Your messy P&L isn't a paperwork problem — it's a 4x discount waiting at the diligence table.

Clean it in this sequence before you breathe a word to buyers:
— Move to accrual or at least consistent cash basis — pick one and never mix.
— Separate every personal transaction out; mixed books make a buyer assume the worst about all of it.
— Categorize revenue by source so concentration is visible (yes, show it — hiding it is worse).
— Reconcile every month against the payment processor and affiliate dashboards, line by line.
Clean books close deals. Messy books invite re-trades.
Think buyers don't notice sloppy books? They build their offer on exactly that.
