QuickBooks Cleanup · Chicago

Books that finally tie out.

I find and fix the errors others miss — accounts that won't reconcile, opening balances that are off, and books that haven't been right in months.

Free assessment → fixed quote → no surprise bills.

What I fix

The problems that keep your numbers from matching.

If any of these sound familiar, they're exactly what I work on every day.

01

Bank and credit card reconciliations that don't match

02

Opening balance errors carried forward for months

03

Duplicate or misposted transactions

04

Books that haven't been touched in months — or years

05

Hidden posting mistakes that throw off your reports

06

Accounts that don't tie to your bank statements

Careful, documented cleanup — without disrupting your current books.

Hi, I'm Marijana — an accountant based in Chicago.

I work full-time in commercial property accounting, where the job is reconciling complex books down to the penny. No plug entries, no unexplained variances — every number has to be sourced and documented.

Lakeshore Ledger is where I bring that same standard to small businesses. I specialize in finding the errors others miss, because that's what I do every single day: bank reconciliations, GL analysis, and historical cleanups for commercial real estate portfolios.

My approach is detailed, discreet, and careful. I focus on restoring clarity — so you can trust your numbers again.

Let's get your books to tie out.

Send a short note about what isn't matching. You'll get a reply within 24–48 hours and a clear, no-pressure plan.
