FAQ – Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Common questions and answers about our catch-up bookkeeping services.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is catch-up bookkeeping?
Catch-up bookkeeping involves bringing your financial records up to date when you've fallen behind by months or years. It includes transaction categorization, reconciliations, and cleanup for prior periods.
How far back can RemoteBooksOnline go?
We can catch up any amount of backlogged bookkeeping — whether it’s 3 months, 12 months, or even multiple years. The older the records, the more care and time we apply to ensure accuracy.
How long does catch-up bookkeeping take?
Most catch-up projects are completed in a few days to a few weeks, depending on how many months of data we need to process and how quickly we receive your documentation.
What do I need to provide to get started?
You’ll need to send us your business bank statements, credit card statements, and access to any invoicing or expense tools you use. If you use QuickBooks or Xero, we’ll sync directly.
Can you fix errors from my previous bookkeeper?
Yes. We frequently review and clean up bookkeeping errors, including duplicate transactions, incorrect categories, unreconciled accounts, and incomplete reports.
Do you help with tax filings after catching up my books?
We do not file taxes, but we provide CPA-reviewed financials that are ready for your tax preparer. We can also refer you to trusted CPAs if needed.
Will my books be reviewed by a CPA?
Yes. Every catch-up project is reviewed by our internal CPA team before it’s finalized. This ensures your reports are accurate and tax-ready.
How much does catch-up bookkeeping cost?
Pricing depends on how many months need to be cleaned up and the volume of transactions. Most clients receive a flat-rate quote after we review your backlog. View pricing details
Can I switch to monthly service after catching up?
Absolutely. Once your books are up to date, we’ll transition you to our monthly bookkeeping service to keep everything current moving forward. Explore monthly options
Is my data secure during the catch-up process?
Yes. All data is transferred through encrypted channels and stored in secure environments. We use enterprise-grade security for all bookkeeping operations.
