Margins Stop Lying
Costs sitting in the wrong category make some parts of the business look profitable and others look worse than they are. Both errors cost you money.

Get Your History Telling The Truth Again
When transactions have been coded to the wrong accounts for months, every report built on top of them is wrong too. That is fixable, and it is mostly mechanical.

A file can be complete and still be wrong. Every transaction present, every month closed, and a profit and loss that describes a business you do not recognise, because the coding underneath it has been drifting for a year.
Reclassification is the work of putting those entries back where they belong. It is detailed rather than difficult, and the result is a history that finally agrees with what you know happened.
- Miscoded transactions moved to the accounts they belong in
- Duplicate entries identified and removed
- Undeposited funds cleared and matched to real deposits
- Transfers between accounts stopped from counting as income
- Owner draws and contributions separated from operating results
What Reclassification Changes
The Balance Sheet Settles
Once loans, draws and transfers are recorded properly, the balance sheet stops carrying figures nobody can explain.
Comparisons Become Possible
Year on year only means something if both years were coded the same way. Consistency is half the value of the work.
How Far Back Is Worth Going
This is the question that decides the size of the job, and the honest answer depends on what the history is for. If a lender is going to read two years of statements, two years need to be right. If you simply want next quarter to be trustworthy, a shorter reach can be the sensible call.
We give you the options with the trade-offs attached rather than defaulting to the largest version of the work. Then the boundary goes in writing so there are no surprises in either direction.
Preventing The Next Round
Most miscoding comes from a small number of repeating causes: a rule written too broadly, a chart of accounts that never matched the business, or a bank feed pointed at the wrong ledger. We fix the cause, not only the symptom.
After that, the file needs somebody to keep an eye on it. Whether that is us on a monthly cycle or you with a short list of things to check, the point is that the correction holds.
