Years behind on your books? We take that job.
Alacrity cleans up and reconciles messy QuickBooks files for contractors. Months behind, years behind, never reconciled. We fix the file, hand your CPA something they can work with, and close your books every month after.
QuickBooks Online. Flat quotes. A person checks every number.
Sound familiar?
- The bank app is your accounting system.
- QuickBooks shows $60,000 in Undeposited Funds and nobody knows why.
- Your CPA files an extension every year because of the books.
- The balance sheet has negative numbers you can't explain.
- You couldn't say which jobs made money last year.
That mess is the job we bid on. The worse the file, the more we can do for you.
How it works
- 010
Diagnostic
We open your QuickBooks file and map the damage: what's reconciled, what isn't, where the balance sheet breaks. You get a written punch list and a flat quote for the cleanup.
$1,500 · two weeks - 020
Cleanup and catch-up
We reconcile every bank, credit card, and loan account back to the last clean month. Chart of accounts rebuilt for a contractor. Undeposited Funds cleared. Balance sheet tied to your last filed return. Every month you're behind, caught up.
Flat quote after the diagnostic - 030
Monthly bookkeeping
Once the file is clean, we keep it that way. Transactions categorized, accounts reconciled, books closed by the 10th, and a report you can read: profit and loss, cash, job profit, who owes you.
Flat monthly rate
Start at 010. Stay for 030. That's the plan.
Who we serve
Owner-led trade contractors on QuickBooks Online, $1M to $15M: plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, excavation, remodelers, GCs, landscaping. We know retainage, progress billing, and job costing. Under $1M, or running a mature ERP with a controller? We'll tell you on the call and point you somewhere better.
Why the mess doesn't scare us
Two of us have close to thirty years each in contractor finance and QuickBooks. The third spent a decade managing construction and energy projects in the field. We've rebuilt files other firms refused to open. And to be clear about lanes: your CPA does taxes. We hand them a clean file to work from. Most CPAs love us for it.
