plumbing bookkeeping cleanup
90 days of plumbing books reconciled and delivered — you approve every correction, nothing else required
Plumbers run on cash jobs, supply-house accounts at two or three vendors, and subcontractor payouts that drift out of sync fast. By month-end the books rarely match the bank. TeamShift pulls the last 90 days, reconciles every line against your bank feed, and produces a clean exceptions list for your review. You approve the corrections; the operation posts them reliably. You get clean books and a clear record of every decision — no bookkeeping work on your end.

The handoff is intentionally plain. TeamShift scopes the plumbing bookkeeping cleanup workflow, maps it to Books cleaned & reconciled, and shows you what will be gathered, drafted, sent, or held. Routine work can move quickly once the rules are approved. Pricing, scheduling promises, payments, account changes, and anything unclear come back to a person before it leaves the system.
Early-stage note: TeamShift is not using invented customer logos or made-up case studies. Named results will be published only after live customer work is complete and the customer approves the reference. Until then, these pages describe the operating workflow, the review gate, and the exact handoff you should expect.
The problem
Why plumbing books fall out of sync within weeks
Cash jobs get pocketed and logged late. Supply-house statements arrive after you have already paid them down.
- Cash collected on a service call is recorded days later, if at all.
- Supply-house accounts at Ferguson, Home Depot Pro, or a local vendor get paid faster than they get reconciled.
- Subcontractor payouts by check, Zelle, and card never reconcile the same way twice.
Workflow
How TeamShift reconciles 90 days against your bank feed
We map your sources first: the bank feed, your card processor, supply-house statements, and however you record sub payouts. Every transaction is matched to a ledger entry; the remainder lands in a clean exceptions list with a plain-language suggested fix.
- Map the bank feed, card processor, supply-house statements, and sub-payment records into one reconciliation run.
- Auto-match clean transactions; surface only the lines that do not reconcile.
- Group exceptions by type so your review takes minutes, not hours.
Delivered outcome
What you receive at the end of a cleanup cycle
You receive a single packet: matched transactions confirmed, a short exceptions list with a suggested fix for each line, and a log of every decision made. You approve, edit, or reject each fix; the operation runs from there.
- A complete review packet — not another login or tool to maintain.
- Each exception carries a suggested fix you approve, edit, or reject in one pass.
- You authorize every payment and correction; nothing moves without your explicit sign-off.
Proof
Why reconciled plumbing books are a durable search wedge
Plumbers search for bookkeeping help when the year-end crunch hits or a tax deadline looms, which makes this intent commercial and recurring. A page that explains exactly how cash jobs, supply-house accounts, and sub payouts get reconciled answers a real operational question that competitors gloss over.
- Bookkeeping-cleanup searches spike around tax season and year-end, recurring every cycle.
- Concrete reconciliation steps outrank thin pages that only promise tidy books.
- Internal links to monthly summaries and follow-up workflows reinforce topical authority.
Questions
Before you request it
How far back does TeamShift reconcile plumbing books?
TeamShift reconciles the last 90 days by default, matching every transaction in that window against your bank feed, card processor, and supply-house statements. Anything that does not match surfaces as an exception in your review packet. If you need a longer window for a tax or year-end cleanup, you scope that up front and the operation runs accordingly.
Does TeamShift make changes to my books on its own?
No. TeamShift produces a review packet with proposed corrections grouped by type. Nothing posts until you approve it. Every payment, write-off, and vendor dispute is routed to you first. You approve, edit, or reject each fix — then the operation executes exactly what you authorized, reliably, with a full log.
What do I need to provide to get my plumbing books cleaned?
Read access to your bank feed and card processor, your supply-house statements, and however you currently record subcontractor payouts. TeamShift maps those sources, runs the reconciliation, and delivers a matched set of books plus a short exceptions list ready for your review. You walk us through your setup during scoping so the operation knows exactly where to look.
