Which do I need?

Which Do You Need? | Cloud5 Accounting
Question 1 of 2

Are transactions being entered into your QuickBooks?

Question 2 of 2

Are those entries reliable, reconciled, and correctly categorized?

You need a QuickBooks cleanup

Your books exist, they just need corrections. We reconcile every account, fix categorizations, remove duplicates, and hand you a tax-ready file.

You need catch-up bookkeeping

Your transactions haven't been entered. We build your books from scratch using bank statements, then reconcile every account so you're caught up and tax-ready.

You need cleanup + catch-up

Some months are entered, some are missing, very common. We enter the missing periods and clean up the existing entries in one project. One quote, one timeline.

You may just need monthly bookkeeping

Your books sound like they're in decent shape. A quick strategy call will confirm, and if you'd like to hand off the monthly grind, we can take it from here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need a QuickBooks cleanup?2026-01-30T12:32:11-05:00

If you’re behind on reconciling accounts, your financial reports don’t make sense, or your bank balance doesn’t match QuickBooks, chances are you need a clean-up. If your CPA has ever told you your books are “a mess,” that’s a sign too.

What does a QuickBooks cleanup include?2026-01-30T12:32:04-05:00

We review and fix inaccurate data, reconcile accounts, correct miscategorized transactions, clean up your chart of accounts, eliminate duplicates, and prepare your books for tax filing or ongoing bookkeeping.

How far back can you clean up?2025-06-16T16:34:33-05:00

We can go back as many years as needed. Most clients need 6–24 months of clean-up, but we’ve handled projects spanning several years.

How long does the cleanup process take?2026-01-30T12:31:42-05:00

Most clean-ups are completed in 2–4 weeks, depending on how far behind you are and how complex your data is.

What do you need from me to get started?2025-06-16T16:37:59-05:00

Just a QuickBooks Online login (we’ll guide you through sharing access) and a short onboarding form. No long meetings or paperwork.

Do you offer ongoing monthly bookkeeping too?2025-06-16T16:40:21-05:00

Yes! Most of our clients started with a clean-up and then chose to have us maintain their books monthly so they never fall behind again.

Is this a one-time service, or do I have to sign a contract?2025-06-16T16:41:26-05:00

Clean-up is a one-time service. No long-term commitment required. You can add ongoing support if and when you’re ready.
