Bookkeeping Cleanup & Catch-Up

Months or years behind? This is the specialty.

Remote bookkeeping — monthly close, cleanup, and books ready for your CPA.

Behind books get worse in a specific way: the longer they sit, the less anyone remembers what a transaction was, and the more the guesswork compounds. Two years back, nobody can tell a legitimate expense from an owner draw without a lot of reconstruction.

Fixed price, quoted first

We review, then quote. You approve a number before any work starts — no hourly surprises.

Oldest period first

We work forward chronologically so each period closes on a correct opening balance.

Personal separated from business

Commingled spending untangled and owner draws routed correctly, which is most of the real work.

Gaps named, not papered over

Where records genuinely do not exist, we tell you plainly instead of inventing a plug.

What we handle

  • Review the current state and quote a fixed price before any work begins
  • Rebuild or repair the chart of accounts
  • Categorize and reconcile every open period, oldest first
  • Separate personal from business activity and route owner draws correctly
  • Produce corrected financial statements for each closed period

Problems this fixes

  • Years of uncategorized or miscategorized activity
  • Accounts that have never been reconciled to a statement
  • Duplicate transactions from a bad bank feed or a botched import
  • Prior-period balances nobody can explain

What you end up with

You come out current, with a fixed price you agreed to up front and no hourly surprises. Most clients then move onto a monthly package so it does not happen again.

We keep the books. You run the business.

Categorization, reconciliation, month-end close, and clean financial statements — with nothing left for you to chase.

Bookkeeping Cleanup & Catch-Up — Frequently Asked Questions

How much does cleanup cost?

+
It is always quoted at a fixed price after a short no-obligation review, because scope varies enormously. Most projects land between $350 and $7,500 depending on how far behind you are, how many accounts are involved, and how tangled the starting point is.

How long does it take?

+
A few months behind on two accounts can be days. Multi-year, multi-entity cleanups run weeks. You get a timeline with the quote.

What if I do not have all the records?

+
Common, and workable. We reconstruct from bank and card statements and tell you plainly where a gap remains rather than papering over it.
