Messy books? Missing transactions? Accounts that just don't make sense? I'm Jennifer Cantu, a Forensic Bookkeeper and QuickBooks Online Advanced ProAdvisor based in Texas, helping business owners across the United States clean up their books, uncover financial discrepancies, and regain confidence in their numbers. Most bookkeepers record transactions. I investigate them. Whether you're behind on bookkeeping, preparing for taxes, dealing with partner disputes, navigating a business transition, or simply trying to understand where your money is going, I bring order to financial chaos and provide books you can trust. My specialties include: ✔ QuickBooks Online Setup, Cleanup & Catch-Up Projects ✔ Forensic Bookkeeping & Financial Investigations ✔ Bank & Credit Card Reconciliations ✔ Historical Reconstruction of Financial Records ✔ Payroll Processing & Payroll Cleanup ✔ Real Estate & Rental Property Accounting ✔ Construction & Job Costing Accounting ✔ HOA & Association Accounting ✔ Nonprofit & Fund Accounting (Aplos) ✔ Financial Reporting & Process Documentation Certifications: QuickBooks Online Advanced ProAdvisor (Level 1 & Level 2) QuickBooks Payroll Certified Buildium Academy – Accounting Cycle for Rentals & Associations Aplos – Nonprofit & Fund Accounting Texas Notary Public Clients hire me when accuracy matters. I am known for identifying issues others overlook, documenting findings clearly, and creating organized financial systems that make ongoing bookkeeping easier. I thrive working independently and communicate primarily in writing—which means you won't need to manage me or chase updates, and every finding, decision, and adjustment is documented, traceable, and there for you to reference long after the project ends. I enjoy solving complex financial puzzles and helping business owners move forward with confidence. Whether your books need a simple cleanup or a deep forensic review, I am ready to help. Let's get your books accurate, organized, and working for you—not against you.
