Accounting and bookkeeping cleanup
Bookkeeping cleanup starts when earlier records no longer provide a reliable answer about what a business earned, spent, owned, or owed. We help owners in Charleston trace the accounting file back to statements and other source records so unsupported balances and incomplete periods can be addressed methodically.
Our team reviews the affected periods account by account, reconciles available source activity, documents questions, and makes supported corrections. The goal is not cosmetic reporting—it is a cleaner record set that can be explained, maintained, and handed to the business’s tax professional.
We can talk through your current records, what is behind, and the best next step.

How bookkeeping cleanup works
Cleanup works best when the affected periods, source records, questions, and expected outcome are visible from the start. Our workflow separates investigation from supported corrections and keeps the owner informed as unresolved items are narrowed down.
We review the file, affected periods, account list, available statements, and the reason reliable books are needed now.
Bank and credit-card activity is traced to statements while duplicates, gaps, transfers, and unusual postings are investigated.
We organize focused questions and address supported corrections to income, expenses, liabilities, loans, payroll, and owner activity.
You receive a cleaner accounting file, usable reports, and a clear transition plan for keeping the books current after cleanup.

When to get help
Who we help
We help owner-operated companies, professional and home-service businesses, consultants, agencies, and other small teams when prior accounting periods must be made supportable for tax preparation, lending, a transaction, internal reporting, or a return to normal monthly bookkeeping.
If earlier months are incomplete or unreliable, we can assess whether a one-time cleanup should come before monthly bookkeeping. If the books are already current, we can focus on maintaining a consistent close and reporting routine.

Cleanup may address unreconciled accounts, duplicated or missing transactions, uncategorized activity, incorrect balances, unclear owner transactions, and reports that do not agree with source records.
Corrected books should move into a consistent monthly process. We can discuss ongoing flat-rate bookkeeping so reconciliations, questions, and reports do not fall behind again.
