QuickBooks Clean-Up Specialists

We take an educational approach to bookkeeping clean-up and ongoing accounting services so business owners have more clarity about where they stand and can have confidence in understanding their numbers.

My name is AJ Stockwell. I am a CPA with a confession to make: I don't prepare tax returns. My career has been completely focused working in-house and as an outsourced resource for companies to ensure their books and financial statements are correct.

I have been the CFO and Controller of businesses with revenues ranging from $10m to over $150m per year and bring a business operator's mindset to the outsourced CFO service model.

In 2014, I started selling an online QuickBooks training course, back when QuickBooks Desktop was still the standard. A few years later I released my QuickBooks Online course, and I continue to maintain and update my education platform.

Over time it became clear that there was a need for quality QuickBooks clean-up services.

QuickBooks tries to be user-friendly. But there is no getting around the fact that it is a professional accounting ledger software. If it's being directed by someone without the necessary knowledge and experience, it can go off the rails fast. If you're worried your financial statements are inaccurate, contact me by scheduling a free consultation call or sending me an email:

Does This Sound Like You?

You open up QuickBooks and run a P&L. You already know after 5 seconds of looking at it that your revenue is wrong: you've billed less (or more). Why is gross profit negative? What is going into that "office supplies" expense line?

You close QuickBooks and figure you'll deal with it when tax time comes. You can just manage for now by looking at your online banking.

  • Do you feel like you don't trust the numbers QuickBooks is showing you?
  • Does it seem nobody can really articulate the problem or just fix it?
  • Are you frustrated that you don't really know where your business stands?
  • Does tax time stress you out every year?
  • Are you worried you might be paying too much in taxes because your P&L doesn't reflect your true income?

Messy Books Are A Nightmare

Work with a CPA and accountant who has the technical accounting education and the QuickBooks knowledge and experience to make sure your books are cleaned up properly.

Other Services

In addition to bookkeeping clean-ups, we offer a full suite of accounting and bookkeeping services to support businesses, including but not limited to:

  • Ongoing monthly/quarterly bookkeeping
  • Quarterly or year-end reviews
  • Live one-on-one training or consulting sessions (by the hour): If you want to manage your books yourself and just need guidance on a few tricky tasks, this can be a great way to learn.
  • Fractional CFO or Controller services: If your business has reached the point that just bookkeeping doesn't cut it, it's time to bring in a higher level of oversight and guidance. Fractional CFO services are ideal for businesses who have these greater needs but don't need a full-time CFO or Controller. These customized service packages include items beyond bookkeeping such as forecasting/budgeting, strategic planning, financial modeling, margin analyses, cashflow forecasting and management, and more.

A common path for our clients is to hire us for a bookkeeping clean-up project, spend some time on one-on-one training calls, and then have us do quarterly reviews to ensure things stay on track. Our services are flexible and are always tailored to the client's needs.
