No. The health check is a fast snapshot. ArnBooks Solo is self-serve month-end support, not tax advice, CPA services, or full-service bookkeeping.
