Findings
Bank reconciliation not completed since September 2024 High
Checking and merchant accounts show a combined $6,240 discrepancy between bank statements and QuickBooks balances. Your P and L is unreliable until this is resolved. Tax prep on unreconciled books carries audit exposure.
Source: QuickBooks reconciliation log, accessed March 2026
$6,240 gap
63 uncategorized transactions across 26 months High
63 expenses sitting in Uncategorized Expense with no category assigned — supply purchases, equipment deposits, continuing education. None of these can be used for deductions in their current state.
Estimated deductible value: $3,100 to $4,200 based on visible descriptions
Est. $3,800
Personal and business expenses mixed across accounts High
19 transactions identified as likely personal recorded as business expenses. This inflates your expense total and is a direct audit liability. Each needs to be reviewed and either reclassified or removed.
Combined value of flagged transactions: $1,340
$1,340 exposure
Treatment revenue not tracked by service line High
All revenue recorded under a single income account. You cannot see which treatments generate the most profit. Pricing decisions and staff allocation are operating on guesswork.
Operational impact: prevents margin analysis by service type
Operational
Duplicate vendor payments detected Medium
4 vendors show duplicate entries on the same date for identical amounts. Two vendors have not been contacted about potential refunds.
At-risk total: $780 across 4 vendors
$780 at risk
Accounts receivable aged over 90 days Medium
$1,620 in outstanding balances not followed up in over 90 days. Three invoices from Q2 2024 appear to have been abandoned entirely.
$1,620 outstanding across 3 clients
$1,620 outstanding
Medical supply costs not separated from general operating expenses Medium
Injectable and consumable supply costs categorized under general supplies. Your accountant cannot build a proper P and L without this separation.
Tax exposure
Equipment depreciation not recorded Low
Laser and aesthetic equipment purchases appear to have been expensed in full rather than depreciated. May need correction and could affect prior year filings.
Review needed
Membership revenue not deferred correctly Low
Monthly membership payments recorded as income in full at time of charge rather than deferred across the service period. May overstate revenue in some months and understate it in others.
Reporting risk
Recovery Opportunity Summary
Issue Estimated Value Priority Recoverable

Recommendations
1
Reconcile all accounts back to September 2024.
Start with the primary checking account, then the merchant processing account. Nothing else is reliable until reconciliation is complete.
2
Categorize all 63 uncategorized transactions.
Many of these are deductible. Sitting in uncategorized they are invisible to your accountant. You are overpaying taxes because of this.
3
Remove and reclassify personal expenses.
Each of the 19 flagged transactions needs a clear business purpose note if legitimate, or full removal if personal. Mixed expenses are the most common audit trigger for small medical practices.
4
Rebuild the chart of accounts for a med spa.
Separate income accounts by treatment line. Separate COGS by consumable category. This unlocks margin visibility you currently do not have.
5
Contact vendors regarding potential duplicate payments.
Verify whether the 4 flagged entries represent actual double payments. If confirmed, pursue refunds immediately.
Next Steps

This diagnostic identified 9 issues including a $6,240 bank discrepancy, an estimated $4,800 in recoverable deductions and overpayments, and structural gaps in how Lumina tracks revenue and costs. Your current books cannot be used reliably for tax prep, margin analysis, or growth decisions.

A full cleanup will reconcile all accounts, categorize all transactions, remove personal expenses, rebuild the chart of accounts for a med spa, and hand back a clean P and L ready for your accountant and your own decisions.
