Get Your Books Back on Track—Without Becoming Your Own Bookkeeper
We clean up disorganized books, identify what needs attention, and give you a clear picture of your finances so you can make better business decisions
Bookkeeping That Gives Back
We’re proud to support the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Out of the Darkness Walk in Grand Rapids on October 11, 2026.
Through September 30, 2026, VanDusen Bookkeeping will donate 10% of fees collected from new client bookkeeping catch-up/cleanup projects to this fundraiser.
When you choose us for a new cleanup project, you are not only taking a step toward more reliable books—you are also helping support suicide prevention in our community.
Donations will be made to Christopher VanDusen’s American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Out of the Darkness Walk fundraiser.
Why Accurate Bookkeeping Matters Beyond Tax Season
We are the difference between data entry and professional bookkeeping
We review your books so that they make sense, not just record transactions
We ensure your books reflect what actually happens in the business
A Problem With One Of Our First Clients
One of our first bookkeeping clients came to us with records prepared by a previous bookkeeper.
For more than two years, both the credit card purchases and the payments toward the credit card were being recorded as expenses. That meant the same spending could be counted twice.
We identified the problem and corrected the bookkeeping before it created a much larger issue. This is why accurate bookkeeping matters. It’s not just about entering transactions—it’s about understanding what each transaction actually represents.
Books Back on Track
If your bookkeeping is behind or you’re not confident in the numbers, we’ll review the records, identify what needs attention, and bring the books current.
You’ll receive a clear scope, realistic timeline, and regular updates throughout the process. Once the cleanup is complete, you’ll have reliable books and a clear starting point for ongoing financial management.
Small Clean-up
•Fewer than 12 months behind
•Fewer than 600 transactions
•Usually takes about 2 weeks
Large Clean-up
•12 to 30 months behind
•600 to 1500 transactions
•Usually takes about 4 weeks

To provide careful, focused service, VanDusen Pro limits the amount of new bookkeeping cleanup work we accept each month. Each month, we reserve capacity for approximately:
• 3 small clean-ups
• 1 large clean-up and 1 small clean-up
• or 1 complex clean-up
Low-Friction Clean-up
You don’t need to become a bookkeeper to get your books back on track.
We give you a simple checklist of the records and access we need
We handle the review, clean-up, categorization, and reconciliation
We keep you updated on our progress, but send an organized list of questions at the end instead of interrupting you constantly
We finalize the reports and set up a meeting to go over everything with you
