QuickBooks cleanup

QuickBooks Cleanup for Indianapolis Businesses

If your QuickBooks numbers no longer add up, we find what is wrong, fix it and give your CPA a file they can actually work in.

  • Opening balance equity traced back and cleared
  • One named bookkeeper on the file from start to finish
  • Your CPA gets a file they can pick up without a redo

Distribution files break at the point where items meet accounts. An item pointing at the wrong income or cost account misreports every transaction it touches, silently, for as long as it takes someone to question a margin that never looked quite right.

What's included

What our service covers in Indianapolis

Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.

Credit card and processor matching

Stripe, Square and PayPal deposits arrive net of fees. We match the payouts to the underlying sales and book the fees where they belong.

Prior-period close and lock

Once a period is correct we close and lock it, so a stray entry cannot quietly reopen a year you already reported on.

File diagnostic

We review the file account by account and give you a written, ranked list of what is actually wrong before touching anything.

Chart of accounts repair

We merge duplicate accounts and restructure the chart, then remap history so your prior-year comparisons still work.

Class and location tagging repair

If you track departments, sites or funds, we repair the tagging so segment reports stop disagreeing with the totals.

How it runs

What happens after you get in touch

Only the first step needs anything from you.

1

Free diagnostic call

We get read-only access to your file, review it and come back with a written list of what is wrong and what it takes to fix. The findings are yours either way.

2

One fixed quote

A single project fee for the agreed scope, set before work starts. If we find something substantial, we come back to you rather than adding to the invoice.

3

We repair and hand back

Corrections are made in order of impact, each documented as we go. You get the repaired file, the change log and a short walkthrough of what changed and why.

Good fit

This is a good fit if…

  • Your bank reconciliations have not matched in months
  • Two people entered transactions using different conventions
  • You are behind on sales tax because the figures look wrong
  • Opening balance equity holds a number nobody can explain

Item mapping decides the numbers

Every inventory item carries a mapping to an income account, a cost account and an asset account. Get one wrong and every sale of that item distorts the accounts in a way no reconciliation will catch, because the file balances perfectly.

We audit the mapping item by item and correct it, then restate the affected history rather than fixing only from today.

Negative quantities are the companion issue in these files, forcing the software to estimate costs and pushing the error forward into every later period.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.

Yes. Each file gets its own diagnostic and its own fixed quote, since they are rarely broken in the same way. If they share a chart of accounts we will keep the structure consistent across them.
