Preparing To Sell A Business

Clean up the books before buyers price the mess.

Unreconciled accounts, unsupported owner activity, stale balances, and inconsistent reports create questions during diligence. ClearClose starts with a $49 written review so you know what needs attention before buyers do.

What slows a sale

A profitable business can still have weak financial support.

Tax returns, bank activity, internal reports, and the accounting file may tell different stories. The first job is finding where the records need explanation or correction.

Risk

Balances do not reconcile.

Cash, cards, loans, payroll liabilities, inventory, or clearing accounts may contain old differences.

Risk

Add-backs lack support.

Owner expenses and one-time costs need records and consistent treatment before they become part of a buyer conversation.

Risk

Reports change by source.

Monthly statements, tax returns, spreadsheets, and system reports should not require a new explanation every time.

What you receive

Three priority risks and a practical action list.

The review is diagnostic. It does not provide a valuation, audit, assurance opinion, quality-of-earnings report, completed cleanup, or tax return.

Common questions

Know what happens before cleanup.

Do I need QuickBooks?

No. ClearClose can review another accounting system, spreadsheets, exports, or a documented bank-statement workflow.

Does the $49 review clean up the books?

No. It identifies the priority risks and provides a written next-step list. Cleanup receives a separate scope.

Is this a valuation or quality-of-earnings report?

No. It is a bookkeeping risk review, not valuation, audit, assurance, or transaction advisory work.

Can my broker or adviser receive the findings?

Yes, after you authorize the recipient and the appropriate secure sharing method.
