Description

First, the part nobody says out loud: being behind isn’t a character flaw. It’s the most common thing we see, it happens to good business owners with real revenue, and it usually stays unfixed out of embarrassment or lack of time rather than difficulty. We’ve seen worse than yours.

This is for you if:

  • You have months or years of unreconciled transactions
  • Your file shows a bank balance that doesn’t match your actual bank balance
  • Uncategorized Expense is one of your largest accounts
  • Your CPA asked for something and you’ve been avoiding the email
  • You’re about to apply for a loan, bring on a partner, or sell

What we do:

  • Reconcile every account, month by month, back to the last known-good point
  • Clean up duplicate, miscategorized, and orphaned transactions
  • Rebuild or repair your chart of accounts so it stops causing the same problem
  • Match payment platform deposits to actual sales, net of fees — where most DIY books break
  • Deliver corrected financial statements for every period cleaned
  • Hand you a written summary of what was wrong, what we fixed, and what to do differently

How it works: Free 30-minute call, then a diagnostic review to scope the real extent of the work, then a flat price in writing. When it’s done, you can take it from there or move to monthly bookkeeping so it doesn’t happen again.

Services are provided off-platform under a written engagement letter.

Shipping Policy

All services are delivered remotely — there is nothing to ship.

Onboarding: Once a signed engagement letter is in place and we have secure access to your accounts, onboarding is complete within 5 business days.

Monthly bookkeeping: Your reconciled financial statements are delivered by the 15th of the following month, provided all statements and documentation are received by the 5th.

Catch-up and cleanup work: Timeline is scoped and agreed in writing before work begins, and depends on the number of months, accounts, and platforms involved. Typical range is 2–6 weeks.

All files and financial statements are delivered securely. We do not transmit financial documents or account credentials by unencrypted email.

Refund Policy

No engagement begins with a guess. Every client starts with a free 30-minute call, followed by a diagnostic review of the current state of your books. Only then do we issue a flat price in writing — so you know the scope, the cost, and the timeline before any money changes hands.

Monthly services: Billed in advance. Cancellable with 30 days' written notice. Any unused prepaid months are refunded in full.

Fixed-scope projects (catch-up, cleanup, QuickBooks Online setup, year-end and 1099 prep): A deposit is required to begin. If work has not started, the deposit is fully refundable. Once work is underway, refunds are prorated to work not yet performed.

Diagnostic review: If the diagnostic reveals the work isn't a fit for us, we'll tell you and you'll owe nothing.

Cancellation / Return / Exchange Policy

Cancellation/Return/Exchange Policy

Because these are professional services, there is nothing to return or exchange. Here's how ending an engagement works.

Cancelling monthly services: Cancel at any time with 30 days' written. We'll complete the month in progress, deliver your final reconciled financial statements, export and hand over your complete accounting file, and transfer administrative access back to you. Your data is yours — always, and without conditions.

Rescheduling: Calls and scheduled sessions can be rescheduled at no charge with 24 hours' notice.

Our right to end an engagement: We reserve the right to end an engagement if we are unable to obtain the records or access required to maintain accurate books, or if we are asked to record transactions we believe to be inaccurate. In that event we'll provide 30 days' notice and a complete handover.
