QuickBooks cleanup & catch-up bookkeeping

Behind on your books? Get a clean slate you can hand to your CPA or your bank.

I clean up, reconcile and organize your QuickBooks Online so you know where the business stands, taxes stop being a scramble, and a lender sees books they can trust. Built for owner-operators, real estate investors and short-term rental hosts.

Sound familiar?

Behind on the books usually means busy, not careless.

Months behind

Bank feeds piled up, receipts in a shoebox, and a quiet dread every time you open QuickBooks.

Books that don't tie out

Balances that don't match the bank, duplicate entries, personal and business mixed together.

A deadline is coming

Tax time, a loan application, a refinance, a partner asking for numbers, or a new CPA who needs clean records.

How it works

A plain process with no surprises

1

Quick diagnostic

I review your QuickBooks file and statements, then tell you what shape things are in and what it will take.

2

Fixed quote

You get a written quote based on the number of transactions to be worked, so you know the price before we start.

3

Cleanup

Categorize, reconcile, fix the mess, and set up your chart of accounts and rules so it stays clean.

4

Handoff

Reports ready for your CPA or tax preparer, a short walkthrough, and a simple routine to keep up.

On your timeline

Cleanup ahead of the deadline that matters

Tell me the date you're working against and I'll plan the work around it. Common ones:

Pricing

Fixed price, based on the work involved

Cleanups from $750

Every file is different, so I price by the number of transactions that need to be worked, plus the complexity. A small backlog costs less than a two-year mess, and either way you see the number before I start.

  • Paid diagnostic ($250), credited toward your project if you go ahead. You get a clear read on your books either way.
  • Written, fixed quote for the agreed scope.
  • If the books turn out materially different from what the diagnostic showed, I tell you first and we agree on any change before work continues.

Want ongoing help after the cleanup? Some owners want it, some don't. We can talk about it once you have clean books and a feel for what you need.

Who's behind this

An operator who learned books the hard way

I'm Nathan Beach. For 13 years I've worked on the operating side of real estate: broker, property manager, general manager and director of operations, investor, small business owner and short-term rental (Airbnb-style) operator. I've led, grown and systemized companies in Indiana, Tennessee and Alabama, and kept the books for my own businesses along the way.

Today I run a couple of property management companies, own a boutique short-term rental business with 800+ guest reviews, and manage my own portfolio of rental properties. I live in QuickBooks Online every day, and I enjoy turning a messy file into a clean, systematized one that stays that way. I'm now offering that help to other owners.

I know the feeling of not wanting to open your books. I've been there with my own businesses, and that avoidance is what pushed me to build systems that get the books on track and keep them there. The cleanup process on this page is that system.

This service is built for owner-operators, investors and short-term rental hosts, and I'm comfortable learning how your kind of business works.

Questions

FAQ

Do you only work with real estate?

No. Rental properties and real estate are what I know best, but any small business on QuickBooks Online is a fit.

Do I need to be on QuickBooks Online already?

That's the easiest case. If you're on spreadsheets, desktop QuickBooks or another tool, tell me and we'll work out the best path.

Do you file taxes or give tax advice?

No. I get your books clean and organized so your CPA or tax preparer can do their job faster. I'm happy to work alongside the one you have.

How long does a cleanup take?

It depends on volume and how fast I get statements and answers. I'll give you a timeline in the quote, built around your deadline.

Is my financial information safe?

I ask for read access through your QuickBooks invite and statements by secure link. Nothing sensitive needs to go in this inquiry form.
