Sound familiar?

Most people don't call because the books are messy. They call because something is due.

You can't file until the books exist.Your preparer asked for a P&L and you don't have one. The return is stuck behind eighteen months of uncategorized transactions.
A lender wants financials.The SBA loan, the line of credit, the landlord — all of them want statements you can't produce on demand.
Your last bookkeeper disappeared.Or was never really doing it. Now you're inside a QuickBooks file you don't trust and can't untangle.
You're guessing at what you owe.Estimated payments are a coin flip because nobody actually knows what the business made.

How it works

Three weeks, four steps, one price agreed up front.

You'll know the number before anyone touches a transaction. If the scope turns out to be bigger than it looked, you approve the revised quote or we stop — you're never billed for a surprise.

1

Case evaluation

You tell me how far behind you are and what's due. I look at the actual file. Free, and it takes about fifteen minutes of your time.

2

Flat quote

A written scope and a fixed price. Signed engagement letter before work begins. No hourly meter running in the background.

3

The rebuild

Transactions coded, accounts reconciled, balance sheet tied out. I work from statements, not guesses. Weekly status, no chasing.

4

Handoff

Clean financials, a reconciled file you own, and a short walkthrough of what the numbers actually say about your business.

Why a CPA

The person rebuilding your books should be the person who knows how they'll be read.

A bookkeeper codes the transaction. A CPA codes it knowing which line of the return it lands on, what a examiner would ask about it, and what it does to your basis. When the books were built by someone who's never prepared a return, the cleanup usually happens twice.

Coded for the return

Owner draws, distributions, loans, and personal-card charges get treated correctly the first time — because I prepare and review these returns, and I'm looking at every entry the way a preparer will.

Built to hold up

I spent four years auditing investment funds at Deloitte. Your books get reconciled to statements with support retained, so if anyone ever asks a question, the answer already exists and is organized.

One conversation

Books, filings, and planning under one roof. No handoff between a bookkeeper and a preparer who blame each other in April.

After the cleanup

Then it stays clean.

Most catch-up clients move onto a monthly plan the day their file is delivered — because going back to a shoebox after seeing what current books feel like is not something anyone volunteers for. Starting at $600/month, and there's no obligation to take it.

Questions

The ones people actually ask

How far behind is too far behind?
There isn't a "too far." Multi-year rebuilds are routine. The price scales with the number of months and the number of accounts, not with how bad you feel about it. Five years behind is a bigger engagement, not a rejection.
What if I don't have receipts?
Bank and credit card statements carry most of the load. Receipts matter for specific categories — meals, travel, and anything with a substantiation requirement — and I'll tell you exactly which gaps are worth chasing and which aren't worth your Saturday.
Is $2,500 the real price or the starting price?
It's the typical price for a twelve-month rebuild on a business with two or three accounts and normal transaction volume. High volume, many accounts, inventory, payroll, or multiple entities move it up. You get the actual number in writing before you commit to anything.
Can you file the returns too?
Yes. Business and individual returns, and prior-year returns once the books support them. Quoted separately so you can see what you're paying for.
What software do you work in?
QuickBooks Online primarily, Xero as needed. If you're on desktop, spreadsheets, or nothing at all, the rebuild includes standing up a proper file — and you own the subscription and the data, not me.
Do we have to meet in person?
No. The entire engagement runs remotely through secure document exchange. Clients are nationwide.

Find out what your cleanup actually costs.

The evaluation is free, takes about fifteen minutes, and ends with a real number — not a range and not a sales call.

Services

Rebuild it, maintain it, file it.

Three services that run in sequence. Most clients start in the middle of a mess and end up on a monthly plan with returns filed on time.

About

I'm Sophia Sinclair Miller, and I fix books that got away from people.

Not the tidy ones. The eighteen-months-behind, three-bank-accounts, personal-card-mixed-in, last-bookkeeper-ghosted-me ones. That's the work I'm good at, and it's the work most firms quietly decline.

I help small business owners clean up chaotic financials, get real clarity on cash flow, and reduce tax exposure — without hiring a full-time CFO, and without dreading the next letter from the IRS.

I spent four years at Deloitte & Touche as a Senior Auditor in their Private Equity Investor Services group, leading teams through audits of investment funds in Miami and New York — Level 3 valuations, carried interest models, fair value testing, the kind of work where a number has to survive being taken apart by people whose job is taking numbers apart.

What came after was deliberately broad. SEC reporting at a public retailer, preparing 10-Qs and 10-Ks. Interim Director of Finance for a Florida municipality, drafting the CAFR and rebuilding collections that recovered $2.2 million in past-due accounts. SOX control implementation and month-end close redesign for Fortune 500 companies. Audits of nonprofits and government entities. Then tax — currently preparing and reviewing complex federal and multi-state returns for high-net-worth individuals, partnerships, S corporations, trusts, and estates, plus the notices, amended returns, and penalty abatement requests that come with them.

That range is the point. I've seen how books get built at every scale, and I've seen what happens when they weren't built right — because eventually someone audits them, a lender reads them, or the IRS asks a question.

Here's what I've learned doing this work: nobody gets behind on their books because they're careless. They get behind because the business got busy, the bookkeeper left, or the software stopped making sense — and then every month that passed made it harder to start. By the time someone calls me, they've usually been avoiding it long enough to be embarrassed. That part I can take off the table immediately. I've seen worse, and I'm not going to make you explain it.

What makes the work different is that I'm a CPA who does both sides. I prepare the returns these books feed into, and I've sat on the audit side testing whether records hold up. So when I'm deciding how to code an owner's transfer, a mixed-use vehicle, or a loan from a family member, I'm not guessing at a category — I know which line it lands on and what happens if it's wrong. That's the difference between a cleanup that holds and a cleanup you pay for twice.

The other thing I care about, maybe more than I should: building systems that don't need me standing over them. Most of a small firm's month goes to doing the same fourteen things by hand — I know, because I once rebuilt a month-end close into a working-day checklist and watched it stop being a fire drill. I spend a lot of my time now figuring out which of those tasks can be automated, templated, or handed to a tool. For my own practice first, and increasingly for the firms and nonprofits that ask me how I did it.
