Signs you need a cleanup
- You haven’t looked at your books in months, or you never set them up.
- Business and personal spending are mixed on the same accounts.
- Your bookkeeping software shows hundreds of transactions “for review.”
- Your account balances in the books don’t match your bank statements.
- Tax season is coming and you can’t say what you earned or spent.
What’s included
- Past transactions categorized using categories that line up with your tax return.
- Every bank and card account reconciled to its statements, month by month.
- Personal and business spending separated, with owner draws and contributions recorded properly.
- A list of open questions for anything only you can answer, so nothing is guessed.
- Clean reports at the end: profit and loss and balance sheet for the period we cleaned up.
How pricing works
Cleanups run from $500 to $1,500, priced by how many transactions and months need work. On a free 20-minute call we look at your accounts, agree a fixed price and a delivery date, and only then start.
After the cleanup
Most owners don’t want to end up here again. Once you’re caught up, you can move straight into Monthly Books for $500 a month, so your books stay closed every month and tax time is just a return.
Questions
- How far back can you go?
- Usually the current tax year and, if needed, the year before. Tell us on the call how far behind you are and we’ll say what makes sense.
- I don’t have all my receipts. Is that a problem?
- Not for the cleanup itself: we work from your bank and card statements. We’ll flag which expenses you should find records for.
- Is a real person involved?
- Yes. AI does the first pass on the transactions. A person reviews and signs off on every account.
