Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Months behind on your books? Let’s fix that.

Maybe you meant to keep up and life got busy. Maybe you’ve never really done it at all. Either way, we catch your bookkeeping all the way up, month by month, until you’re current, accurate, and finally ready for tax season instead of dreading it.

Why it matters

What falling behind is quietly costing you

Missing bookkeeping isn’t just a backlog. It’s decisions made blind and risks piling up while you’re not looking.

  • You’re running your business on guesses, with no real view of profit or cash flow.
  • Tax deadlines turn into a panic, with late filings and missed deductions on the table.
  • A loan, sale, or investor conversation stalls because you can’t produce clean financials.
  • The longer it sits, the bigger the job gets, and the more it weighs on you.
How it works

From behind to current, one month at a time

We don’t just plug in numbers. We rebuild each month properly so the catch-up books are ones you can actually use and file from.

See the scope

We start with a Health Check to see how many months and accounts are behind, so the plan and the price are based on your real file, not an estimate.

Work month by month

We reconcile accounts, categorize transactions, and build out each missing month in order, all the way up to the present.

Hand back current books

You get accurate, tax-ready financials through today, plus the option to stay current with ongoing monthly bookkeeping so you never fall behind again.

Questions

Catch-up bookkeeping, answered

How many months or years can you catch up?

As many as you need. We regularly catch up files that are one, two, or more years behind. The Health Check tells us exactly how many months are missing so we can map out the work and the cost up front.

What’s the difference between catch-up and cleanup?

Catch-up is for books that haven’t been done, where months are simply missing. Cleanup is for books that exist but are full of errors. Many businesses need a bit of both, and the Health Check tells us which.

How much does catch-up bookkeeping cost?

It depends on how many months are behind and how many accounts are involved, which is why we start with the $97 Health Check instead of guessing. After we review your file, you get a clear, fixed scope and price before any work begins.

Will you keep my books current after catching up?

If you’d like. Once you’re current, moving into ongoing monthly bookkeeping is the easiest way to stay there, but the catch-up project stands on its own and there’s no obligation to continue.

What do I need to provide?

Mainly access to your QuickBooks Online file and your bank and credit card statements for the months being caught up. Everything is handled securely online through our client portal. No office visits, no paper.

The backlog isn’t going anywhere on its own.
