What's Included
We rebuild your books from wherever they stopped — and hand you a clean monthly cycle.
3-24 months backlog cleanup
We reconstruct months of missing books, working forward from your last reliable point. Bank statements, invoices and receipts become a proper ledger again.
Messy record reorganization
We rebuild your chart of accounts, reclassify miscoded transactions and eliminate suspense balances. What comes out is a clean, logical set of books.
FTA audit preparation
Historical records are made defensible: every material balance supported, every period reconciled. If the FTA comes knocking, your records hold up.
Provider switching support
We manage a clean handover from your previous accountant: taking over the data, identifying what's missing, and getting you onto a proper monthly cycle without gaps.
How It Works
From assessment to a clean monthly cycle in four steps.
Free Corporate Tax Readiness Assessment
We look at the state of your records and tell you honestly how far behind you are and what it will take to fix.
Backlog scoping and document collection
We scope the missing months and collect every source document available — statements, invoices, bills, receipts.
Month-by-month reconstruction
We rebuild each month in sequence, reconciling as we go so errors don't compound.
Reconciliation and handover to monthly cycle
Final reconciliations, a clean opening position, and handover into the regular monthly bookkeeping rhythm.
Who Is This For
For businesses whose books fell behind — whatever the reason.
- Businesses that are 3 to 24 months behind on their books
- Companies switching accountants mid-year with incomplete records
- Firms facing an FTA notice with messy historical records
- Businesses that need clean records before corporate tax filing
Frequently Asked Questions
How far back can you reconstruct our books?
We routinely rebuild 3 to 24 months; beyond that, feasibility depends on available source documents, with bank statements usually the backbone. We tell you upfront what can and cannot be reconstructed before you commit.
What documents do you need from us?
Bank statements for every month in the backlog are the minimum, plus sales invoices, purchase bills, expense receipts and any existing ledgers or trial balances. We provide a structured collection checklist and work through the gaps with you.
How long does a 12-month cleanup take?
A typical 12-month backlog with reasonable documentation takes four to eight weeks. Messier records or missing documents extend that — we scope it after the assessment and commit to a timeline.
Is cleanup priced as a project or monthly?
Cleanup is a fixed-fee project priced on the months and complexity involved — you know the cost before we start. Once the backlog is clear, you move onto the standard monthly bookkeeping plan.
