Based in Santa Clarita
We clean up the books for Santa Clarita businesses that fell behind — contractors slammed through a busy season, shops that never quite kept up, owners who inherited a mess from the last bookkeeper. Call during business hours and you'll hear back the same day, whether it's February or July. We're open year-round, and you reach us directly.
What we do
From a mess to a clean baseline
A cleanup is a defined project: we take your books from wherever they are — behind, tangled, or never reconciled — to an accurate, tax-ready baseline, for a flat price quoted before we start.
The cleanup
The work of getting you back to accurate.
- Reconcile every bank and credit-card account
- Fix miscategorized and duplicate transactions
- Separate personal spending from business
- Rebuild missing months from your statements
- Correct the chart of accounts
What you're left with
A clean handoff you can build on.
- Accurate profit-and-loss and balance sheet
- Books that tie out through the last month
- A file that's ready for the tax return
- A short summary of what we fixed
- The option to keep it maintained monthly
The situations we see most in Santa Clarita
A lot of our work looks like this: a couple of years behind with taxes now due. A lender or investor asking for current statements you don't have. A business that switched bookkeepers and inherited a mess. A DIY setup that slowly drifted out of tune. If any of those is you, this is exactly the job we do.
Why people stay
What you can expect
The same-day rule
Call or email during business hours and you'll hear back the same day. That is how we run the firm. If we ever miss it, say so and your next consultation is on us.
No lectures
Messy books are the normal starting point for a cleanup, not a character flaw. We fix them and move on — you won't get a lecture about how far behind you got.
A clean handoff
You leave with reconciled books and a clear summary of what changed. Keep them yourself from there, or have us run them monthly — your call, no pressure.
Communication
You'll know exactly where the cleanup stands.
The worst part of being behind is not knowing how bad it actually is. So we scope the whole thing first — how many months, how many accounts, how tangled — and put a fixed price on it before any work starts. Then we keep you posted. Specifically:
- — Every call and email answered the same business day, all twelve months
- — A fixed scope and price agreed before we touch anything
- — Progress updates as accounts get reconciled and months close
- — A direct line to the person doing the work — not a queue
It sounds basic. It's also what clients mention most in our reviews.
The NTTA Tax Group team
We're a small Santa Clarita team — bookkeeping, payroll, tax planning, and IRS representation specialists — built on a simple observation: people rarely leave an accountant over the numbers. They leave over the silence. Our rule: you always know where the work stands, in March and in October alike.

What we handle
Cleanups we take on all the time
Years behind, taxes due
Two or three years of books never closed, and the returns are now overdue. We reconcile each year in order, get you to accurate, and hand it straight to the tax side so the filings can catch up too.
A lender wants current statements
A loan or a line of credit is on the table and the bank needs a real P&L and balance sheet — fast. We prioritize the cleanup around your deadline and tell you up front whether it's reachable.
Inherited a mess
You changed bookkeepers, or DIY drifted, and now the file is full of duplicates and mystery categories. We untangle it, correct the chart of accounts, and get you back to a version you can trust.
Where we work
Serving all of Santa Clarita
Valencia, Saugus, Canyon Country, Newhall, Stevenson Ranch, Castaic — if you're in the valley, you're local to us. We also clean up books for clients across the San Fernando Valley.
FAQ
Questions we get
How far behind can you catch me up?
As far back as you need — a few months, a couple of years, or a QuickBooks file that never got reconciled. We pull statements, reconstruct what's missing, and work forward to a clean baseline. Nothing you bring us is a first for us.
My books are a real mess. Is that a problem?
No — messy is the normal starting point for a cleanup. Mixed personal and business spending, miscategorized transactions, duplicate entries, a year of receipts in a shoebox. We sort it out, and there's no lecture about how it got that way.
How much does a cleanup cost?
A flat project fee, quoted in writing before we start — based on how many months and accounts need work and how tangled they are. We scope it first so the number doesn't move, and you approve it before any work begins.
How long does a cleanup take?
It depends on the backlog, but most cleanups run a few weeks. If there's a hard deadline — a tax filing, a loan application, an audit — tell us and we'll tell you honestly whether we can hit it before we start.
What do I get at the end?
A set of reconciled books through the last correct month — an accurate profit-and-loss and balance sheet — plus a short summary of what we fixed. From there you can keep them yourself or have us maintain them monthly.
Do you clean up QuickBooks, or move me to it?
Both. We clean up an existing QuickBooks Online file, or set one up and migrate you if you're on spreadsheets or something that isn't working. We'll tell you honestly which is the better use of your money.
Let's get your books caught up.
