# Bookkeeping health check

Free tool

This bookkeeping health check asks ten yes-or-no questions about your books, from reconciled bank accounts to a documented close, and scores the answers out of 100 with a short explanation of what each gap costs. Answer honestly; the score is private and calculated in your browser.

Updated September 2026

## How the calculator works

Each yes scores 10 points. 90 to 100 means the books are decision-ready; 60 to 80 means the basics are there but cash or compliance risk is hiding in the gaps; below 60 usually means a catch-up or clean-up project before a monthly service will work.

## Assumptions and sources

- The questions mirror the checks in LedgerBPO's Two-Tier Review, so a low score shows where a dedicated team would start.
- The score is an indicator, not an audit. Nothing you enter is sent anywhere unless you choose to request a quote.

## What to do with your result

Below 60: start with catch-up or clean-up. 60 to 80: the monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation services close the gaps. Above 80: reporting and controller review are the next step.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is my score stored or sent?

No. The score is calculated in your browser and is not sent to us unless you click through to request a quote and choose to mention it.

### What does a score below 60 mean?

Several basics are missing at once, usually unreconciled accounts and uncategorized transactions. Monthly bookkeeping on top of that backlog rarely works; a catch-up bookkeeping project brings the file current first.

### Why does someone else need to review the close?

A second set of eyes catches miscodings, duplicate bills and missed accruals before they reach your tax return or lender. It is the reason LedgerBPO runs a Two-Tier Review on every close.

### How often should I take the health check?

Quarterly. Books drift as the business changes: a new sales channel, a second entity or a new payroll provider each adds a reconciliation that did not exist before.
