When the numbers do not reconcile, the real issue is usually deeper than the ledger. I help businesses and accountancy practices identify accounting errors, unexplained balances, reporting gaps, tax risks and financial issues before they become larger problems. I am a Chartered Accountant (India), ACA/CPA (Ireland), Certified Professional Forensic Accountant, ICB UK Practice Licence Holder and HMRC Registered Tax Agent, with 10+ years of experience across accounting, taxation, financial review, forensic work and advisory. My work is focused on review, analysis and problem-solving, not simply processing transactions. I can assist with: * Accounting Review & Cleanup — balance-sheet reviews, reconciliations, historical cleanup, correcting mispostings and resolving unexplained balances * Forensic Accounting — transaction tracing, financial investigations, fraud indicators, disputed balances and financial evidence analysis * UK Accounts & Tax — year-end accounts review, Corporation Tax, CT600, VAT and pre-submission review * US Accounting & Tax — QuickBooks review and tax support for 1120S, 1120 and 1065 filings * Virtual CFO & Financial Analysis — management accounts, cash-flow forecasting, budgeting, KPI analysis and financial decision support * White-Label Support for Accountancy Practices — confidential accounting, tax, review and technical support within your existing systems and workflows IFRS | UK GAAP | US GAAP QuickBooks Online | Xero | Sage | FreeAgent | Zoho Books I add the most value where: * the books are complete but balances still do not reconcile * accounts require an independent review before filing * previous accounting work contains errors or unexplained balances * profit looks healthy but cash flow tells a different story * transactions require investigation rather than routine processing * an accountancy practice requires experienced review or overflow support For accountancy practices, I work confidentially behind the firm, following existing procedures and systems while ensuring the client relationship remains entirely with the practice. Good accounting records what happened. Strong financial review explains why it happened, where the risk sits and what should happen next. If you need someone to review the numbers, identify the underlying issue and provide a clear route to correction, I can assist.
