What's Included

What's Included in
Every Catch-Up.

Catch-up bookkeeping isn't just data entry. It's a systematic process that touches every account, every period, and every inconsistency — so your books are accurate when we're done.

Complete Transaction Categorization

Every transaction across every period is reviewed, categorized, and assigned to the correct account. We use your actual business activity to determine categories — not guesses.

Full Account Reconciliation

Every bank account, credit card, and loan account is reconciled against statements for every month in the catch-up period. Every discrepancy is identified and resolved.

Chart of Accounts Review & Cleanup

Duplicate accounts, miscategorized items, and structural problems in your QuickBooks are fixed. You get a clean, logical account structure going forward.

Period-by-Period P&L Statements

Once catch-up is complete, we deliver profit and loss statements for each year or period covered — so you have a real financial history, not a black hole.

How It Works

Simple Process.
Fast Results.

Here's exactly what happens from your first call to completed work.

01

Free Assessment

We review your current books, identify the scope of the backlog, and give you a flat project quote. No hourly billing — you know the price before we start.

02

Secure Access Setup

You grant us access to QuickBooks Online and your bank statements. We handle everything from there — no need to export data or send spreadsheets.

03

Systematic Catch-Up

We work backward through each period, reconciling accounts and categorizing transactions. We flag anything that needs your input, but the bulk of the work happens without you.

04

Review & Handoff

We walk you through the completed books, deliver your financial reports, and either hand off to your CPA or begin your monthly service cycle.

Who It's For

Catch-Up Bookkeeping for
Every Situation.

Whether you've never had a bookkeeper or your last one left things in chaos, catch-up bookkeeping gets you back to solid ground.

📅

New Business Owners

  • Catch up on all missed months
  • Reconcile all business accounts
  • Categorize every transaction correctly
  • Prepare for first tax filing
  • Set up proper monthly system going forward
🔄

  • Audit existing books for errors
  • Correct miscategorized transactions
  • Fix chart of accounts structure

  • Establish clean baseline for new service
🧾

Sound Familiar?

The Real Cost of
Falling Behind.

Most business owners know their books are behind. What they underestimate is what that actually costs them in time, money, and missed opportunities.

😩

CPA Cleanup Charges

When your accountant has to reconcile 12 months of transactions to file your taxes, they charge accordingly — often hundreds or thousands in extra fees that clean books would have eliminated.

💸

Missed Deductions

Transactions that aren't categorized correctly don't show up as deductions. Behind books mean you're likely overpaying on taxes every year.

📊

No Real Financial Picture

Without accurate records, you can't know if your business is truly profitable. Decisions about hiring, pricing, and growth are made on gut instinct instead of facts.

Lost Time Every Tax Season

Spending January and February tracking down receipts, matching bank statements, and reconstructing a year of activity costs dozens of hours you'll never get back.
