QuickBooks cleanup

Sort Out Your QuickBooks File in Los Angeles, California

Your QuickBooks file should tell you what the business actually did last month. If it does not, we find out why, fix it in order of impact and document every change.

  • A fixed project fee — no hourly meter
  • Chart of accounts repaired without losing history
  • Undeposited funds and suspense accounts cleared

Files kept by single-member companies and production freelancers tend to have two problems at once. Personal spending recorded alongside business activity, and a customer list holding the same production company under four different spellings. Neither is unusual on its own, and together they make every report unreliable in a way that is genuinely hard to see from inside the file.

What's included

What our service covers in Los Angeles

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

Documentation handover

You get the change log, a note of every decision that needed judgement, and the open questions we could not answer without you.

Payroll clearing cleanup

Payroll wired in through an integration often leaves a clearing account that never zeroes. We trace what is stuck in it and clear it against the real runs.

Journal entry audit

Every manual adjustment in the period is traced back to what it was meant to do; anything unsupported is listed for your CPA.

Reconciliation catch-up

Each bank, card and processor account is reconciled to its statement so the file agrees with the real world.

Duplicate removal

Charges entered twice, feed reconnections that pulled history again, payments booked against the wrong invoice — all found and corrected.

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…

  • You are behind on sales tax because the figures look wrong
  • The same expense lands in a different account depending on who entered it
  • Your CPA has said the file needs work before they can use it
  • The chart of accounts has grown to hundreds of unused lines

Names, duplicates and personal spending

A fragmented customer list means income from one relationship appears as four small ones, which hides the fact that a single payer is most of the year's revenue.

We consolidate the list first, because most other reporting depends on it, then work through personal transactions, reclassifying them rather than deleting anything. Deletions leave holes that will not reconcile later.

Where a loan-out company and personal activity have run through one file, we establish a clean separation point rather than attempting to unpick every historical entry, which usually costs more than it returns.

FAQ

Questions about this service

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

We take read-only access to your file and review it account by account — reconciliations, undeposited funds, the chart of accounts, open receivables and payables, and any manual journals. You get a written, ranked list of what is wrong and what it would take to fix. The findings are yours whether or not you go ahead.
