Find the Problems. Fix the Books. Move Forward.

When financial records are inaccurate, incomplete, or difficult to understand, it can be hard to know where to begin. Sunflower Ledgers provides diagnostic reviews and clean up services to identify problem areas, correct inconsistencies, and help businesses regain confidence in their financial information.

Whether your books have fallen behind, reports do not look right, or you simply want a professional review of your current setup, Sunflower Ledgers can help determine what needs attention and create a clear path forward.

Understand What Is Happening in Your Books

Bookkeeping problems are not always obvious. Transactions may be categorized incorrectly, accounts may not reconcile, duplicate entries can distort reports, and opening balances may have been entered inaccurately. Over time, these issues can make financial statements unreliable and tax preparation more stressful.

A diagnostic review takes a closer look at your books, accounting setup, and financial records to identify inconsistencies or areas of concern. Once the review is complete, Sunflower Ledgers can explain what was found and recommend the steps needed to improve the accuracy and organization of your records.

Diagnostic Bookkeeping Review

A Closer Look at Your Financial Records

A diagnostic review provides an in-depth assessment of the current condition of your books. It is designed to uncover errors, inconsistencies, and missing information that may be affecting the accuracy of your financial reports.

Instead of immediately making changes, Sunflower Ledgers first reviews how your accounts are structured, how transactions have been recorded, and whether the information within your bookkeeping system aligns with supporting records.

A Diagnostic Review Includes
  • Reviewing the chart of accounts
  • Examining bank and credit card reconciliations
  • Identifying uncategorized transactions
  • Looking for duplicate or missing entries
  • Reviewing account balances for inconsistencies
  • Checking accounts receivable and accounts payable records
  • Examining payroll entries
  • Reviewing sales tax accounts
  • Evaluating financial statements
  • Identifying unusual or outdated balances
  • Assessing the overall bookkeeping process
What You Receive
The review helps you understand:
  • What is working correctly
  • Which records may be inaccurate
  • Where information is missing
  • Which accounts require additional review
  • What clean up work may be needed
  • How bookkeeping processes can be improved moving forward

Bookkeeping Clean Up

Correcting Errors and Restoring Organization

Once problem areas have been identified, clean up services focus on correcting inaccurate information and improving the organization of your books.

The scope of the clean up depends on the condition of your records, the amount of time being reviewed, and the complexity of the issues discovered. Sunflower Ledgers will work through the agreed-upon areas carefully to create more dependable financial information.

Clean Up Services Include:
  • Correcting improperly categorized transactions
  • Reconciling bank and credit card accounts
  • Removing duplicate entries
  • Reviewing outstanding checks and deposits
  • Correcting inaccurate account balances
  • Organizing the chart of accounts
  • Addressing uncategorized income and expenses
  • Reviewing customer and vendor balances
  • Correcting accounts receivable or payable records
  • Updating opening balances
  • Organizing supporting financial information
  • Preparing corrected financial statements

Catch Up Bookkeeping

Bringing Overdue
Records Current

If your bookkeeping has not been updated consistently, catch up services can help bring your records current. Sunflower Ledgers works through overdue transactions and reconciliations in an organized manner, helping you move from uncertainty to a clearer understanding of your business finances.

Catch Up Services May Be Helpful When
  • Your books are several months or years behind
  • Bank or credit card accounts have not been reconciled
  • Transactions have accumulated without being categorized
  • Financial statements are unavailable or incomplete
  • You need current records for tax preparation
  • You are applying for financing
  • You are preparing to sell or grow your business
  • You want to begin monthly bookkeeping with a clean foundation

Preparing Your Books for Tax Time

More Organized Records for Your
Tax Professional

Incomplete or inaccurate bookkeeping can create delays, additional questions, and unnecessary stress during tax season. Diagnostic and clean up services help organize your financial information before it is provided to your tax professional.

Sunflower Ledgers can help ensure transactions are categorized, accounts are reconciled, and financial statements are available so your tax professional has clearer information to work from.

Sunflower Ledgers does not replace your tax professional but helps prepare the bookkeeping records needed to support a more efficient tax preparation process.
