Why bookkeeping cleanup matters
See where your cash went
When your books fall behind, it’s harder to see what came in, what went out, and what’s still owed. Reconciled records give you a clearer picture of your cash flow.
Get ready for tax season
Outdated books can delay tax filings and make everyday decisions harder. Catching up gives you current records for reporting, tax preparation, or a potential business sale.
Our goal is to give you reliable books and a clean starting point for your next stage of growth.
What Our Bookkeeping Cleanup Covers
We review historical bank statements, vendor bills, and customer invoices to bring past periods up to date and build a reliable starting point for ongoing bookkeeping.
Catch-up financial reports
Get a profit and loss statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement for the periods we clean up, with prior-period comparisons.
Prior-period cleanup and catch-up
We correct and categorize past transactions, resolve bookkeeping errors, and bring your records up to date. We can also maintain the books afterward.
Prior-period sales tax review
We review past GST/HST and PST filings, identify adjustments needed in the books, and get your records ready for future filings.
Adjustments and accruals
We review opening balances, deferred items, and accruals so future bookkeeping starts from the right figures.
Accounts payable and receivable cleanup
We reconcile old supplier bills and customer invoices to clarify who you owe and what customers still owe you.

I needed someone to automate my shopify with Quickbooks. Samuel was able to do this and now I only spend 1 hour per month on bookkeeping. A lot better than the hours I spent trying to figure it all out.
