Signs Your QuickBooks Needs a Cleanup
You may benefit from a QuickBooks cleanup if:
✓ Your books haven't been reconciled regularly
Your bank or credit card balance doesn't match QuickBooks, or you have months—or years—of unreconciled transactions.
✓ Your Profit & Loss doesn't look right
Your income or expenses seem unusually high or low, or transactions appear in the wrong categories.
✓ Your Balance Sheet doesn't make sense
You have unexplained balances, negative asset accounts, old liabilities, or accounts that don't reflect your actual financial position.
✓ You have years of transactions sitting in QuickBooks
You've fallen behind on bookkeeping and don't know where to start.
✓ Your previous bookkeeper left
Your new bookkeeper needs a clean starting point.
✓ You're preparing for tax filing
You want your books reviewed and organized before handing financial information to your tax professional.
✓ You're selling your business or applying for financing
You need financial statements that accurately represent your business.
✓ You don't trust your numbers
This is one of the biggest warning signs.
If you find yourself saying, "I know QuickBooks says this, but I don't think that's right," it's time to take a closer look.
