How it works
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.
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.
A written scope and a fixed price. Signed engagement letter before work begins. No hourly meter running in the background.
Transactions coded, accounts reconciled, balance sheet tied out. I work from statements, not guesses. Weekly status, no chasing.
Clean financials, a reconciled file you own, and a short walkthrough of what the numbers actually say about your business.
Why a CPA
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.
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.
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.
Books, filings, and planning under one roof. No handoff between a bookkeeper and a preparer who blame each other in April.
After the cleanup
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.

The evaluation is free, takes about fifteen minutes, and ends with a real number — not a range and not a sales call.
Services
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.
Start here
Up to twelve months of books reconstructed from scratch and reconciled to your statements, delivered in three weeks. For anyone who needs financials that don't exist yet.
Multi-year rebuilds, inventory, payroll, and multi-entity work are quoted individually. You approve the number before work begins.
Then keep it clean
Books closed every month, statements in your inbox, and a CPA who already knows your file when something comes up. No catching up ever again.
Price scales with transaction volume, number of accounts, and payroll complexity. Books must be current to start — that's what the catch-up engagement is for.
And file it
Business and individual returns, prior-year filings, and planning conversations that happen before December instead of after April.
Not sure which one
It's free, it's fifteen minutes, and it ends with a written scope and a number. If the answer is that you don't need me yet, I'll tell you that too.
About
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.
