What Is QuickBooks Cleanup?

QuickBooks cleanup involves fixing, correcting, and organizing your existing bookkeeping data. It typically includes:

  • Bank and credit card reconciliation
  • Reclassifying transactions to the correct chart of accounts
  • Fixing duplicate or missing entries
  • Reviewing and adjusting journal entries
  • Correcting sales tax reporting errors
  • Tying out balances to actual bank statements

Unlike monthly bookkeeping, cleanup is focused on correcting your past, so you can confidently move forward.

How to Know If You Need QuickBooks Cleanup

If any of these apply to you, it’s time to consider a cleanup:

  • You haven’t reconciled your accounts in several months
  • Your profit and loss report doesn’t match reality
  • Your balance sheet shows negative values or errors
  • You haven’t recorded expenses properly
  • You’re preparing for tax season but unsure your books are correct

How Much Does QuickBooks Cleanup Cost?

Most QuickBooks cleanups range from $250 to $2,000 depending on:

  • How many months you’re behind
  • How many bank or credit card accounts you use
  • Whether you need accrual-based reports
  • Whether you’re also catching up on monthly bookkeeping
