Bookkeeping cleanup
How Much Does a Bookkeeping Cleanup Cost?
What cleanups cost elsewhere, what makes them bigger, and how our $79 cleanup works.
Typical cleanup costs
| How far behind | Typical market price | BlueSkies, with monthly bookkeeping |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 3 months | $300 to $500 | $79 |
| 4 to 6 months | $750 to $1,500 | $79 |

Market ranges from published cleanup pricing at CPA and bookkeeping firms, October 2026. Businesses with payroll or an S-corp usually pay 30 to 50% more elsewhere.
What makes a cleanup bigger
With us, none of these change your price. They change how long the cleanup takes, so the faster you can get us statements and answers, the sooner your books are current.
Number of accounts
Every bank account and credit card has to be caught up and reconciled.
Mixed spending
Business and personal spending mixed together, including Cash App and Venmo, takes time to sort.
Missing paperwork
Missing receipts and statements have to be tracked down.
Payroll and subcontractors
Payroll, subs and 1099s add more to reconcile.
How far back can you go?
As far back as you need, for the same $79. If you're behind on tax filings too, we get the books ready first, then our partner CPA firm can handle the returns.
