3 Phases
Diagnose & Design, Build & Implement, and Stabilize & Optimize. A structured process to get your books back on track.
What is The Financial Overhaul?
The Financial Overhaul isn’t just a bookkeeping cleanup. It’s a three-phase process designed to identify what’s broken, streamline how your financial records are managed, and bring your books back into order.
We organize, correct, and reconcile your bookkeeping records, giving you clearer financial information and books you can provide to your accountant for tax preparation and filing.
Are your books running rough?
You are great at the work. The books are the part that waits until Sunday night. Receipts live in the truck. Invoices go out late, so money comes in late. The GST deadline shows up as a surprise. Somebody at home is doing the books as a second job, and nobody is sure the numbers are right.
That is not a people problem. It is a system problem. You have parts from five different places bolted together, and no one ever built the whole machine. Patching one piece at a time is why it keeps breaking.
Three warning lights we see most:
- Bank and credit card accounts not reconciled for months.
- Invoices built in Word or on paper, then retyped into QuickBooks.
- No monthly numbers you trust enough to price a job or hire a helper.
Our bookkeeping clean-up: 3 phases, 9 steps
We do not start by fixing things. We start by putting your business up on the hoist and looking at everything. Then we rebuild in order, so each step holds the next one up.

Is the Overhaul right for you?
A good fit if you:
- Run a trades or service business on South Vancouver Island.
- Have 1 to 10 people on the crew, or plan to.
- Know your books are behind or messy and want them fixed once.
- Are ready to use QuickBooks Online.
Not a fit if you:
- Sell on Amazon, Etsy, or Shopify.
- Run a craft brewery or non-profit organization.
- Are primarily looking for the cheapest monthly rate.
- Are not ready to change how your paperwork gets done.
Questions before you book
How long does it take?
It depends on how far behind the books are. You get a written timeline with your quote, and most of the time goes into Phase 2.
Do I have to switch to QuickBooks Online?
Yes. The whole system is built in QuickBooks Online. If you use QuickBooks Desktop or spreadsheets, moving you over is part of the Overhaul.
Do you do my taxes?
No. We do not prepare personal or corporate tax returns. We focus on cleaning up, reconciling, and organizing your books so you can provide accurate financial records to your accountant for tax preparation and filing.
What if I am years behind?
That is common. Catch-up and reconciliation happen in Phase 3, after the new system is in place, so the old mess does not creep back in.
Who does the work?
Melanie Jury personally leads every Financial Overhaul, supported by our experienced bookkeeping team throughout the process.
