# Historical Cleanup

> For books that are behind, incomplete or on cash basis. Agents rebuild your history month by month. Your accountant reviews and signs off, so investors and auditors get books they can rely on.

## Books that hold up in diligence

## What is included

- Review of the current books to create a plan to fix them
- Bank, credit card, payroll and invoicing history reconciled month by month
- Transactions recategorized to a chart of accounts that fits your business
- Cash-basis books converted to accrual - and US GAAP applied if applicable
- Revenue restated under ASC 606 where your contracts call for it
- Prior years closed so late returns and extensions can be filed
- Opening balances agreed and locked before your first monthly close
- A written summary of what changed and why, for investors or future auditors

## Agents do the work. An accountant signs off.
