Bookkeeping Cleanup
“My books are a mess and I need them clean to bring on an investor, how do I get there?”
When books need to be cleaned up before bringing on an investor, the main considerations often include how complete the transaction records are, whether bank and credit card activity has been reconciled, and how consistently revenue, expenses, and owner activity have been categorized. Investor due diligence also tends to focus on whether prior periods can be supported with source documents and whether any gaps or unusual entries need to be explained. The right cleanup approach depends on the volume of missing records, the entity structure, and how far back the review needs to go. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
