Accounting Cleanup & Restoration
Months, or years,
behind on the books?
Let’s restore what’s
true.
When records are incomplete, unreconciled, or simply can’t be trusted, RW Financial Services reconstructs and corrects them from the source documents up, so you have financial records you can actually stand behind.
Schedule Your Free 15-Minute ConsultationWe meet you in the mess, but we don’t leave you there.
Does this sound familiar?
The longer the books sit, the harder it feels to start.
“My books are a mess, and I’m embarrassed to show anyone.”
“We haven’t reconciled the accounts in months. Maybe longer.”
“There’s a balance in QuickBooks nobody can explain.”
“My bookkeeper left, and I’m not sure what was finished.”
“Every accountant I call wants clean books before they’ll help me.”
“I need this fixed correctly, not patched.”
Capable owners fall behind all the time, usually because the business demanded everything else first. What matters is getting it right from here.
Why it matters
Patching isn’t restoring.
Unreliable books rarely stay contained. Tax returns built on them are only as good as the numbers underneath. Lenders, attorneys, and investors who ask for statements receive information you can’t confidently defend. And every month that passes adds more transactions on top of an unstable foundation.
Restoration means going back to the source: bank and card statements, payroll records, processor reports, and invoices. From there, we rebuild a record that ties out and can be supported.
The goal is not simply to fix the past. It is to keep the same problems from following the business into its future.
What restoration includes
Rebuilt from the source documents up.
Every engagement starts by determining what exists, what’s missing, and where the problems began. Then the work is done in a deliberate order.
02
Account reconciliation
Reconcile bank, credit card, loan, and balance sheet accounts so they tie out.

Error correction

Is this the right fit?
Restoration is for owners who want it done right.
A strong fit if...
- Several months or years of cleanup are needed.
- A prior bookkeeper or accountant left work incomplete or inaccurate.
- You need records that will hold up for taxes, financing, or legal matters.
- You want to stay current once the books are restored.
Probably not the right fit if...
- You want a return filed from numbers you know are unreliable.
- You expect complex cleanup at basic bookkeeping rates.
- You aren’t able to provide the records or access the work requires.
Where this leads
Restoration is often the beginning, not the end.
Once your records are reliable, the next step is keeping them that way, and then using them to make better decisions. Not every business needs every stage. We start where you are.

Questions
Before you schedule
How far back can you go?
As far as needed to establish a reliable starting point. The initial review determines which periods truly need reconstruction.
I’m missing a lot of documents. Can you still help?
Often, yes. Bank, card, payroll, and processor records can usually be obtained and used to rebuild what’s missing.
How long does cleanup take?
It depends on the number of periods, accounts, and transactions involved. You’ll receive a realistic scope once we understand the situation, not a guess.
Will I be judged for how far it’s gone?
No. No judgment, no shame. Just a clear understanding of what happened and a plan to fix it.
