Deep Cleanup

Handoff or Transition

What’s Included

Everything That Goes Into a Proper Cleanup

Account Reconciliation

All bank accounts, credit cards, and loans reconciled to match your actual statements. Discrepancies found and resolved.

Profit and loss and balance sheet reviewed for accuracy. Errors corrected so your reports reflect what actually happened in your business.

Chart of Accounts Cleanup

We evaluate your return of accounts to support accurate financial reporting. We recommend enhancements when appropriate.

Who This Is For

Anyone Who Has Let Their Books Slide

There is no judgment here. Books fall behind for all kinds of reasons. This service exists to fix the problem efficiently so you can move forward with clarity.

New Business Owners

You started strong but the books fell behind as the business picked up. Now you need everything caught up before year end.

Business Owners Switching Bookkeepers

Your previous bookkeeper left gaps or errors that need to be corrected before you can start fresh with a new system.

DIY Bookkeepers Who Got Overwhelmed

You were managing your own books but it got to be too much. You need someone to step in, clean it up, and hand it back in order.

Businesses Preparing for Tax Season

Tax time is approaching and your books are not ready. A cleanup now saves you from a costly and stressful scramble later.
