What Is Catch-Up Bookkeeping?

Catch-up bookkeeping means bringing your financial records current by:

  • Rebuilding missing transactions
  • Categorizing historical data
  • Reconciling accounts month-by-month
  • Generating tax-ready reports

We work directly in your QuickBooks account (or help you set one up) and assign a dedicated team to clean up your books.

Real Scenarios We Handle

  • 3 Months Behind: Usually due to seasonal work or switching systems.
    Turnaround time: ~5 days
  • 6 Months Behind: Common during expansion or tax prep delays.
    Turnaround time: ~7–10 days
  • 12+ Months Behind: Often leads to tax stress or IRS notices.
    Turnaround time: ~10–15 days

What’s the Process?

  1. Free Assessment – We review your backlog and provide a flat quote.
  2. QuickBooks Access – You grant secure access (or we help you set up your account).
  3. Cleanup & Catch-Up – Our bookkeeping team reconstructs your financials month-by-month.
  4. Delivery – We provide clean, reconciled reports for each month and prepare you for tax season.

Security & Compliance

  • All data handled securely via SOC-compliant protocols.
  • Reconciliation and reporting follow GAAP and IRS standards.
  • We never outsource to random freelancers — our team is experienced, consistent, and trained.

FAQs

Do I need QuickBooks already set up?

Is catch-up included in the $150/month plan?

No. Catch-up work is quoted separately based on how far behind you are and how many accounts need reconciliation.

Will I be ready for tax season after catch-up?

Yes. We provide all the reconciled reports and ledgers your CPA needs to file taxes.

Is ongoing monthly bookkeeping available after the catch-up?

Yes. After we get you current, we offer ongoing monthly bookkeeping at $150/month.
