Answering Your Questions About Clean-up
The road to financial clarity starts with understanding the process. We’ve compiled common questions businesses ask when looking to tidy up years of backlogged books and disorganized data.
How far back can you clean up?
We can reconcile books from one year ago or a full decade. Regardless of how long it’s been since your last reconciliation, we have the expertise to bring your financial history into sharp focus.
What documents are required from me?
We typically need access to bank and credit card statements, prior-year tax returns, and any existing bookkeeping software files. We guide you through a secure process to share these safely.
What is the typical project timeline?
Timing depends on the volume of work. A standard historical clean-up project usually takes between 3 to 6 weeks from the moment we receive all your accounting records.
What is delivered at the end?
You receive a perfectly reconciled set of books, classified transactions, and professional financial reports (Balance Sheet and P&L) that your tax professional or CPA will be able to use immediately.
