Catch-Up & Cleanup Bookkeeping
Fallen behind? We'll bring your books up to date efficiently and without judgement, so you can move forward with confidence.
Overview
Falling behind on bookkeeping is far more common than most business owners admit. A busy season, a staff change, or simply avoiding the numbers can leave months — sometimes years — of unrecorded transactions. The good news: it's fixable, and you don't have to face it alone.
Catch-up bookkeeping is the process of bringing your books current from wherever they stalled. It starts with gathering every bank statement, credit card statement, and receipt for the missing period, then systematically reconciling each account to reality.
A frequent obstacle is format. Many businesses have years of PDF bank statements that aren't usable in accounting software. Converting those PDFs into clean Excel or CSV files is the first real step — and it's where most people give up. We handle that conversion for you.
Once transactions are digitized, we categorize them, match them to receipts, reconcile accounts, and produce the financial statements the CRA expects. If there are unfiled tax years, we handle those too — bringing everything current in one coordinated, judgment-free effort.
