Bookkeeping Cleanup Services That Fix Your Messy Books Fast
Your books haven’t been touched in months or years, and tax season is approaching fast. Our cleanup specialists untangle the mess - recategorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, and fixing errors - so your books are clean, accurate, and tax-ready in 2-4 weeks.
Bookkeeping Cleanup
Months of neglected books cleaned up in weeks, not months
Bookkeeping cleanup is the process of bringing neglected, disorganized, or incorrectly maintained financial records to a clean, accurate, tax-ready state. This involves recategorizing misclassified transactions, reconciling bank and credit card accounts, recording missing entries, removing duplicates, correcting opening balances, and producing accurate financial statements for the periods in question. Whether your books haven’t been touched since you launched, your previous bookkeeper left things in disarray, or you’ve been dumping everything into "uncategorized expenses" in QuickBooks, our cleanup team has seen it all. We’ve cleaned up books for 300+ businesses with backlogs ranging from 3 months to 5 years. Most cleanups are completed in 2-4 weeks, and your books are handed back tax-ready with clean reconciliations and accurate financials.

What We Handle
A complete overhaul of your financial records
Transaction review & recategorization
Every transaction in the cleanup period is reviewed, categorized correctly, and coded to the proper GL account. Uncategorized expenses, mis-posted revenues, personal-vs-business mixing, and duplicate entries are all sorted out. We don’t just bulk-categorize - each transaction is reviewed for proper classification based on your industry and chart of accounts.

Bank & account reconciliation
Every bank account, credit card, loan, and payment processor is reconciled month by month through the entire cleanup period. This is where most errors hide: unrecorded deposits, duplicate entries, bank fee omissions, and timing differences. We match every transaction to your bank statements and resolve every discrepancy, leaving you with reconciled accounts and confidence in your balances.

Financial statement preparation
Once transactions are properly categorized and accounts reconciled, we prepare accurate financial statements - P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow - for each period in the cleanup window. These statements are CPA-reviewed and ready for your tax preparer to use immediately. No more paying your CPA $200/hour to fix your books before they can start your return.
