Turn confusing accounts into clearer records.
Messy bookkeeping can make it hard to trust your numbers, prepare BAS information or understand where the business really stands.
Many small business owners fall behind with bookkeeping because they are busy running the business. Transactions build up, bank reconciliations get missed, receipts go missing and old entries may not match what actually happened.
Crack The Books provides bookkeeping clean-up services to help bring your accounts back into a more organised and reliable state. We review the current file, identify the main issues and work through the records step by step.
Once the clean-up is complete, ongoing bookkeeping becomes much easier to maintain.
What We Help Fix
Bookkeeping clean-up for common problem areas.
Clean-up work is about finding what is unclear, correcting what can be corrected and helping your accounting records make more sense again.
01 / Reconcile
Bank Reconciliation Clean-Up
Help reviewing bank accounts, matching transactions and working through unreconciled or incorrectly reconciled items.
02 / Review
Coding and Category Checks
Support checking income and expense coding so records are easier to understand and more useful for reporting.
03 / Catch Up
Overdue Bookkeeping
Catch-up support for months of transactions, missing information and records that have fallen behind.
Clean-Up Tasks
What can be included in a clean-up.
Every file is different. The clean-up work depends on what is missing, what is incorrect and how far behind the bookkeeping has become.
- Bank reconciliation reviews
- Unmatched transaction checks
- Income and expense coding review
- GST record checks
- BAS record preparation support
- Payroll record review
- Duplicate or missing transaction checks
- Catch-up bookkeeping for overdue records
- Xero and cloud bookkeeping support
- Ongoing bookkeeping setup after the clean-up
How It Works
A simple way to get the books back on track.
We start by understanding the current state of the accounts, then work through the clean-up in a sensible order.
Review the file
We look at where the bookkeeping is up to, what system is being used and what issues are already obvious.
Identify the gaps
Missing records, unreconciled transactions, unclear coding and overdue periods are identified before the work begins.
Clean up the records
We work through transactions, reconciliations, coding and supporting records to bring the books into a clearer state.
Set up the next step
Once the clean-up is complete, ongoing bookkeeping can help keep everything moving and avoid falling behind again.
Who It Helps
Useful when the numbers do not feel reliable.
Clean-up bookkeeping is especially helpful when the accounts have fallen behind, BAS time is stressful or reports no longer feel trustworthy.
Can you help if I am months behind?
Yes. We can help review how far behind the bookkeeping is and work through the records in stages.
Can you clean up Xero records?
Yes. We can help with cloud bookkeeping records, including Xero bank feeds, reconciliations, coding and catch-up work.
Can this help before BAS?
Yes. Cleaner bookkeeping can make BAS preparation easier because the GST records and reconciliations are clearer.
Do you work outside Sydney?
Yes. Crack The Books is Sydney-based and works remotely with small businesses across Australia.
