Sound familiar?

The wedding / event planning business bookkeeping problems we fix every week:

💍

Client deposits booked as income

Retainers for next season spent this season — the classic planner cash trap.

🧾

Vendor pass-throughs distort revenue

Money that flows through you to venues and florists inflates revenue and hides your real fee.

📆

Per-event profit unknown

Without event-level tracking you can’t tell a dream client from a loss-maker.

Free assessment

We review your books and give you a fixed plan and price. We separate retainers from earned income, net out vendor pass-throughs, and set up per-event profitability tracking.

3

We clean it up

Backlog cleared, every account reconciled, and a before/after report you (and your CPA) can act on.

The Wedding / Event Planning Business Books Cleanup Package

We separate retainers from earned income, net out vendor pass-throughs, and set up per-event profitability tracking.

Full diagnostic review

Every account reconciled and every anomaly documented before we change a thing.

Catch-up categorization

The backlog cleared with industry-correct categories — not a generic chart of accounts.

Clean handoff report

A before/after summary and simple monthly rhythm so it stays clean.

If our assessment can’t show you exactly what’s wrong and what it costs to fix, the assessment costs you nothing — no obligation either way.

Common questions

How long does a cleanup take?

Most cleanups finish in 2–4 weeks depending on backlog size and account volume.

What does it cost?

Fixed fee, quoted after the free assessment — based on months behind, accounts, and transaction volume. No hourly surprises.

Do you replace my CPA?

No — we make your CPA’s job easier (and often cheaper) by handing them clean, reconciled books.

Can you track profitability per event?

Yes — projects/classes per event, with retainers held as liabilities until earned.

Will you judge the mess?

Never. Messy books are a symptom of a busy business. Fixing them is literally what we do all day.

What happens after the cleanup?

You get a simple monthly closing rhythm — keep it in-house or have us maintain it. Your choice, no lock-in.
