Diagnostic Review

Our Bookkeeping Diagnostic Review helps uncover what’s happening in your books and what it will take to clean them up and move forward with clarity.

One-time Service

A Smart First Step Toward Clean, Confident Books

Take the guesswork out of your finances. Our Diagnostic Review is designed to give you a clear snapshot of your financial records. We look beyond surface-level checks to identify gaps, errors, and opportunities for improvement. This one-time service is ideal if your books are behind, inconsistent, or you’re unsure where things stand.

The Diagnostic Review costs $199. This fee is non-refundable. If you decide to continue with a clean-up project or monthly bookkeeping, the $199 will be applied to your first invoice, so you won’t pay extra.

It keeps your records cleaner, simplifies tax time, and makes ongoing bookkeeping much easier.
