Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping
Months behind, or books that don't make sense anymore? I get them current and reconciled, then keep them that way if you want.
Signs your books need a cleanup
- Bank balances in QuickBooks that don't match your statements
- An "uncategorized" balance that keeps growing
- Duplicate transactions from bank feeds
- HST balances that don't match what was filed
- A previous bookkeeper left and nobody is sure what was done
How a cleanup works
I review the file
With read-only access and your bank statements, I tell you what I found and what it will take to fix.
I fix the current year first
Every account reconciled, uncategorized items cleared, coding corrected.
You get a clean file
Along with a short summary of what changed, ready for you and your accountant.
Behind on HST because the books are behind?
That's common. Once the books are reconciled, I can prepare the GST/HST returns that are outstanding.
