Behind on your books? Let’s get you current.
Fixed-quote cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping for Orange County businesses — reconciled, corrected, and current.
Months behind, a year behind, or you never really got started — cleanup starts the same way either way. Every account gets reconciled, every transaction gets categorized correctly, and you end up current. Then, if you want, monthly bookkeeping picks up from there.
What cleanup actually involves
- Every bank, card, and loan account reconciled, however far back it needs to go
- Duplicate entries and miscategorized transactions found and fixed
- Chart of accounts rebuilt properly — full setup is included, never billed separately
- For rental owners: historical CapEx separated from repairs, property by property
- A clean handoff, so your CPA isn't reconstructing your year at tax time
No judgment. I’ve seen worse than yours.
Fixed quote, not an hourly guess
Cleanup is priced after a free consult, once I've actually seen the state of your books — not an hourly rate that punishes you for how messy things got. Most cleanups take 2 to 4 weeks. Setup is included in that quote, so you're never charged for it twice if you move into monthly bookkeeping afterward.
Why Orange County businesses end up behind
Most of it isn't dramatic. A contractor in Anaheim who's been doing QuickBooks himself between jobs. A Santa Ana retail shop whose bookkeeper stopped responding six months ago. A Garden Grove service business that's been meaning to get to it since the LLC was formed. The common thread is that the longer it sits, the bigger the job feels — when in practice, most cleanups are more mechanical than people expect once someone actually starts.
After you're current
Cleanup is a one-time project, not a subscription. Some clients stop there. Most move into monthly bookkeeping afterward, since the hard part — getting current — is already done, and staying current every month by the 15th is a much smaller lift than the catch-up was.
Facing an actual deadline — a lender, an IRS notice, a bookkeeper who disappeared? See emergency bookkeeping services for how rush requests are handled.
