Are your books behind and getting heavier every month?

Book a Cleanup Diagnostic

The longer it sits, the more expensive and stressful it gets. I clean up messy, neglected books for established business owners — so you finally know what's real in your numbers and stop dreading tax time.

I love my Scottish heritage and one of the images that represent the Scottish people is the thistle. Strong, resilient, and never backing down from a challenge.

Thistle Guard is not prim and proper bookkeeping. It is roll-up-your-sleeves cleanup for real-world messes. I get in the weeds, reconcile what is off, and put simple guardrails in place so you do not end up back in the same spot.


Calm in the chaos. Scrappy enough to get it done.

Diagnostic Review

Before any cleanup begins, I perform a detailed review of your bookkeeping file to determine:

  • How many months need correction

  • The condition of reconciliations

  • Categorization errors or inconsistencies

  • Scope of work required

You’ll receive:

  • A written findings summary

  • A clear project quote

  • A prioritized action plan

The $450 diagnostic is credited toward your cleanup project if you move forward.
