Books That Do Not Reconcile
Bank balances do not match. Loans are wrong. Payroll liabilities stay open. Owner activity is misclassified.
Washington Bookkeeping + Crypto Tax
Bookkeeping, cleanup, payroll, and crypto tax support for Washington businesses and investors whose records need more than a quick software fix.
Virtual firm based in Aberdeen and serving clients across Washington.
The Report Is Not the Evidence
QuickBooks can produce a profit and loss statement while the balance sheet is wrong. Crypto software can produce a tax report while wallets are missing. The records underneath determine whether the output can be trusted.
Bank balances do not match. Loans are wrong. Payroll liabilities stay open. Owner activity is misclassified.
Transactions were categorized inconsistently. Beginning balances are unreliable. Historical records are missing.
Wallets are missing. Transfers look taxable. DeFi, bridges, and migrations broke the import.
Payroll and owner activity were added without a structure that kept the balance sheet clean.
Messy books are normal here. We fix them.
Services
Select a service to see the problems we handle and the work we deliver.
Bank and credit card accounts have to reconcile. Payroll, loans, owner activity, and the balance sheet have to agree with what happened.
We trace the balances, rebuild supported missing activity, and correct the accounting so the reports can be used again.
Missing wallets, broken transfers, duplicate imports, and missing cost basis can materially change the report.
Payroll expense, taxes, liabilities, reimbursements, and owner compensation have to be mapped and reconciled.
Tax preparation is easier when the bookkeeping is complete and the balance sheet is reconciled.
How It Works
Straightforward work can be quoted directly. Complicated records may need a Diagnostic Review before the larger project can be scoped reliably.
Use 30 minutes to discuss fit and the likely next step.
We quote straightforward work or recommend a Diagnostic Review when needed.
We reconcile, identify gaps, correct, and rebuild supported activity.
Ongoing work follows the bookkeeping, payroll, reporting, or tax scope.
Two Separate Steps
The free consultation comes first for most clients. A Diagnostic Review is used only when the records need inspection before the full project can be scoped.
Talk through the situation, determine fit, and identify the likely service. No file review, diagnosis, or cleanup happens during the call.
We inspect complicated records, document major problems, identify missing information, and define the work needed.
Credibility
A few credentials that reflect the work we do.
Client Proof
I am so thankful for Bugaboo helping me with my bookkeeping! My husband and I ran a small trucking company, but after he passed away two years ago, I stopped paying attention to the business and the books. Jamie was able to sort out two years of records and make sense of my mess. I highly recommend calling these guys. I was so embarrased, but they made it so easy, I feel so much better that this part of my life is back on track.
-Lisa Krumbell, Owner
I got into crypto a few years ago without really knowing what I was doing or tracking anything. Bugaboo recreated my records that I lost when my wallet was hacked and found three others I had forgotten about. I was worried about the IRS, but I think my history is as ready as it will ever be! Thanks again!
-Rick Festright
My manager messed up payroll. Half my guys were underpaid, the other half weren't paid at all. I called Bugaboo Bookkeeping to help me out and they came through immediately. I think I called around six times that day with questions and each time they were extremely nice and helpful. They were able to get us setup with ADP and explained how I could pay my guys with a check instead so their paychecks weren't late. Awesome Company!

Frequently Asked Questions
The free consultation determines fit. It is not a free review of QuickBooks or crypto files.
The 30-minute consultation is a fit and scope conversation. We discuss what is happening, what you need, and the likely next step.
Not necessarily. We recommend the $500 Diagnostic Review only when the records are too complicated or incomplete to scope reliably from a conversation.
Yes. Multi-year cleanup and historical reconstruction are core parts of our work. The available records determine how the project is scoped.
We reconcile known wallets and exchanges, investigate unmatched transfers, and document missing cost basis instead of guessing.
The $500 Diagnostic Review is the only fixed public price. Other work is custom quoted after we understand or review the scope.
