Your five-question health check

Rough answers are fine. "Not sure" counts honestly as a check that isn't confirmed.

Estimated read

— of 5 clear

Answer the five questions above for an honest read on your books.

How this is calculated — every number used
  • Each question has one healthy answer: Yes.
  • The score counts how many of the five checks pass — nothing else.
  • "Not sure" is treated as a check that isn't confirmed, not as a pass.
  • This is a self-check, not a diagnosis. A free read-only review confirms the real state of the file.

Why these five

What the checks mean

Each question maps to something a senior specialist checks first. Unreconciled accounts mean reports don't rest on real cash. A non-zero Opening Balance Equity balance means setup or an import left value parked in a temporary account. A stuck Undeposited Funds balance means deposits were recorded but never cleared to the bank. Books that aren't current, or reports that don't look right, usually mean a cleanup or catch-up is due.

Questions about the health score

How accurate is this score?

It's a self-check, not a diagnosis. It counts your own answers to five questions a specialist would ask first. A free read-only review is what actually confirms the state of your file.

Is anything I enter saved or sent?

No. The score is computed in your browser from your answers. Nothing is stored, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you choose to book a free review afterward.

What do I do with the result?

If most checks are off, a cleanup is likely — a free review scopes it. If they pass, you probably just want a second set of eyes. Either way the review is free and read-only.

What if I'm not sure how to answer?

Answer "Not sure" — the score treats it honestly as a check that isn't confirmed. Not knowing whether an account is reconciled is itself a common sign a cleanup would help.
