Need your QuickBooks Online books caught up, cleaned up, or managed every month? I help U.S. small business owners maintain accurate books, reconcile accounts, and deliver reliable financial reports that give them confidence in their numbers. Your books haven't been touched in months, tax season is approaching faster than you'd like, and you honestly can't tell if your business made money last quarter or just stayed busy. That's where I come in. While supporting an accounts team, I identified and recovered over 40 unrecorded expense receipts that had never made it into the books, quietly distorting the company's financial picture. Once those transactions were captured and reconciled, the financial reports finally reflected reality. That level of attention to detail isn't extra effort for me it's my standard. Here's how I can help: ✅ QuickBooks Online Bookkeeping ✅ Catch-Up & Cleanup Bookkeeping ✅ Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation ✅ Transaction Categorization ✅ Accounts Payable & Accounts Receivable ✅ Monthly Financial Reporting (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet & Cash Flow Statement) ✅ QuickBooks Online Setup & Organization ✅ Ongoing Monthly Bookkeeping Support ✅ U.S. Bookkeeping Best Practices & GAAP-Based Recordkeeping Working with me is straightforward. You send me your bank statements, credit card records, and receipts. I accurately categorize every transaction, reconcile your accounts in QuickBooks Online, identify discrepancies, and communicate with you before making assumptions. My goal is to keep your books clean, organized, and accurate so you always know where your business stands. I maintain accurate books using U.S. bookkeeping best practices and apply GAAP principles where appropriate, ensuring your financial records are reliable, consistent, and ready for tax preparation and informed business decisions. At the end of every month, you'll receive reliable financial reports including your Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement explained in plain English, not accounting jargon, so you can make informed business decisions with confidence. Whether you're behind by three months or ten, I'll get your books back on track and ready for your tax professional. I hold a B.Sc. in Accounting, I'm an Intuit Certified Bookkeeper and a QuickBooks Online ProAdvisor. I also maintain a 100% Job Success Score with 5-star client feedback on Upwork, reflecting my commitment to accuracy, reliability, and clear communication. Whether you're looking for a one-time QuickBooks cleanup, catch-up bookkeeping, or a dependable bookkeeper to manage your books every month, I'm ready to help. Send me a message today and tell me where your books stand. I'll identify what's holding your books back, recommend the best path forward, and deliver clean, accurate, and organized books you can trust. While you focus on growing your business, I'll make sure your numbers are always working for you.

Certified in both QuickBooks Online (Intuit ProAdvisor) and Xero (Advisor Certified) — I clean up messy books, reconcile accounts to the penny, and deliver tax-ready financials you can actually trust. If your books are behind, reconciliations don't balance, or your reports can't be trusted, I can help. I specialize in cleanup, catch-up bookkeeping, and bank reconciliation for small businesses in the US and Australia — including real estate, construction, service businesses, and professional firms like migration agencies. Hidden problems I find and fix: Duplicate bank feed entries corrupting account balances Forced reconciliations that don't reflect actual activity Opening balances that don't tie to prior periods Misclassified expenses distorting your P&L — including client money booked as income (a common and costly error in agency businesses) Months or years of backlogged, uncategorized transactions What you get: ✔ Bank and credit card accounts reconciled to the penny ✔ Clean, accurate Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet ✔ Correct GST/BAS coding for Australian businesses ✔ Tax-ready books your CPA or tax agent can rely on My process: → Diagnostic Review — I find what's actually wrong, not just what looks wrong → Cleanup & Correction — I fix errors at the source → Final Validation — I confirm reports, balances, and reconciliations before delivery I don't patch numbers to make them match. I fix the root cause. Works in: QuickBooks Online | Xero | Excel Time zones: Available on US and Australian business hours. If your books are messy, behind, or simply not making sense — send me a message and I'll tell you exactly what needs to be done.
