Books cleanup
For records that exist but do not quite add up. Cleanup investigates the differences, documents corrections, and gives you a clearer starting point for the work ahead.
Explore the detailsPrivate preparation only. Inquiries and scheduling are not open.
What the work includes
A useful result,
clearly defined.
These are the deliverables to discuss when agreeing on your scope.
- 01
Findings before fixes
A review of the agreed accounts and periods, with a prioritized explanation of the issues found.
- 02
A correction trail
Supported adjustments and a record of what changed, why it changed, and what still needs confirmation.
- 03
A more reliable routine
Closing reports and practical workflow recommendations to reduce repeated errors.
When it fits
Does this sound familiar?
- Bank balances and the books disagree.
- Duplicate entries, uncategorized activity, or old balances keep resurfacing.
- You changed workflows or bookkeepers and want to understand what was carried forward.
A useful distinction
A correction should have an explanation.
We start with evidence, not a balancing entry chosen to make a difference disappear.
- Investigate
- Compare statements, transaction history, and the existing reports.
- Resolve or disclose
- Correct supported errors and clearly identify items that cannot yet be resolved.
Prepare for the conversation
The records behind the work.
- The current bookkeeping file and reports
- Statements for the accounts under review
- Prior closing reports and known adjustments
- Examples of the differences that concern you
Gather these for an agreed secure handoff. Do not send sensitive documents through this website.
How it moves forward
- 01
Diagnose
Review the symptoms and identify what evidence is needed.
- 02
Agree on repairs
Separate essential corrections from optional workflow changes.
- 03
Document and hand over
Review the corrected position and the remaining limitations together.
Build a repeatable record routine with the free monthly bookkeeping checklist, or compare catch-up, cleanup and monthly work.
Before we begin
A few useful answers.
Do all of my books need to be redone?
Not necessarily. The review identifies the affected accounts and periods so the repair scope can be proportionate to the problem.
What if a correction affects a filed return?
Take the issue to a qualified tax professional. A bookkeeping correction does not by itself determine whether a return should be amended.
The next conversation
Start with the differences you can see.
Describe the main issue without sharing account numbers or records. A review can identify which repairs need a separate scope.
