A working reference for bookkeepers and CPAs: cleanup, the close, and books that hold up under review.


Tell us what you are stuck on

This site is written from the problems bookkeepers and CPAs actually bring to it. If something here is wrong, thin, or missing, say so. If you are stuck on a cleanup, a close that will not tie out, or a migration that landed badly, describe it and it will help decide what gets written next.


We use what you send to answer you and to decide what to write about. Please do not send client-identifying details or company files - a description of the problem is enough, and it keeps your client's data out of an inbox it does not need to be in.
