1. Explain the starting point
Share your business type, account count, approximate monthly transaction volume and last reconciled month. Keep financial documents and passwords out of the public inquiry.
QUICKBOOKS CLEANUP & CATCH-UPGet the backlog understood.
Get the backlog understood.
Then get it organized.
For small businesses with unfinished months, unexplained balances or records that need a defined cleanup plan before ongoing monthly bookkeeping.
WHAT CLEANUP CAN ADDRESS
A bank feed is a starting point, not a finished set of books.
Old unreconciled accounts, duplicates, uncategorized transactions and transfers recorded as income can make reports difficult to rely on. We identify the periods and accounts that need work before recommending a scope.
Cleanup is appropriate when the problem is historical. Recurring monthly service can follow once the starting position and remaining questions are understood.
- Review bank and card accounts, opening balances and the last reconciled month.
- Review duplicate, unmatched and uncategorized transactions against available records.
- Reconcile agreed months and investigate balance differences.
- Document unresolved items and prepare reports for owner and tax-preparer review.
START WITH FOUR DETAILS
A manageable first conversation.
2. Agree the project
We review the available records and define accounts, periods, deliverables and responsibilities. Pricing and timing follow the workload review; no commitment is implied by the consultation.
3. Review the handoff
Receive the agreed reconciliation work, reports and open questions. Discuss a separate recurring scope if you want help keeping the books current.
CLEAR BOUNDARIES
Bring the right professional into the right question.
Historical payroll, sales tax, inventory, loans or specialist accounting issues may need separate scope or your adviser. Cleanup is bookkeeping work; tax returns, tax advice, audits and assurance are outside this offering.
