How this estimate works

Transparent math, not a black box.

We don’t hide the methodology. The same factors that drive your estimate here are the ones we use to scope the real engagement after a file review.

01

Six real cost drivers

How long a cleanup takes comes down to recency (how far behind), transaction volume, the number of accounts to reconcile, how tangled personal and business finances are, payroll, and whether multi-channel e-commerce or inventory is involved. This tool weighs each the way we do.

02

Anchored to a realistic floor

There is a minimum amount of work in any cleanup — reconciling, re-categorizing, and producing tax-ready statements properly. The estimate starts there and scales with complexity, going open-ended once a file is large enough that a range would be false precision.

03

No surprise invoices

The output here is a planning range in hours. Cleanup is billed hourly, because the condition of the file decides how much work there is. After a free review of your actual file we agree the estimate and the rate with you, and you approve it before anything starts.
