Books cleanup and catch-up, handed back current

What you get

• A written findings note first: what's broken, what it's costing you and what I'd fix first
• Historical reconciliations completed and the ledger corrected
• A redesigned chart of accounts where the old one no longer fits the business
• A predictable monthly close going forward, with your team trained on the result rather than dependent on me for it

A comparable rebuild

At Horizons International, a U.S./Lebanon NGO, I moved finance from spreadsheets to QuickBooks Enterprise with a full chart of accounts tracking donor, project and intercompany activity, set up a repeatable monthly close, and delivered two clean external audits.

How an engagement runs

1. Intro Call. 20–30 minutes on your current stack, close timeline, and where the numbers stop being trustworthy. No charge, no pitch deck.
2. Books & Systems Review. I go through the ledger, the chart of accounts, and the workflows, then send back a written findings note: what's broken, what it's costing you, what I'd fix first.
3. Cleanup & Setup. Historical cleanup, reconciliations, COA redesign, and system implementation or migration — with your team trained on the result, not dependent on me for it.
4. Monthly Close & Reporting. A predictable monthly close with financials your leadership can act on, plus automation that keeps manual work from creeping back in.

Working hours

Core hours 3 PM – 11 PM Cairo = 8 AM – 4 PM U.S. Eastern. A full U.S. business day of live overlap, every working day — not just a handoff window.

Questions

Is this a one-off project or ongoing?

Either. I take on one-off cleanups, monthly accounting retainers, or a full-time remote seat on your team.

Which accounting software do you clean up?

QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Enterprise and Desktop, Xero, Oracle NetSuite and Zoho Books.

Can you support an audit or work with our CPA after the cleanup?

Yes. I prepare audit-support schedules and coordinate documentation with external CPAs.
