A $56k Xero cleanup, brought back to the truth.
A Sydney services business had books that no longer matched reality — the bank balance, the income and the invoices had all drifted. Here’s what the cleanup looked like, on a read-only copy.
Reconciled — and every change you can check
Done on a read-only copy of the data; the live system was never touched.
- $56k
- bank-balance variance closed
- 41
- duplicate invoices caught
- 124/140
- payouts reconciled to the cent
- Evidence
- behind every change
The bank is the truth — everything reconciles back to it
No black box: a clear method, with the working shown at every step.
Worked on a read-only copy
The live accounting system was never touched. Everything was investigated and rebuilt on a copy of the data.
Made the bank the truth
Every real bank deposit was traced to the invoice it actually paid — anything that didn't tie back was surfaced for review.
Reversed problems by name
Duplicates and phantom income were cancelled with offsetting, referenced entries — not hidden in a single blanket write-off.
Evidenced every change
Each correction carried the bank line behind it, so the owner and their accountant could check the work.
