Behind on your books by months or years? We rebuild them.
We catch up and clean up every year you are behind, reconcile every account to the statements, and file the tax returns you missed. Then we keep you current each month.
Signs you need a cleanup
If any of these sound familiar, your books need work.
Most messy books have the same handful of problems. We fix all of them, not just the ones that show up on the P&L.
- Bank and credit card accounts that haven't been reconciled in months
- Hundreds of transactions in "Uncategorized" or "Ask my accountant"
- A balance in Opening Balance Equity that nobody can explain
- Personal and business spending mixed in the same accounts
- Shopify, Amazon or Square deposits recorded as one lump sum
- Sales tax payments booked as an expense
- A bookkeeper who left, and no one knows what they did
- Tax returns not filed, or filed using estimated numbers
From a recent project
Three years of QuickBooks Online, rebuilt.
A small business came to us with three years of unreconciled books. We rebuilt and reconciled every year and delivered clean financial statements for each one.
- Years rebuilt

- Hours of work
- 280
How cleanup works
Oldest year first, one year at a time.
Each year is closed and checked before we move on, so every opening balance is correct.

FAQ
Cleanup questions.
How long does a cleanup take?
It depends on how many years and accounts are involved and how quickly statements come in. We give you a timeline with the quote, and you get each year's statements as soon as that year is finished.
I don't have all my bank statements. Can you still help?
Yes. Most banks let you download past statements online. If yours does not, we help you request them. We start with the years you have while the rest come in.
I never used accounting software. Can you still clean up my books?
Yes. We can rebuild everything from your bank and card statements, in QuickBooks or in Excel and Google Sheets.
I also have tax returns I haven't filed. Can you do both?
Yes. Once each year's books are closed, we prepare and file that year's federal and state returns.
What happens after the cleanup?
Most clients move to monthly bookkeeping so the books never fall behind again. It is optional.
