🚀 Getting Started
Everything you need to know about getting started with our bookkeeping services.
Is a file review required before starting?
Yes. A file review ($250 flat fee) is required before any ongoing bookkeeping or cleanup work begins. This ensures accurate scoping and fair pricing.
What does the file review include?
You’ll receive a structured review of your QuickBooks Online file, identification of errors, gaps, and inconsistencies, a clear summary of findings, and recommended next steps and scope of work.
Does the file review include corrections?
No. The review identifies issues but does not include clean-up work. It provides clarity, even if you choose not to proceed further.
How do I get started with Clearbook Ledgers?
The first step is to book a consultation. We’ll discuss your situation, answer your questions, and determine whether our services are the right fit for your business.

What is catch-up or clean-up bookkeeping?
