What a cleanup looks like
Bank on the left, books on the right. Differences are traced and resolved until the two agree.
Who it's for
Creatives & coaches
Unpredictable income, many small invoices and receipts, and a need to see where you really stand.
Small business owners

Lovely lessons
Short, plain-English explanations of what your numbers really mean.
Money in the bank isn't profit
Your balance is cash on hand today. It doesn't show what you earned, what you owe or what customers still owe you.
Illustrative example
What "reconciling" means
Comparing your records with your bank statement. When they differ, the cause is usually a double entry, a missed purchase, a wrong amount, a wrong account or an unrecorded fee.
Retire the shoebox
When receipts live in a folder, your CPA has to guess at tax time. Organized records show every deduction you are entitled to.
Know someone whose books are behind?
An introduction is plenty. If the business becomes a client, Melissa says thank you with a referral bonus.
How it works
You don't need to sell anything. If a business owner mentions that their books are behind, they're unsure the numbers are accurate or they're tired of doing their own bookkeeping, an introduction is all it takes.
