It’s probably not the numbers.
It’s how things are being recorded.
In most cleanups I’ve worked on,
a big chunk of the issues come from process gaps — not math mistakes.
Last week, I checked a client’s books.
One vendor had a negative balance.
At first, everyone thought it was a software issue.
But when I looked closer,
it traced back to a single journal entry from 2022.
No bill. No proper vendor tracking.
Since then, things kept drifting.
By 2025, the reports just didn’t make sense anymore.
Here’s what I’ve learned:
Numbers usually tell the truth.
But the way we handle them can go off track quietly.
A negative vendor balance isn’t random.
It’s usually pointing to something that needs attention.
Good bookkeeping isn’t just fixing numbers.
It’s fixing how the system works.
