Cleanup & Catch Up

When the books are behind, messy, or no longer reliable, Cleanup & Catch-Up is designed to get them back in order.

This service is for businesses dealing with uncategorized transactions, unreconciled accounts, inconsistent bookkeeping, or a QuickBooks file that has gotten off track. The goal is to solve the problems that made you call in the first place and leave you with clean, usable books you can move forward with.

Common issues this can address

  • Books that are months behind

  • Bank and credit card accounts that haven’t been reconciled

  • Uncategorized or incorrect transactions

  • Disorganized or unreliable QuickBooks files

  • Prior bookkeeping work that was inconsistent

  • Books that are not ready for tax time

  • Numbers that no longer feel accurate or trustworthy

What this service is designed to do

  • Get the books caught up

  • Clean up messy or unreliable records

  • Resolve the issues keeping the books from making sense

  • Create a cleaner, more usable set of books going forward

Who it’s for

This service is a good fit for small businesses that know the books need attention but are not sure where to start. It is designed for owners who want the mess cleaned up, the problems resolved, and the bookkeeping brought back to a place where it is usable and manageable again.

What to expect

Cleanup work is scoped after a review of the books, since the condition of the file can vary widely from one business to the next. Some projects are relatively straightforward, while others involve deeper cleanup, corrections, and account review before the books are back in good order.

What it is not

Cleanup & Catch-Up is designed to get the books back in order, not to replace tax preparation, tax strategy, or deeper financial analysis. If broader reporting, ongoing support, or higher-level financial oversight is needed after the cleanup is complete, that can be addressed separately.
