QuickBooks cleanup & catch-up.

Behind on the books? Nothing reconciles? We bring disorganized or outdated QuickBooks files back to a clean, reliable, audit-ready state — then hand you a file you can actually trust.

From a mess to audit-ready.

Most QuickBooks files don’t break all at once — they drift. Misclassified transactions, unreconciled accounts, a bloated chart of accounts, and months of backlog pile up until the reports stop making sense. As Certified Advanced ProAdvisors, this is core work for us.

Cleanup is quoted separately as a one-time fee. Once your file is clean, we can keep it that way with ongoing monthly bookkeeping — or simply hand it back, reconciled and reliable.

What cleanup covers.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Months — or years — of backlog brought current, transaction by transaction, until you’re caught up.

Account Reconciliation

Every bank, credit card, and loan account reconciled so your QuickBooks balances match reality.

Chart of Accounts Rebuild

A bloated or inconsistent chart of accounts restructured into something clean and reportable.

Reclassification

Miscoded transactions found and corrected so your P&L and Balance Sheet finally make sense.

Opening Balance Fixes

Broken or incorrect opening balances traced and corrected back to a reliable starting point.

Audit-Ready Handoff

A reconciled, documented file ready for your CPA, a lender, or a clean monthly close going forward.

Let’s fix your QuickBooks file.

A 20-minute call. Show us the file. We’ll tell you what’s wrong, what it takes to fix it, and give you a one-time cleanup quote.

Frequently asked.

How much does a QuickBooks cleanup cost?

Cleanup is quoted as a one-time fee based on how far behind the file is, how many accounts and transactions are involved, and how much reclassification is needed. We give you the quote up front, before any work starts.

How far behind can you catch up?

As far as needed. We regularly bring files current that are many months — sometimes years — behind, whether in QuickBooks Online or Desktop.

What happens after the cleanup?

You get a reconciled, audit-ready file. From there you can keep it clean with our ongoing QuickBooks bookkeeping, or take it back and run it yourself.

Can you fix a file someone else set up?

Yes. A large share of our cleanup work is on files originally set up by another bookkeeper, a previous owner, or the business owner. We diagnose it and correct it.

Verified 5-star reviews from our Intuit ProAdvisor profile.

“They untangled a lot of old messes in our data, cleaned up how everything was set up, and made the whole close process way less painful than it used to be. The biggest win for us is that our numbers actually make sense now — we can see what’s going on with cash, the reports are easier to read, and a lot of the little manual stuff we used to deal with just isn’t an issue anymore. They’re easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and they tend to spot problems before we even realize something’s off.”

“We’ve been running a small e-commerce store for a few years now, and working with Heather has honestly been a huge relief. She keeps our numbers clean and always catches issues before they turn into bigger problems. Her attention to detail has saved us more than once.”
