Bookkeeping Cleanup
“What do I do if my books are completely disorganized?”
Completely disorganized books often call for a cleanup process that starts with identifying the main records, bank and credit card statements, invoices, payroll reports, and prior tax filings. The right approach usually depends on how far back the records go, whether there are missing transactions, and whether the business uses cash or accrual accounting. In many cases, the goal is to rebuild a reliable starting point, separate personal and business activity, and make sure income, expenses, and balances line up with supporting documents. The level of cleanup needed can also depend on whether the records are for tax filing, lender reporting, or ongoing bookkeeping. A short conversation with a CPA can sort out what applies to your specific numbers.
