WHEN IT'S TIME TO CLEAN UP YOUR BOOKS
When Do You Need Catch-Up or Cleanup Bookkeeping?
Cleanup bookkeeping isn't just for businesses that are years behind. Sometimes the books are current but the numbers don't look right. Other times, a tax deadline, financing request, or change in bookkeepers suddenly makes getting accurate financials a priority.

Months — or Years — Behind
Bookkeeping has piled up and you need to get everything current without spending weeks trying to untangle it yourself.
Tax Time Is Coming

QuickBooks Doesn't Look Right — Balances don't make sense, accounts haven't been reconciled, or you don't trust the reports you're looking at.

CATCH-UP BOOKKEEPING FAQ
Questions About Cleaning Up Your Books?
How far back can you clean up my books?
We can clean up a few months, a full year, or multiple years of bookkeeping. We'll review your QuickBooks Online file first to determine what needs to be corrected and how far back the cleanup should go.
How long does a bookkeeping cleanup take?
It depends on how far behind the books are and the condition of the file. Smaller cleanups may take a few days, while larger or multi-year projects can take several weeks. We'll give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your book
Can you fix bookkeeping done incorrectly by another bookkeeper?
Yes. Many cleanup projects involve correcting previous bookkeeping, unreconciled accounts, duplicate or misclassified transactions, incorrect balances, and other issues that have accumulated over time.
Can you work directly with my CPA?
Absolutely. We can coordinate directly with your CPA, answer bookkeeping questions, provide financial reports, and help get your books ready for tax preparation.
What happens after my books are cleaned up?
You can take the clean books back and manage them yourself, or we can continue with monthly bookkeeping to keep everything reconciled, accurate, and up to date.
