SERVICE BRIEF

Accounting Cleanup & Books Restoration

At Jay & Co. CPA PLLC, we help individuals and businesses clean up, organize, and reconcile their accounting records to restore accuracy and improve financial visibility. Our cleanup process focuses on correcting bookkeeping errors, identifying unreconciled transactions, reviewing account balances, and ensuring your books are ready for tax preparation, financial reporting, and business decision-making.
We take a detailed approach to accounting cleanup by reviewing bank and credit card reconciliations, transaction classifications, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll postings, loan balances, owner contributions, and prior-period adjustments.
For businesses, we also review chart of accounts structure, duplicate entries, missing transactions, and unusual balances to help create clean, reliable, and tax-ready books.
