Cleaning Up 8 Years of Inconsistent Records for a Newly Acquired CPA Practice

Briarstone Co. is a well-established CPA firm that recently acquired a smaller practice in a nearby city. The acquisition gave them access to a new client base – but also revealed a major issue: the books were a mess.

The acquired firm had inconsistent processes, outdated systems, and nearly a decade’s worth of disorganized financial records across dozens of client files.

To successfully integrate the new clients and prepare for year-end compliance, Briarstone needed to clean up eight full years of transactional data, reconciliations, and reporting inconsistencies.

Their internal team was already focused on existing client work. Taking on this backlog in-house would delay other operations and put upcoming tax deadlines at risk. They needed external support, but trusted hands only.

Briarstone partnered with Accountably to clean, organize, and standardize financial records across the acquired client accounts, without slowing down their ongoing business.
