Services
At Melton Bookkeeping and Accounting Services, I offer various bookkeeping services, accounting services and tax preparation for businesses and individuals.
Clean Up Your QuickBooks
QuickBooks Cleanup & Correction
This is not a surface-level cleanup. This is a full correction of your books so they are accurate, reliable, and done right the first time.
Result:
Clean, accurate, and fully reliable QuickBooks—done right the first time—so you can confidently use your numbers for taxes, bonding, loan applications, and the day-to-day decisions that impact your cash flow and growth.
What’s Included:
• Full review of your current QuickBooks file to identify errors, gaps, and problem areas
• Cleanup and correction of uncategorized, duplicated, or incorrectly recorded transactions
• Reconciliation of bank and credit card accounts to ensure accuracy
• Correction of prior period issues impacting your financial reports
• Organization of your books so they are clean, consistent, and easy to maintain going forward
• Delivery of accurate, tax-ready financial reports you can rely on
• Clear communication throughout the process so you always know where things stand
Risk Reversal:
If something isn’t right, I fix it. My goal is to make sure your books are accurate, complete, and done right the first time—not something you have to keep revisiting.
Simple, Guided Process:
The process is straightforward and guided. Once we get started, I’ll walk you through exactly what’s needed, handle the cleanup, and keep you updated along the way—so you’re not left guessing or chasing information.
Bonus:
At the end of the cleanup, you’ll receive a clear, practical outline of what needs to happen going forward to keep your books accurate and up to date—so you don’t end up back in the same position again.
