Why It Matters in Brownsburg

Cleanup for Brownsburg’s Growing Businesses

Brownsburg’s population grew about 36% between 2010 and 2020, reaching 28,973 in the 2020 census. The late 2010s brought record investment, including mixed-use development downtown, and the Ronald Reagan Parkway now serves as the town’s industrial and distribution corridor between I-74 and I-70. Growth like that adds customers, vendors and employees quickly, and the books have to keep up with all of it.

Books that worked for a two-person shop often break when the business doubles. Transactions pile up uncategorized, accounts go unreconciled and the chart of accounts stops matching the work. A cleanup goes back through every month, fixes the coding and reconciliations, and leaves you with a file your CPA can trust.

However Far Behind

Six months or several years, we catch up every missing month.

Reconciled Before Handoff

Each account matched to its bank or card statements before we return the file.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Brownsburg business owners ask about a financial cleanup.

Do you come to Brownsburg to sort through our records?
No. The cleanup is done fully remote. We work in your QuickBooks Online file and from statements you download or share, and we talk by phone or video.
Is the cleanup really free?
Yes, when you sign up for six months of recurring service. The cleanup costs $0 no matter how far behind you are.
I am a year behind. Is that too far back?
No. We catch up however many months are missing, working one month at a time and reconciling each account as we go.
Will the cleanup fix sales tax that was booked as income?
Yes. If sales tax you collected was recorded as revenue, we move it to a liability account. Indiana has a single 7% state sales tax and no local rates, so the corrections are easy to check against your returns. Restaurants and other businesses that sell prepared food may also owe a local food and beverage tax, which some Indiana cities and counties add, so confirm the rate for your location with the Indiana Department of Revenue.
What happens after the cleanup is done?
With a recurring service agreement in place, your file moves straight into regular monthly work with the same two accountants, Oscar and Mike. Books are closed by the 15th each month, so the file does not fall behind again.
