How it works

How remote cleanup works for a Houston business.

The same disciplined process used for every Poised Books client, whether you’re around the corner or across the country — nothing about it requires being in the same room.

01

Free discovery call

A conversation about your situation, how far behind the books are, and what a cleanup would involve — by video or phone, wherever you are in the Houston area.

02

Secure file review

You share read-only access to QuickBooks or Xero and your statements through a secure link. Nothing to mail, nothing to drop off.

03

Written scope and price

You get a clear scope and price in writing before any work begins — agreed up front, no surprise invoices.

04

The cleanup itself

Reconciliation, re-categorization, and correction happen remotely, with regular updates so you always know where the file stands.

05

Live walkthrough and handoff

A video call to review your clean books line by line, plus documentation your CPA or tax preparer can use immediately.

Who does the work

Every engagement is led by Elizabeth Olsen.

Elizabeth is a QuickBooks Advanced Certified ProAdvisor who serves Houston-area small businesses. She personally leads every cleanup — reconciliations, re-categorizations, and the judgment calls that come with fixing a file — rather than handing the work off to a team you never meet.

Pricing

Billed hourly, scoped before you commit.

Cleanup work is billed hourly based on the condition of your file, how many accounts are involved, and how far behind things are. Whatever the basis, you’ll see the scope and price in writing before any work starts — no surprise invoices, no monthly retainer.
