Accounting Cleanup
Turn incomplete, inconsistent books into a reliable financial foundation.
Focused catch-up and cleanup support for businesses facing unreconciled accounts, delayed reporting, tax-readiness problems, or financial records they no longer trust.
A cleanup engagement begins with diagnosis, not guesswork.
Historical accounting problems can distort profit, hide liabilities, delay tax filings, and undermine financing decisions. Prosperity One first determines what is wrong, how far back the problems extend, and what source records are available. The resulting scope identifies the work required to produce a supportable closing balance and a sustainable process going forward.
Common issues we address
Months or years of unreconciled bank and credit-card activity
Duplicate, missing, or misclassified transactions
Incorrect loan, payroll, owner-equity, and fixed-asset balances
Payment processors or clearing accounts that do not reconcile
Disorganized chart-of-accounts structures
Prior-period balances that do not match filed returns or supporting records
Incomplete records needed for tax preparation, financing, or a transaction
No documented process to keep the books accurate after cleanup
What the engagement can produce
- A documented issue inventory and cleanup plan
- Reconciled accounts through the agreed closing date
- Corrected classifications and supportable balances
- Updated financial statements for the agreed periods
- A list of unresolved items requiring client or outside-advisor action
- Recommendations for monthly bookkeeping controls and responsibilities
What we need from you
Cleanup depends on complete access to the accounting file, bank and credit-card statements, payroll reports, debt records, tax returns, processor statements, and other supporting documentation. The timeline and fee depend on the number of periods, accounts, entities, transaction volume, system condition, and availability of records.
From recovery to a dependable monthly close.
Cleanup should not end with corrected history. When appropriate, Prosperity One can transition the business into ongoing bookkeeping and financial reporting so the same problems do not return.
Scope, assumptions, exclusions, deliverables, and fees are confirmed after an initial assessment. Services do not constitute an audit, review, compilation, or assurance engagement unless expressly stated.
