Tucson QuickBooks Cleanup Firm Turns One With Free Bookkeeping Review

Two free 90-point QuickBooks audits a week show Southern Arizona business owners whether their books are clean and what errors cost them.

TUCSON, AZ, UNITED STATES, October 5, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Numbers Advisors, a QuickBooks cleanup service in Tucson, today announced a free 90-point QuickBooks audit for local small businesses to mark the firm's first anniversary. The bookkeeping firm opened on November 10, 2025, and serves business owners across Tucson, Oro Valley, Marana, and the Catalina Foothills.

The free bookkeeping review is a full 90-point QuickBooks audit, open to Southern Arizona businesses with $250,000 or more in annual revenue. Owner Philip Williams runs every review himself and caps the program at two businesses per week.

The Numbers Advisors launched on a simple idea: help business owners understand what's in their numbers, and explain those numbers in a way most owners have never heard them explained. One worry kept coming up. Owners don't know how to tell whether their books are clean, and they don't know how to tell whether a cleanup was done correctly. This kept business owners from paying for the bookkeeping audit.

"That doubt holds good businesses back," said Williams. "If you can't tell whether your books are right, you can't make a confident business decision with them. So we took the barrier away. As we start our second year, we're running two of these audits every week, free, so you know where you stand before you spend a dollar. Many industries give a free consultation, so why shouldn’t we?"

What the bookkeeping review covers

The diagnostic examines bank reconciliations, the profit and loss statement, the balance sheet, accounts receivable and payable, the chart of accounts, payroll mapping, and inventory. It also checks whether the books match the business's most recent tax return.

Each owner receives a plain-English breakdown of every issue found and an estimate of what those issues are likely costing in misstated financials, wasted time, or risk exposure. Williams then walks through the results with the owner. If the current bookkeeper or system is doing the job right, the review says so.

The same errors, file after file

Over its first year, The Numbers Advisors found the same handful of problems turning up in Tucson small business books:
Personal expenses running through the business account, understating real profit;
Equipment expensed instead of depreciated, distorting the P&L and misstating taxable income;
Loan proceeds recorded as income, inflating the taxes an owner thinks they owe;
Overstated revenue that reports as overstated profit;
Unpaid bills sitting in accounts payable and uncollected money in accounts receivable;
Bank reconciliations that don't tie to what’s happening in the books;
Taxes recorded in the wrong account.

"Most files I open have several of these stacked on top of each other," Williams said. "If your mechanic told you the brakes, the tires, and the alignment were all off, you wouldn't drive to Phoenix on them. Each problem on its own is fixable. Stacked together, they show up as a surprise tax bill, a declined loan, or an equipment purchase you couldn’t actually afford.”

Built by an operator

Williams founded The Numbers Advisors after a career running companies, including serving as CEO of a business that made the Inc. 5000 list three times. He's a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) and a QuickBooks ProAdvisor.

"I've been the guy chasing receivables on a Wednesday so payroll clears Friday," Williams said. "That's why I explain the numbers in plain language. Nobody should need an accounting degree to understand their own business."

The firm's core service is outsourced bookkeeping for small businesses in Tucson, along with QuickBooks cleanup and catch-up work for owners who've fallen behind. Every client receives monthly financial statements built to satisfy a lender and books ready for their tax preparer. The free review is a bookkeeping diagnostic, not a CPA financial statement audit, and the firm doesn't offer tax preparation or payroll services.

How to request a review

Tucson-area owners can request a free diagnostic through The Numbers Advisors website. Reviews are scheduled two per week on a first-come basis, and businesses under the $250,000 threshold receive an honest answer on fit during the initial call.

"You're going to find out what's wrong with your books eventually," Williams said. "Better to hear it from me, for free, than from a lender, a buyer, or the IRS."
