Bookkeeping Cleanup
“I need help cleaning up my books before I file my taxes, what do I do?”
Bookkeeping cleanup before tax filing often starts with comparing bank and credit card activity to the records, then looking for missing income, duplicate entries, and expenses that may be miscategorized. The right approach can depend on whether the books are for a sole proprietorship, partnership, or corporation, and on how much source documentation is available for the year. It also often helps to review payroll records, loan activity, and any owner draws or contributions so the tax return reflects the business activity more accurately. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
