An accounting clean-up is a thorough financial review and reconciliation process designed to correct outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate bookkeeping records. It involves reconciling bank accounts, recategorizing transactions, rectifying past ledger errors, and producing audit-ready financial statements to restore clear visibility into corporate health.
