SAMPLE · DEMO STORE · NOT A CLIENT
Every month brought current, line by line.
Missing months, filled in
Every month since your books stopped, rebuilt from your bank, card and marketplace statements, so there are no gaps left.
Payouts matched to sales
Amazon, Shopify and eBay payouts reconciled to orders, with fees, refunds and reserves on their own lines.
Inventory counted and costed
Opening stock, purchases and landed cost set up, so COGS and margin become real numbers, not guesses.
1099-K tied out to your sales
Your 1099-K matched to the sales in your books, with the difference explained in writing you can hand your tax preparer.
Bank and card accounts reconciled
Every account balanced to its statement, month by month.
A clean QuickBooks or Xero file
Accounts tidied, transactions categorized, and a file you can open with confidence.
One published rate per month behind.
One rate covers each month we bring current, so you can work out the cost yourself before you talk to us. Your free books review counts the months; your written quote confirms the total before any work starts.
The rate is the same one shown on our pricing page. A clean-up of an existing QuickBooks or Xero file is quoted in writing after your free books review.

Read the answer →Before you book: catch-up questions, answered.
How long does a catch-up take?
It depends on how many months you're behind and how many channels you sell on. Your written quote gives a delivery date before you commit.
What if I'm missing statements?
We request what's missing from your bank and each marketplace, and your written quote lists any gaps with how we'll handle each one.
I'm more than a year behind. Can you still help?
Yes. Every month is priced at the same published rate, so two years is simply 24 months at that rate. The table above shows the total. We work oldest first until every month is current.
Can you clean up books someone else started?
Yes. Invite us to your QuickBooks Online or Xero file as a standard user. We look at it in your free books review, keep what's right, and quote only the months that need work.
Do I have to sign up for a monthly plan afterwards?
It's your choice. Move straight onto a monthly plan and we pick up from the month we finished, or take the finished file to your tax preparer. Either way, the books are handed over clean.
Is it safe to give you access to my accounts?
Yes. We send read-only invitations and you approve each one; we never ask for a password. Banks, cards and marketplaces are read-only, so we see transactions but can't move your money; in QuickBooks Online or Xero we take a standard user seat to post entries.
