Clean Up Accounting

Fix messy books, reconcile everything, get financials you can actually trust.

When You Need This

  • • Books haven't been reconciled in months (or years)
  • • Previous accountant left things undocumented
  • • Preparing for audit, sale, or funding and books aren't ready
  • • Numbers don't match bank statements
  • • You're not sure if the financials are even correct
  • • Errors are piling up and nobody's fixing them

What We Do

  1. 1. Figure Out What's Broken - Review your current books, identify what needs fixing, determine how far back to go.
  2. 2. Reconcile Everything - All bank accounts, credit cards, loans, AR, AP, inventory. Every account from the last clean period forward.
  3. 3. Fix the Errors - Correct duplicates, miscategorizations, missing transactions, revenue timing issues. Document all changes.
  4. 4. Restate Financials - Provide corrected P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statements with clean supporting documentation.
  5. 5. Set Up Ongoing Process - Monthly close checklist, reconciliation procedures, documentation requirements so it stays clean.

How Engagements Work

Every situation is different. We begin by understanding what's broken, what's urgent, and what matters most.

Scope depends on: how far back to clean up, transaction volume and complexity, number of entities and accounts, condition of existing records, timeline and urgency.

Engagements are tailored based on complexity - not templated packages. Next step: Initial review to scope the work properly.

What You Get

  • • Clean, reconciled books from [start date] through [current month]
  • • Corrected financial statements
  • • Documentation for all adjustments
  • • Process to keep it clean going forward

Real Example

E-commerce company, $3M revenue - 18 months unreconciled. Preparing for sale but financials were a mess.

What we did: Reconciled 5,000+ transactions across multiple sales channels. Fixed revenue recognition. Rebuilt expense records. Delivered clean 2-year history in 6 weeks.

Result: Passed buyer due diligence cleanly. Sale closed at full valuation.

Common Questions

Q: How long does it take?
A: Depends how messy. Few months of cleanup = 3-4 weeks. Years of mess = 8-12 weeks.

Q: What if we're missing documentation?
A: We work with what's available. Bank statements can recreate most. We document assumptions clearly.

Q: Will this trigger an audit?
A: No. Cleanup doesn't trigger audits. Actually reduces audit risk.
