Forensic CPA CFE | Fixing Messy Books, Tax Prep & Complex Accounting

Messy books. Missed tax filings. Financial records that do not make sense. This is where I help. I am a Certified Public Accountant and Certified Fraud Examiner with more than 25 years of experience helping business owners clean up accounting records, resolve tax issues, and get their financial systems working the way they should. Many of my clients come to me when their books are behind, transactions have not been reconciled, or their accountant cannot prepare the tax return because the financials are unreliable. I step in, fix the underlying problems, and put a structure in place so the numbers stay accurate going forward. What I do best: - QuickBooks Online setup, cleanup, and ongoing maintenance - Catch-up bookkeeping and historical cleanup - Reconciliation of bank, credit card, and loan accounts - Year-end preparation so your tax preparer has clean, reliable financials - Back-tax bookkeeping and filings for prior years - Monthly bookkeeping with clear financial reporting I also work with businesses that operate across multiple states or have foreign ownership of U.S. entities and need guidance on proper tax and reporting compliance. Why clients hire me: - CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner - 25+ years of accounting and tax experience - I solve complicated financial problems quickly and clearly - Straightforward communication and practical guidance If your books are messy, your tax situation is unclear, or you simply want your financials to finally make sense, I can help you get organized and move forward with confidence. Letโ€™s talk about your situation and create a clear plan.
