Bookkeeping Cleanup
Catch-up bookkeeping for businesses that have fallen behind. We take your backlogged records, sort through the transactions, reconcile everything, and deliver clean books ready for tax filing or loan applications.
The Backlog
You were busy running your business. Serving customers. Managing employees. Dealing with the hundred things that demand attention every day. The bookkeeping got pushed to next week, then next month. Now you’re six months or a year behind and the pile feels impossible to tackle.
We treat this as a repair project with a beginning and an end. You hand over whatever records you have and we work backward through the mess. Every transaction gets categorized. Every month gets reconciled. When we’re done your books match your bank statements and you have a clear picture of where your business stands.
The Assessment
The Assessment
We start by looking at what you have. Bank statements, receipts, old QuickBooks files, spreadsheets, shoeboxes. We figure out how far behind you are and what it will take to get current. Then we give you a flat project price with no surprises.
The Rebuild
The Rebuild
We work through the backlog month by month. Transactions get classified correctly. Missing pieces get tracked down. We reconcile until the numbers match your accounts and build you a clean ledger that reflects what actually happened in your business.
What It Costs You
Messy books create a kind of low-grade anxiety that sits in the background of everything you do. You know you need to deal with it but you keep putting it off. Tax season arrives and you scramble to pull something together. A lending opportunity comes up and you cannot produce the financials the bank needs to see.
The longer you wait the bigger the problem grows. You make decisions based on your bank balance instead of actual profit margins. You avoid looking at the numbers because you know they will not tell you anything useful. You are flying blind in your own business.
Tax Problems
Tax Problems
You cannot file accurate returns without accurate books. Guessing leads to either overpaying because you missed deductions or underpaying and triggering questions from the IRS. Every year you delay proper bookkeeping adds risk and potentially costs you money.
Locked Out of Lending
Locked Out of Lending
Banks want to see financials before they lend. They do not care about your potential or your reputation. They care about proof. Walk in without clean profit and loss statements and balance sheets and they will show you the door no matter how solid your business actually is.
The Fresh Start
When the cleanup is done you have a complete financial picture of your business. You know what you made and what you spent. You have reports you can hand to your CPA at tax time or show a banker when you need a line of credit. The guessing stops.
More importantly you have a clean starting point. The backlog is cleared and the stress is gone. You can either take over the bookkeeping yourself with a clean slate or we can continue with monthly maintenance so you never fall into this hole again.
Peace of Mind
Peace of Mind
No more wondering what is hiding in those unreconciled months. No more dreading the conversation with your accountant. Your books are accurate and you can answer questions about your finances with confidence instead of vague estimates.
A Clean Slate
