A profit and loss statement can look normal while the balance sheet is wrong. Bank feeds can be connected while reconciliations are months behind. Old journal entries, duplicated transactions, incorrect opening balances, payroll postings, loan balances, and uncategorized activity can quietly distort the entire file.
Bugaboo Bookkeeping specializes in the cleanup work that comes before reliable monthly bookkeeping, tax preparation, financing, or meaningful financial reporting.
Months or years need to be caught up, reconciled, and brought current from source records.
Bank, credit card, loan, payroll, A/R, A/P, or clearing balances do not tie to reality.
Transactions were duplicated, forced, deleted, miscoded, or adjusted without adequate support.
Your tax professional needs reliable financials before a return can be prepared accurately.
Statements, receipts, prior files, and historical records are missing or inconsistent and need reconstruction.
A prior bookkeeper, employee, DIY setup, or software migration left a file you cannot confidently use.
Cleanup Process
Tell us about your business, software, how far behind the books are, and what is not working. We review the submission before scheduling anything.
If the project looks like a fit, we will contact you to schedule a free consultation. We will talk through what is happening, your goals, and the records available.
After the call, we will explain the right next step. If the books need a deeper review before cleanup can be scoped, we may recommend a $500 Diagnostic Review with written findings.
Once there is enough information to define the work, you receive a cleanup scope and price. A diagnostic, when recommended, is a separate service and does not include the cleanup itself.
We work from source evidence, correct the accounting records, reconcile balance sheet accounts, and document material cleanup decisions.
