Behind on your books? You’re not alone. Many small business owners get overwhelmed managing daily operations, leaving financial records to pile up. But catch-up bookkeeping isn’t just about cleaning up-it’s about regaining control.
Delays in bookkeeping can:
- Complicate tax filing
- Hide cash flow problems
- Disrupt lender or investor reporting
- Lead to costly penalties
Timely catch-up services ensure you stay compliant and confident.
What’s Included in QuickBooks Catch-Up Bookkeeping
When you sign up for a catch-up bookkeeping service, here’s what you can expect:
- Historical transaction entry and categorization
- Bank and credit card reconciliations
- Fixing mismatches and duplicate entries
- Chart of accounts clean-up
- Financial reports (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)
You’ll receive month-by-month reconciliations, aligned with IRS and GAAP standards.
How Long Does Catch-Up Bookkeeping Take?
Timeframes depend on the volume and complexity of transactions:
| Months Behind | Typical Turnaround Time |
|---|---|
| 1–3 Months | 3–5 Business Days |
| 4–6 Months | 5–10 Business Days |
| 6–12 Months | 10–15 Business Days |
| 1+ Years | Custom Estimate |
The process is faster when you provide full access to statements, receipts, and your QuickBooks account.
