QuickBooks Cleanup & Catch-Up Services

Months behind? Books you don’t trust? It’s more common than you think — and fixable. Balance Partners rebuilds your QuickBooks file so the numbers are right, the history is reconciled, and everything that comes after is reliable.

The problems we usually see

  • Months (or years) of unrecorded or miscategorized transactions
  • Bank balances in QuickBooks that don’t match the bank
  • Duplicate accounts, misused categories, and negative balances that make no sense
  • A prior bookkeeper who left without documentation

How Balance Partners helps

We diagnose first — a structured review of your file to size the problem before quoting the fix. Then we work through it systematically: reconciling accounts, correcting categorization, cleaning the chart of accounts, and documenting what we did. You end with books a CPA has reviewed and will stand behind.

What’s included

  • Diagnostic review of your QuickBooks file
  • Historical transaction cleanup and categorization
  • Bank and credit-card reconciliations for the catch-up period
  • Chart of accounts cleanup
  • Opening balance corrections
  • A written summary of what was fixed and what to watch

What you receive

Reconciled, tax-ready books through the catch-up period, corrected financial statements, and a clear handoff into monthly service if you want it.

Businesses behind on their books, owners who inherited a messy file, and companies preparing for a loan application, tax filing or sale that requires credible numbers.

FAQs

Common questions

How long does a cleanup take?

It depends on the period and condition of the file — the diagnostic review gives you a firm timeline before you commit to anything.

Is cleanup priced separately from monthly service?

Yes. Cleanup is a defined project with its own fixed quote; monthly service starts after, if you want it.

We use a platform other than QuickBooks — can you still help?

Our cleanup work focuses on QuickBooks; other platforms are considered case by case.

What affects pricing

Scoped to your actual situation.

Length of the catch-up period, transaction volume, number of accounts, and the severity of the issues found in the diagnostic. See how our pricing works.
