FAQ

Common questions about book restoration.

We begin with a discovery conversation to understand your situation, then conduct a focused assessment of the affected periods and accounts. Based on findings, we define a clear scope of work and present it as a written proposal before any restoration begins.

Most projects are completed within two to four weeks, depending on the number of months affected, the complexity of accounts involved, and how quickly we receive source documents. Your proposal will include an estimated timeline.

If we uncover additional issues that fall outside the agreed scope, we pause and present a change order outlining the extra work and cost. No additional work is performed until you approve the updated scope and pricing.

You receive cleaned and reconciled books for the agreed periods, a summary of all corrections made, and a defined starting point from which ongoing bookkeeping can operate. This gives you and your CPA a reliable foundation to work from.
