I scope each engagement to a defined body of work and agree the deliverables and fee in writing beforehand. The descriptions below cover what is typically included; I adjust the scope to the circumstances.
Grant funding carries reporting obligations. Where the general ledger is not structured around donor restrictions, required reporting must be reconstructed manually each period.
Fieldwork delays frequently originate in schedules that were not tied to the trial balance in advance of the auditor's arrival.

Accounting records fall behind for predictable reasons, including staff turnover and growth that outpaces existing processes. The consequence generally surfaces when statements are requested by a lender, grantor or auditor.
QuickBooks files commonly accumulate inconsistencies over time, particularly where transaction entry has been handled without accounting oversight.
Revenue recognition and lease accounting questions are most efficiently resolved before a position is reflected in issued financial statements.
Tell me what you need, which system your records sit in, and when it has to be finished. I will reply with whether I can help and what it would cost.
