Our bookkeeping cleanup FAQs

Bookkeeping cleanup includes correcting past errors, categorizing uncoded transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, and ensuring your books are complete, accurate, and tax-ready. We bring your financials up-to-date in accordance with GAAP or cash-basis needs.

This service is ideal for small to mid-sized businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs who’ve fallen behind on their books and/or tax filings. Whether you’ve been DIYing or working with a previous bookkeeper, we help quickly clean things up.

Cleanup gets your financials in order so you can make decisions with confidence. It ensures tax compliance, improves reporting accuracy, and gives you a clearer picture of your cash flow, profitability, and growth opportunities. With accurate data and clear financials, your business survival rate increases drastically.

Start with a free consultation to review your current accounting state. From there, we’ll evaluate the scope of cleanup needed and provide a custom quote. Once you sign on, we’ll begin onboarding and get to work right away.

We use secure, cloud-based software with bank-grade encryption and two-factor authentication. Only authorized team members have access to your financial records, and we follow strict internal protocols to protect your data every step of the way.

We’ll need access to your accounting system (e.g. QuickBooks Online or Xero), your business bank and credit card accounts, and any historical tax returns or documents available. Your dedicated onboarding specialist will guide you through a simple checklist during onboarding so nothing gets missed.

Cleanup is priced based on how much cleanup is needed, how many accounts are involved, and the complexity of the books. Your dedicated controller will provide a custom quote after our initial evaluation – no hidden fees.

We primarily work with QuickBooks Online and Xero, along with tools like BILL, Gusto, Expensify, Ramp, A2X, and more for supporting functionality. If you’re currently using another platform, let us know – our team can evaluate compatibility during your initial consultation.

Yes! Once cleanup is complete, many clients opt for ongoing bookkeeping, controller, CFO, and/or tax services. During your initial consultation, we’ll recommend the right fit based on your size and goals so you can maintain clean books and gain access to a financial expert(s) for all of your important business decisions.

You’ll walk away with fully updated books that are accurate, categorized, reconciled, and ready for tax filing, reporting, or advisory. We’ll also provide documentation of what was corrected so you can start fresh with full clarity and confidence.
