Services.
I focus on specific problems: a backlog that's gotten out of hand, accounts that won't reconcile, a P&L that doesn't match reality. I also provide ongoing monthly bookkeeping once the books are clean.
Forensic Cleanup & Catch-Up
For businesses that are months or years behind, or whose books show numbers that don't add up.
What this covers
- Auditing your QuickBooks file: checking that balance sheet balances are correct and transactions are categorized properly
- Tracing and correcting miscategorized income and expense transactions
- Reconciling bank accounts, credit cards, and loans against statements
- Clearing undeposited funds and uncleared bank items
- Fixing incorrect opening balances and prior-period errors
- Removing duplicate transactions and stale journal entries
- Correcting chart-of-accounts structure where it's causing misreporting
- Restoring an accurate P&L and balance sheet
I diagnose the full scope before quoting. Two years of cleanup takes very different work from eight, and even similar transaction volumes vary widely in complexity. Expect a written scope and quote after I review your file, not before.
Any industry. I've worked with e-commerce, healthcare, breweries, home services, construction, property flipping, and luxury retail.
Complex Reconciliations & Job Costing
Reconciliations that cover years of history, and project-level expense tracking so you know what each job actually costs.
Multi-year reconciliations
- Bank account reconciliation going back years, not just the last statement
- Credit card and loan account reconciliation
- Merchant processor reconciliations (Stripe, Square, PayPal)
- Identifying and resolving discrepancies between ledger and statements
Project & job costing
- Allocating expense transactions to project or job codes
- Setting up class or project tracking in QuickBooks Online
- Building job-level P&L reports
- Reviewing 2,000+ expense entries and assigning correct codes
I've reconciled 35+ cumulative years of bank and credit card history across client files. I've also categorized and project-coded more than 40,000 transactions across multiple engagements. Details are in the Results section.
Subcontracting for Accounting Firms
Take on more cleanup engagements without adding staff. I work quietly behind the scenes while your client relationship stays yours.
How it works
- You bring the client. I do the cleanup work under your direction.
- Deliverables are formatted to your standards and ready to hand to the client as your own work product
- Communication is with you, not directly with your client unless you arrange otherwise
- NDAs and subcontractor agreements are standard
- Fixed-scope engagements only, no open-ended retainers
Firms that have backlogged cleanup work but limited staff capacity. Solo practitioners who take on more than they can deliver alone. Any practice that bills cleanup work but would rather not do it in-house.
Send me an outline of the engagement (size of backlog, industry, approximate transaction volume) and we can discuss fit and timeline.
