Messy Books Other Bookkeepers Won't Touch? Send Them My Way.

Years behind? Missing receipts? Accounts nobody's touched since 2023? Good. That's my favorite kind of project. Other bookkeepers took one look at your books and stopped replying. I'm the bookkeeper who gets excited about messy books. Cleanup and catch-up work is my specialty, and once your books are clean, I keep them that way. HERE'S WHAT I ACTUALLY DO: I specialize in messy projects—the ones that make other bookkeepers politely decline or quote you $4,000. Once your books are clean, I keep them that way with monthly bookkeeping. My recent rental car business cleanup taught me that most "impossible" bookkeeping situations just need someone willing to dig in and care about getting it right. I separated two years of tangled personal and business expenses, reconciled accounts that hadn't been touched since 2022, cleaned up receivables and payables, and delivered financials the owner could actually understand and use. That's the kind of work I'm here for. HOW I WORK: Cleanup & Catch-Up: 1. Free 15-minute call to talk through where your books stand 2. I review your books and send you a fixed-price quote, so you know the total up front 3. You send your statements using my simple document checklist 4. I categorize every transaction, reconcile every account, and fix duplicates and errors 5. You get one organized list of questions (not a dozen scattered messages) 6. I deliver your clean Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet with a plain-English walk-through of what I found and fixed Monthly Bookkeeping: 1. Onboarding: we set up access and bank feeds, and I build your monthly close checklist 2. Every month I follow the same close process: categorize, reconcile, and review, so nothing gets missed 3. You get a monthly status update with your key numbers and anything I need from you 4. A short video walks you through your Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet in plain English 5. Monthly review calls available to talk through your numbers 6. At year-end, your books are tax-ready, and I'll work directly with your CPA or tax preparer Consultations 1. Book a consultation through my profile 2. Tell me ahead of time what you need help with: a QuickBooks problem, a setup question, or a "where do I even start?" situation 3. We meet by video, and I'll fix it with you, walk you through it, or map out a plan 4. You get a short written recap of what we covered and your next steps MY BACKGROUND: Master's Degree in Accounting QuickBooks Online Certified ProAdvisor Intuit Academy Tax Level 1 Certified Specialized in bookkeeping cleanup and catch-up projects I have the formal education to understand complex accounting principles and the practical experience to apply them to real-world messes. That combination means I can handle sophisticated scenarios while still explaining everything in plain English. SERVICES I OFFER: ✅ Bookkeeping catch-up and cleanup (my specialty) ✅ Bank and credit card reconciliation (including the scary ones) ✅ Accounts payable and receivable organization ✅ Monthly bookkeeping (once we get you current) ✅ Year-end tax-ready and CPA-ready books ✅ QuickBooks setup ✅ QuickBooks to Zoho Books migrations ✅ Financial statement analysis ✅ Transaction categorization and cleanup ✅ QuickBooks consultations and training WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ✓ Clear communication (I explain things in normal human language, not accounting jargon) ✓ Realistic timelines (I'd rather under-promise and over-deliver) ✓ Organized process (you'll know exactly what I'm doing and why) ✓ Questions when I need clarity (I'd rather ask than guess) ✓ Clean books you can actually use for decision-making WHY CLIENTS HIRE ME I treat your books like they matter, because they do. I'm detail-oriented and genuinely enjoy solving the puzzles that come with messy financials. Your disaster cleanup is my dream project. TOOLS I USE Primary: QuickBooks Online (I'm certified) Also: Zoho Books and Excel If you're using something else, I'm probably willing to learn it; especially for a good cleanup project. LET'S FIX YOUR BOOKS If you're still reading this, your books are probably in rougher shape than you'd like to admit. That's okay, that's literally why I'm here. Send me a message describing what's going on. Even if you're not sure you want to hire anyone yet, I'm happy to give you a free 15-minute call to talk through your options. Sometimes just knowing there's a path forward is half the battle. Let's get your financials sorted so you can get back to actually running your business.
