Months or years of messy books won't fix themselves. Whether you need a one-time QuickBooks cleanup or broader catch-up bookkeeping, we reconstruct and reconcile your ledgers for review by you and your tax professional.
We review your current state — how far behind, what's missing, and what needs fixing.
Hashbooks works through each available period, categorizing transactions and reconciling accounts against source records.
Once caught up, we transition you to ongoing monthly bookkeeping so you never fall behind again.
Scope and deliverables
An empty ledger and an inaccurate ledger need different work. We identify the last reliable close, compare the records available, and separate missing activity from errors before agreeing a cleanup plan.
When several months have not been recorded, we establish the opening position and work forward through complete statement periods. Missing statements, receipts, payroll reports, or processor details are requested early so that gaps do not appear at the final handoff.
When the transactions exist but the balances are wrong, we investigate the cause before editing. Common review areas include duplicate imports, incorrect account mapping, altered reconciled entries, transfers recorded as expenses, and unsupported opening balances.
The handoff identifies periods completed, reconciliations, corrected financial reports, a summary of material changes, supporting schedules, and unresolved questions. Completion means the agreed records have been reconciled and limitations documented; it is not an audit opinion or a promise that every missing receipt can be reconstructed.
Timing depends on how far behind the books are, how many accounts and systems are involved, and whether complete evidence is available. We propose a sequence and milestones after the assessment. Records affected by filed returns or locked periods are referred to the accountant before adjustments are made.
A useful cleanup also identifies the workflow that caused the issue. This might mean adjusting a bank rule, documenting a processor-clearing bridge, setting a monthly statement deadline, or adding an approval step. Ongoing bookkeeping can start once the opening position is agreed.
Multi-year catch-up work may be possible when sufficient bank statements and source documents are available. Hashbooks reviews the period, systems, and missing records before confirming scope or timing.
It depends on the volume and complexity. A few months of catch-up typically takes 1-2 weeks. Multiple years may take 4-8 weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline upfront.
We prepare reconciled, well-documented records for professional review. Your CPA or tax professional remains responsible for tax treatment and filing decisions.
