Overview
Behind on your books? No judgment here.
Books fall behind for all kinds of reasons: a busy season, a bookkeeper who moved on, a software switch that went sideways, or simply not enough hours in the day. The longer it goes, the more overwhelming it feels, and the easier it becomes to keep putting it off.
Cleanup work is some of our favorite work. We dig into the numbers, find the discrepancies, and track down where the money actually went. When we’re done, your books are reconciled, organized, and ready for your CPA, and you finally have numbers you can trust.

- General ledger cleanup
- Catch-up and historical bookkeeping

In their words
Three years behind, caught up on time
Salty Books Bookkeeping did an amazing job helping me catch up on 3 years of bookkeeping work. Communication was easy throughout the entire process, and they delivered everything on time. Highly recommend them for anyone needing reliable and professional bookkeeping support!

How far behind is too far behind?
There’s no limit. We’ve caught clients up on three years of bookkeeping. We’ll tell you up front how long your cleanup should take and what it will cost.
Will you work with my CPA?
Yes. If you have tax returns waiting on clean books, we’ll coordinate with your CPA so they get what they need. If you don’t have a CPA, our in-house CPA can help.
What happens after the cleanup?
That’s up to you. Many clients choose monthly bookkeeping afterward, because staying current is much easier than catching up again.
