The months that drifted.
Clean up the books that fell behind.
We start with the months that no longer match the bank, then leave you a close you can both stand behind. Steven Palmieri, a Tax CFO, does that work with you.
Name the gap
How a month falls behind.
It usually starts small. A feed stops. A personal purchase stays in the company. A deposit is counted before the work is delivered. Nobody writes the bill down. By summer the file and the bank are telling two stories.
Calling down a row of firms does not fix that. Someone has to open the months, say which ones still disagree, and finish them in order. That is the cleanup.
What the cleanup actually touches.
We compare the bank to the books, month by month. Personal spending comes out of profit. Bills that never hit the balance sheet get written down. Deposits that arrived early get moved to the month the work was done.
Payroll setup is checked if you already have a provider, and we do not run the payroll ourselves. Categories get corrected where they would land wrong on the return. The point is a month that ties, not a prettier file.
What you can look toward.
Once the old months are honest, this month can be managed while it is still this month. You stop discovering last spring in April.
A build-out can be filed while the job costs never landed in the month the work was done. You see the finished room. We see the months under the job. The permit is not the problem. We put those costs in the month they belong to, so the next bid is looking at one picture.
The first close is the proof. After that, the habit is a short note when the month is done, and a year you can plan instead of repair.
You bring the statements, the last month you trust, and a plain sentence about what feels wrong. We bring the order. Older months first. This month only after those months tie.
A feed that died in March does not get a speech. It gets the statements from March forward, entered until the balance matches, then sorted so the return can follow. One tied month is the proof we will show you before anyone talks about a whole year.
A roofer who plans the spring around the storm window, the April and May stretch when most tornadoes that hit this city arrive, often finds those same months still open. We close them before the next bid, not after the franchise report.
If a card paid for groceries and for materials, both stay visible until they are sorted. Folding the personal part into a vague category is how a return tells a story the bank will not support. When the cleanup is finished, the months can go to a lender or a buyer without being rebuilt the week a buyer asks.
You can stop after one tied month. That month is the proof, and the price for the rest of the year can wait until you have seen it. We will not ask you to buy a year of help to learn whether the bank and the books can tell the same story.
The list of open months is the thing we shorten, and you can see it get shorter after each month we finish with you.
Send the last month you trust.
A rough date is enough. We do not need a speech.
