Reconciliation and cleanup
Books that won't reconcile
The bank says one number and QuickBooks says another, and nobody remembers why. We find the reason and fix it at the source, instead of hiding the difference in a plug entry.
Common causes
Duplicate imports, transactions entered by hand and then again by the bank feed, edited or deleted transactions in a closed period, opening balances that were wrong from the start, and deposits never matched to the invoices they paid.
How we untangle it
We work back to the last period that did reconcile, then forward month by month. Each difference is traced to a cause and corrected. Uncategorized and 'ask my accountant' balances get properly sorted.
We keep a record of what we changed, so your tax professional can see it.
Other messes we see
Personal spending running through the business, clearing accounts that never reach zero, sales tax or payroll liabilities that don't match the filings, and loan payments booked as expenses.
QuickBooks and other tools
We're a QuickBooks ProAdvisor and can also work with other common bookkeeping software.

FAQ
Common questions
Can you fix it without starting over?
Often yes. Sometimes rebuilding a period is faster than repairing it. We'll say which after reviewing.
Will you change numbers I've already filed?
We tell you what we find. Any amended filing is a decision for you and your tax professional.
Do I need to give you my login?
Accountant or read-only access is usually enough, and we can work from exports.
