QuickBooks cleanup

QuickBooks File Repair in San Francisco, CA

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.

  • Bank, card and processor accounts reconciled to statement
  • One named bookkeeper on the file from start to finish
  • Work sequenced by impact, not by what is easiest

Cleanups here are often driven by a coming raise or an acquisition, which changes the objective. The file does not merely need to be correct. It needs to be legible to someone who will read it sceptically and ask why a number changed between two quarters.

What's included

What our service covers in San Francisco

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

File diagnostic

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

Sales tax liability review

We check what the file says you owe against what was actually collected and filed, and flag the gaps for your CPA. We do not prepare or file the returns.

Class and location tagging repair

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

Reconciliation catch-up

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

Owner draw and contribution split

Personal spending mixed into business accounts is separated out into draws and contributions so the profit figure means something.

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 CPA has said the file needs work before they can use it
  • You changed bookkeepers and the handover was incomplete
  • You are preparing for a loan application, a sale or due diligence
  • You are behind on sales tax because the figures look wrong

Cleaning for an outside reader

The items that attract attention are usually opening balance equity carrying an unexplained figure, reclassifications applied to some periods and not others, and accounts whose meaning changed partway through the year.

We resolve those and record what was changed and why, so the cleanup is documented rather than merely done. An undocumented restatement raises the question it was meant to settle.

We also make the treatment consistent across the whole file rather than from the cleanup date forward, because inconsistency between periods is the first thing a reviewer tests.

FAQ

Questions about this service

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

Every correction is documented with its reason, so the conversation is about evidence rather than opinion. We are happy to walk a previous bookkeeper or your CPA through the log.
