The balance sheet doesn't look right, and you're not sure how far back the problem goes.
Months of unreconciled accounts, a QuickBooks file that's been "fixed" three times, a balance sheet with numbers nobody can explain. Everything downstream, the tax return, the bank package, every decision, is built on it.
What's usually going on
Diagnosis, not blame. These are the causes we find most often.
— Turnover in the bookkeeping seat.
— A system migration that carried over errors.
— Loans, credit cards or payroll recorded inconsistently.
— Years of "we'll clean it up at tax time."
— A chart of accounts that lets the same expense land in four places.
What we'd look at first
Written for the person who'll check whether we know what we're talking about.
01
Every balance sheet account, reconciled to a statement or a schedule.
02
Loan balances against lender statements.
03
Payroll liabilities against filings.
04
Undeposited funds, suspense and "ask my accountant" accounts.
05
The oldest month where the books were last trustworthy, which is where the cleanup starts.
What changes
What you get
A clean, reconciled set of books with a written summary of what was wrong and what was done, delivered as a fixed-fee project.
What improves
A starting point the business can trust.
What you can now decide
File, borrow and decide on real numbers, and choose whether to have us keep them that way.
Where to go from here
Tell us what's going on. We'll tell you what we see
One conversation with Chris, no deck. He'll tell you what he sees and what it would take to fix it, including if the answer is that you don't need a CFO yet.
