Bookkeeping that makes sense

Signs your books need a cleanup

Accounts have not been reconciled

Bank and credit card accounts have gone months without a reconciliation.

Transactions are uncategorized

Activity is sitting in uncategorized or catch-all accounts instead of where it belongs.

The reports do not match reality

Your profit and loss does not line up with what you see in the bank.

Tax time is coming

Your tax professional needs organized records, and yours are not there yet.

You are ready to hand it off

You have been doing your own books and want someone else to take over.

What a cleanup involves

1. Review

We look at your current QuickBooks Online file and accounts, see what is missing, and explain what needs to be done.

2. Scope and price

Cleanup and catch-up projects are quoted separately from monthly service. You know the scope and cost before work begins.

3. Catch-up

We categorize transactions, reconcile accounts month by month, and correct common issues.

4. Move to monthly

Once your books are current, we can keep them that way with ongoing monthly bookkeeping.

Common questions

Can you work in my existing QuickBooks Online file?

Yes. We review your existing setup and records first, then talk through what is needed.

Do you prepare tax returns?

No. We focus on bookkeeping and organized records. Clean books can make tax preparation easier, but tax returns and tax advice should come from your qualified tax professional.

Do I need to be in Temecula?

No. We are based in Temecula and work remotely with small businesses nationwide. See our service areas.
