Books a mess? Let me have a look. Much of my accounting career has involved cleaning up and reconciling incorrect and incomplete recordkeeping. You can't surprise me any more--I've found payables getting paid twice each month, intercompany activity only recorded on one side, even a balance sheet that didn't balance. Sometimes messy books are just that--messy. But often they are hiding the fact that money is leaking out of your business. And sometimes they hid the fact that money is being systematically stolen from your business. Because I've cleaned up so many messes, I know where to look for the clues to what's going on in yours. And once they're straightened out, I can help you put policies and controls in place to prevent & detect future problems.
