- Correct entity information as well as cash vs accrual basis
- Make sure sales tax codes are all accurate
- Create the Chart of Accounts
Catch up:

- Recreate all the transactions electronically
Training:

- Review processes for inputting and reconciliations
- Confirm that procedures are in place where applicable
- Problem solving

Hands down the best bookkeeper ever!
Linda is an outstanding bookkeeper. She took over our company books after the previous bookkeepers had made a complete mess of them. She rebuilt them from scratch and we now have books that help us run our business efficiently. Her timeliness and attention to detail are second to none. If you need top notch bookkeeper who is a joy to work with, I highly recommend her.
