QuickBooks catch-up and clean-up
Months or years behind? Accounts that will not reconcile? We bring your QuickBooks Online file back to clean, reconciled, tax-ready books, at a fixed price.
What is QuickBooks catch-up and clean-up?
QuickBooks catch-up brings books that are months or years behind up to date; clean-up fixes books that are current but wrong. Both end the same way: every bank, credit card and loan account reconciled to its statements, every transaction coded correctly, sales tax accounts that tie to your returns, and a file your accountant can rely on.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a QuickBooks catch-up take?
It depends on how many months are behind and how many transactions you have; we give you a fixed timeline after the free review. As an example, a recent QuickBooks Online reconciliation and correction project was completed in 10 days.
How much does a QuickBooks clean-up cost?
Every clean-up is quoted as a fixed price after a free review of your file. You know the full cost before any work starts, with no open-ended hourly billing.
What do you need from me for a catch-up?
We need accountant access to your QuickBooks file and statements for every bank, credit card and loan account for the period. We never need your passwords or online banking login.
Can you clean up QuickBooks Desktop or Xero files?
Yes, we clean up QuickBooks Desktop and Xero files as well as QuickBooks Online.
Will my accountant accept the cleaned-up books?
Yes, the clean-up is built for accountant review. You get reconciliation reports for every account and a discrepancy report listing every correction.
Can a clean-up find GST/HST input tax credits I missed?
Often, yes. We check purchases for missed or incorrect input tax credits. One recent review of 12 client workbooks recovered $2,264 in GST credits. Any amended returns are filed by you or your accountant.
