What you can rely on

Practical work, explained plainly.

This is a freelance service, so the work stays close to the person doing it. The standard is simple: leave the records more useful than they were found.

One clear owner

Your project is handled by Moses Mbasa, a finance-operations professional with experience working through reconciliation exceptions and unreliable spreadsheet records.

Evidence, not vague updates

You receive the cleaned file, an exception log, and a short handover summary so your team can see what changed and what still needs a decision.

Transparent before work begins

The estimate shows what informs the price. The final scope, delivery date, and payment terms are confirmed in writing before processing starts.

Simple pricing

Price reflects the work needed to make the records usable.

This estimate is designed for small-business exports. It separates the predictable parts of the work so you can see what changes the price.

Starting service Each service has a base scope and defined handover.
Record volume More rows take longer to validate, standardize, and review.
Data sources Matching files from multiple platforms adds comparison work.
Data condition Duplicates, missing references, and inconsistent formats require more checking.
Delivery speed Rush work is only available when capacity allows.

Build a planning estimate

Choose the closest description of your project. Final fixed scope is confirmed after a quick review of the files.

    How it works

    A calm, traceable route from raw exports to a usable result.

    01 / SCOPE

    Share the shape of the problem

    Tell us which exports you have, the timeframe, and what is not matching.

    02 / QUOTE

    Receive a fixed scope

    You receive a defined deliverable, timeline, and price before work begins. A secure Payoneer payment request follows approval.

    03 / CLEANUP

    Send exports securely

    We work from provided files and document the issues that require your confirmation.

    04 / HANDOVER

    Get clear next actions

    Receive your cleaned tracker, exception list, and a brief summary for follow-up.

    Working goals

    Make routine record work calmer, clearer, and easier to hand over.

    The goal is not to replace your accountant or make financial decisions for you. It is to give your business records that are organized enough to act on.

    01
    Restore visibility Turn scattered records into a tracker your team can understand.
    02
    Make exceptions visible Flag duplicates, missing references, and mismatches instead of hiding them.
    03
    Leave a repeatable process Use clear labels and handover notes so the next monthly review is easier.
    Safe handling

    Useful data work without asking for more access than we need.

    Your source files stay your source files. Our work is limited to the data required for the agreed cleanup.

    Questions

    Built to be straightforward.

    What files can I send?

    CSV and Excel exports are the ideal starting point. The scope review confirms which fields are needed before any work begins.

    Do you provide bookkeeping or tax advice?

    No. Clean Numbers Lab focuses on operational records cleanup, payment matching, and reporting support. Your accountant remains responsible for accounting, tax, and compliance decisions.

    How do payments work?

    Once the scope is approved, you receive a secure Payoneer payment request. Small fixed-price projects are normally paid upfront; larger projects normally use a 50% start deposit and 50% before final editable files are released.

    Where is Clean Numbers Lab based?

    Clean Numbers Lab is an independent freelance service operated remotely by Moses Mbasa in Nairobi, Kenya, serving English-speaking small businesses with remote-friendly spreadsheet and payment-record projects.

    How quickly can a project start?

    Small, well-defined cleanups can normally be scheduled quickly after the scope and source files are confirmed. Larger or unclear projects receive a separate estimate.
