Bookkeeping Cleanup
“How do I get my financial books cleaned up so I can sell my business?”
Preparing books for a business sale often starts with making sure the records are complete, organized, and consistent across accounts, bank statements, payroll, and tax filings. The real cleanup process can depend on how far back the gaps go, whether there are missing transactions, and how closely the books need to match the tax returns and any buyer due diligence requests. For many owners, the focus also includes separating personal and business activity, resolving unreconciled balances, and documenting unusual items so the financial picture is easier to review and trust. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
