Fortune 500-level expertise Year-round tax strategy Built for contractors & trades Real human support

No judgment. Just a plan.

Running a trade business is a full-time job before you ever open QuickBooks. It's common for contractors to fall months or years behind — and the longer it goes, the harder it is to start. Meanwhile the IRS penalties, missed deductions and lender questions keep piling up.

Our cleanup service starts with a clear assessment of where things stand, then works through it methodically: gather statements, rebuild and reconcile the books, correct the chart of accounts, separate personal and business spending, and file anything that's past due.

Common situations we fix

  • Books that haven't been reconciled in months — or ever
  • Personal and business expenses mixed in the same accounts
  • Unfiled business or personal tax returns
  • Missing 1099s for subcontractors or late payroll filings
  • Loans, trucks and equipment recorded incorrectly
  • A QuickBooks file nobody trusts
Pricing note: Catch-up work is quoted as a one-time project based on how far behind you are. After that, we keep your books current with monthly bookkeeping.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How far behind is too far behind?

There's no such thing. We've rebuilt books that were years behind. It just takes a bit more time to gather statements.

How much does a bookkeeping cleanup cost?

Cleanup is a one-time project priced by how many months need work, how many accounts you have and their transaction volume. We'll give you a quote after a free assessment.

I haven't filed taxes in a couple of years. What happens now?

The first step is getting the books accurate so the returns can be prepared correctly. We'll help you prioritize filings and, if there's a balance due, work through payment options with the IRS and state.

Do I need my receipts?

Bank and credit card statements are the foundation. Receipts help support deductions, but missing receipts don't stop us from getting your books current.
