02Cleanup & catch-up

The books are behind. That does not mean you are.

A pile of uncategorized transactions is a solvable problem. We sort through the history, find the loose ends, and give you a clear path back to current books without a guilt trip.

Cleanup pricing varies based on the number of months that need attention. Larger upfront cleanup projects may qualify for a discounted rate.

Start where it is

We look at the actual state of the file instead of asking you to make it tidy first.

Untangle the past

Work through old transactions, missing details, and accounts that no longer tell the truth.

Move forward

Finish with a clear next step for keeping the books current after the reset.

The problem it solves

Clear the backlog that keeps following you.

Behind books make every decision feel like a guess. Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping turns old activity into an understandable starting point for the months ahead.

  • 01QuickBooks shows months of uncategorized income, expenses, or transfers.
  • 02Bank and credit card balances do not match what the books say they should be.
  • 03You are missing receipts, vendor details, or context for payments made during a busy season.
  • 04Tax preparation, financing, or a cash-flow decision is waiting on records you do not trust yet.

What is included

A reset built around the details, not a shortcut.

We trace the records far enough back to make the current picture dependable. Where something needs your memory or a missing document, we identify it clearly and keep the questions manageable.

01

Scope the backlog

Review the QuickBooks file, accounts, and number of months involved so the work and pricing are clear up front.

02

Rebuild transaction history

Categorize and review old activity with attention to contractor expenses, payments, transfers, and income.

03

Reconcile the accounts

Bring bank and credit card records into agreement with the bookkeeping file wherever source records allow.

04

Flag what needs a decision

Separate clear bookkeeping work from items that need your answer, a document, or a tax professional’s guidance.

What you receive

A clean line between then and now.

A reviewed file

A more reliable QuickBooks record for the agreed cleanup period, with the known gaps surfaced.

Open questions

A concise list of items that cannot be responsibly guessed at, so you know exactly what to resolve.

A maintenance plan

A recommendation for the monthly bookkeeping rhythm that will keep the catch-up work from returning.

How we work together

A practical path from here to clearer books.

01

See the starting line

Share access to QuickBooks and the available bank, credit card, and supporting records.

02

Work the history

We organize the agreed months, communicate questions as they arise, and keep the project moving.

03

Close the gap

Review the result, identify any remaining decisions, and set up the next monthly step if it fits.

A few straight answers

Good to know before we talk.

How is cleanup priced?

Cleanup pricing varies based on how many months need attention and the condition of the records. Larger upfront cleanup projects may qualify for a discounted rate.

Can you clean up just one tax year?

We can scope the period that matters most for your situation. We will first look at how that period connects to the surrounding records so the result is useful, not just cosmetically complete.

What happens after the cleanup?

If ongoing support is a fit, monthly bookkeeping starts at $250/month and gives the books a consistent rhythm going forward.
