Bookkeeping Cleanup

Bringing incomplete or backlogged records up to date. Historical data is sorted and categorized to create a clean set of books ready for tax filing. Past errors are corrected and data gaps are filled.

The Project

This is for businesses that have fallen behind. Maybe you haven’t touched the books in six months. Maybe you have been mixing personal and business expenses. Maybe you tried to do it yourself and realized halfway through the year that the numbers don’t add up.

We treat this as a repair job. We take whatever records you have. We sort through the chaos. We rebuild your financial history month by month until everything matches the bank statements.

The Assessment

We start by looking at what you have and what is missing. We figure out the scope of the gap. Then we give you a flat fee to close it. You get a fixed price to go from “mess” to “done.”

The Sorting

We process the backlog. We classify every transaction from the past year or years. We spot the missing checks and the duplicate deposits. We build a clean ledger from the ground up.

The Friction

Messy books act like an anchor. You cannot move forward because you don’t have the documentation to prove where you are. You are stuck in a state of low-level panic about what happens if the IRS asks a question you can’t answer.

Everything is harder than it needs to be. You can’t fill out a credit application. You don’t know if you can afford that new truck. You are flying blind and hoping there is enough cash in the account to cover payroll.

Tax Problems

You cannot file a return based on a guess. If you haven’t filed in years because the books aren’t ready you are racking up penalties. Getting the books clean is the only way to stop the fines.

Lending Dead Ends

Banks do not lend on potential. They lend on proof. If you walk in with a messy spreadsheet or no reports at all they will show you the door. Clean historical data is the key to capital.

The Outcome

The anxiety stops. You go from hiding from your finances to owning them. You know exactly how much money you made and where it went. You have a clean set of reports that you can hand to any banker or tax official with confidence.

Most importantly you get a clean slate. Once the repair work is done you are ready for standard monthly maintenance. You never have to worry about falling into this hole again.

Compliance

Your past is sorted. Your tax returns can be filed accurately. The risk of an audit nightmare is drastically reduced because you finally have the documentation to back up your numbers.

A Fresh Start

We hand over a balanced file. The messy history is resolved. You start the next month with accurate balances and a clear process for moving forward.
