Bookkeeping Cleanup and Catch-Up

Our Bookkeeping Cleanup and Catch-Up service is for the moments when you look at your books and feel overwhelmed, behind, or simply unsure what is accurate anymore. We step in calmly and systematically to untangle the past, repair the gaps, and bring everything current.

We start with historical data reconciliation, reviewing past bank and credit card statements, matching them to recorded activity, and identifying what is missing. From there, we handle backlog transaction entry, capturing missed or overdue income and expenses, and categorizing them correctly so your records reflect what really happened in your business. As we work, we focus on thorough error correction. We locate duplicated entries, misapplied payments, and incorrect categorizations that can distort your profit, sales tax, and tax liabilities. When earlier periods need adjustments, we perform prior period adjustments carefully, aligning your books with reality while preserving a clear audit trail.

A key piece of any cleanup is your chart of accounts. We review and refine it so it is logical, lean, and aligned with how your business actually operates. This makes your reports easier to read and much more useful for tax preparation, lenders, and your own decision-making.

Throughout the process, we maintain a non-judgmental, confidential approach. Many clients come to us months or years behind; this is exactly the kind of work we are built to handle. By the end of the engagement, you move from messy, incomplete records to organized, reliable books that you, your CPA, and any external stakeholders can trust. You regain control, reduce stress around deadlines, and have a solid starting point for staying current going forward.
