About this episode
Alicia walks through her systematic approach to year-end cleanup, explaining why many business owners' books contain errors that go unnoticed until tax time. She covers the most common trouble spots—from duplicate revenue in undeposited funds to improperly categorized transactions—and demonstrates how to use QuickBooks' built-in tools like the Reclassify feature and Report Options to fix problems at their source rather than just making adjusting journal entries. The episode emphasizes why proper cleanup matters: automations and banking feeds learn from past behavior, so correcting the underlying transactions prevents the same mistakes from recurring year after year.
