Why It Matters in Avon

Getting Avon Books Back on Track

Avon was a farming community for most of its history and did not incorporate as a town until 1996. It has grown quickly since, with IU Health West Hospital, retail and dining along US 36, and offices for insurance, real estate and accounting firms in the town center. Many businesses that opened in that stretch started with a bank account and good intentions, not a bookkeeping system.

Months of uncategorized transactions make every decision a guess, and they slow your CPA down at tax time. A cleanup clears the backlog. We reconcile every account month by month, fix coding errors and restructure the chart of accounts if it no longer matches what you do.

Backlog Cleared

Every missing month entered and categorized, however far back it goes.

Ready for Your CPA

A reconciled file your CPA can prepare returns from without starting over.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions Avon business owners ask about a financial cleanup.

Is there somewhere in Avon to drop off receipts?
No. We work fully remote, so there is no drop-off. You share your QuickBooks Online file and statements electronically, 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.
Can you clean up a file someone else set up?
Yes. Many cleanups start with a file set up by a previous bookkeeper or the owner. We review it, fix what is wrong and restructure the chart of accounts if the original no longer fits.
Do I have to stop using QuickBooks during the cleanup?
No. You can keep entering current activity while we work through the past months. We agree on a cutoff date with you so the two do not overlap.
Will a cleanup help if a lender asks for financial statements?
Yes. A reconciled file produces a profit and loss and balance sheet you can stand behind, which is what a lender will ask to see.
