If you’ve been avoiding your Etsy bookkeeping, you’re not alone.
Most sellers don’t mean to let things slide—they just get busy creating, shipping, and trying to keep up with the constant rhythm of running a handmade business.
But here’s the problem: what starts as “I’ll catch up next week” can snowball into months of missing data, confusing deposits, and one big headache at tax time.
That’s where our Cleanup Packages come in.
Let me walk you through what they include, who they’re for, and how they help you get your books—and your peace of mind—back on track.
1. What Is a Cleanup?
A cleanup is exactly what it sounds like: we untangle your financial records, reconcile your Etsy payouts, and organize your numbers into a clear, accurate bookkeeping system.
You’ll finally understand what you earned, what you spent, and what’s left over.
Most clients come to us because:
They haven’t recorded Etsy income all year.
Their deposits don’t match their dashboard.
They’re not sure how to track Etsy fees, shipping labels, or ads.
They’re getting ready for tax season—or an IRS letter has them panicking.
Whatever the reason, a cleanup turns chaos into clarity.
2. What’s Included in Every Etsy Cleanup Package
Each package is designed for sellers with up to 100 transactions per month (that’s most small handmade shops).
Here’s what we do:
✅ Categorize Transactions
We go through your Etsy sales, fees, shipping labels, and ad costs—month by month. Every dollar is assigned to the right category.
✅ Reconcile Accounts
We match your Etsy payouts to your bank deposits so your books tell the same story your bank does.
✅ Generate Financial Reports
You’ll get a clear Profit & Loss Statement showing your total sales, total expenses, and actual profit.
✅ Guidance for Going Forward
We don’t just hand you a report—we explain how to keep it clean. You’ll get simple tips on how to maintain your books each month using Excel (no complicated software required).
3. Our Cleanup Pricing (Simple, Transparent, No Fluff)
Our one-time Etsy cleanup services are priced by how many months you need caught up:
3 months (up to 100 transactions/month): $175
4–6 months: $350
7–9 months: $525
10–12 months: $700
All payments are due up front, and you’ll receive your completed cleanup package in 1–2 weeks (rush options available for an additional fee).
After cleanup, you can also choose to stay on with our monthly bookkeeping services, starting at $125/month, so you never fall behind again.
4. Who It’s For
Our Cleanup Packages are built for:
Etsy sellers who want clean books before tax time.
Creative entrepreneurs who’ve mixed business and personal spending.
DIY shop owners who started tracking manually but got lost in the details.
Florida makers and crafters who want local, one-on-one guidance.
If your goal is to feel confident showing your numbers to your tax preparer—or even just to yourself—you’re in the right place.
5. Why It Matters (From a Former IRS Agent’s View)
During my years with the IRS, I saw firsthand how small errors in bookkeeping can cause big stress later.
When your Etsy books are clear and reconciled:
You can prove your income if the IRS ever asks.
You can claim all your deductions without missing fees or shipping costs.
You can sleep better knowing your business is audit-ready.
This isn’t just about compliance—it’s about control.

7. Bonus: You’ll Learn What Your Numbers Really Mean
One of the best parts of every cleanup? The “aha” moments.
Clients often discover:
Which listings are most profitable
How much Etsy fees are really costing them
What months their sales spike (and slow)
Whether pricing adjustments are needed
Once you see the full picture, you can make smarter, more confident decisions for your business.
Messy books don’t mean you’re bad at business—they just mean you’ve been busy running one.
A cleanup is your reset button. It gives you clear, accurate numbers so you can make the next year your most profitable yet.
