Backlog bookkeeping
We process unrecorded transactions across previous weeks, months or financial periods, organizing available records and working through outstanding activity systematically.
Behind on your books? Let’s get them back on track.
We bring overdue, incomplete or inconsistent records up to date and give you a reliable foundation for ongoing accounting.
Catch up. Clean up. Move forward.
Reconstruct the past. Restore financial clarity.
Our catch-up and clean-up services address historical gaps and recordkeeping issues, using an approach tailored to the condition of your books and the periods that need attention.
Historical bank and credit card reconciliation
We reconcile prior-period bank and card statements to your records, identify unmatched transactions and investigate discrepancies to support accurate balances.
Transaction review and reclassification
We review historical income, expenses and transfers to find misclassifications, duplicate entries and incorrect account coding.
Accounts payable and receivable cleanup
We review outstanding vendor bills, customer invoices, unapplied payments and aged balances to find duplicates, missing transactions and items that need clarification.
General ledger cleanup
We examine ledger accounts for unusual balances, duplicate postings and suspense items, then prepare proposed corrections and document issues for review or approval.
Opening balance verification
We check opening balances and prior-period carryforwards against statements, schedules and supporting records to find discrepancies that affect the current period.
Historical journal entry review
We examine existing journal entries and documentation for errors, unsupported adjustments and inconsistencies, and prepare proposed corrections for your approval.
Multi-period catch-up projects
We process multiple months or periods in a defined sequence, with clear priorities and period-by-period review checkpoints for a controlled recovery.
Post-cleanup reporting and handover
We prepare updated reconciliations, adjusted trial balances, financial reports and supporting schedules as a dependable starting point for ongoing bookkeeping, tax preparation or review.

Scope the work around the number of periods, the condition of your books, transaction volume and the extent of the cleanup.
Minimal disruption to operations
We coordinate around agreed workflows and reporting requirements, so historical corrections can run alongside ongoing accounting where appropriate.
