Rebuild Years of Backlog in Atlanta
You do not need to explain how you got behind. We rebuild the backlog period by period, reconcile every account and hand back books you can file from.
- A clear timeline delivered with the quote
- One point of contact for the whole project
- Optional monthly bookkeeping once you are current
Freight brokers and production companies fall behind mid-project, and the records reflect it. Costs arrive for weeks after a load is delivered or a shoot wraps, so a backlog is not simply late data entry — it contains jobs that were never properly closed in the first place.
What our service covers in Atlanta
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Backlog assessment
We look at the actual file first — how many months, how many accounts, how much history is recoverable — before quoting a fixed fee.
Documented change log
Every correction recorded — what it was, what it became and why — so amended returns are defensible later.
Opening balance verification
A catch-up is only as good as the balance it starts from. We verify the opening position rather than assuming the last closed period was correct.
Prior-year comparison rebuild
Once the periods are restated we rebuild the comparatives, so you can finally see the trend across the years that were missing.
Period-end close
Each reconstructed period is closed properly rather than left open, so the next one starts from a fixed position.
What happens after you get in touch
Only the first step needs anything from you.
Free assessment call
We look at the file together and establish the real scope — months behind, accounts involved, condition of the records. No judgment.
One fixed quote
A single flat fee for the whole project before any work starts. It does not move unless you ask us to expand the scope.
We rebuild, then hand over
The backlog is reconstructed period by period, reconciled and documented. At the end you get corrected statements, the change log and a file your CPA can work from.
Why Atlanta businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- Bookkeeping stopped when the person doing it left
- You have filed on estimates you are not confident in
- You have a filing deadline coming and the books are not ready
- The software was set up but never really used
Closing jobs that were never closed
The reconstruction question is not which month a cost belongs to but which job. A late invoice booked to the month it arrived rather than the production it belonged to leaves both periods wrong and the job margin permanently unknowable.
We reopen the jobs, attach the costs that belong to them, and close them properly, so each one ends with a real margin.
That frequently produces the first honest view a business has had of which work actually paid, which tends to matter more to the owner than the compliance side of catching up.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
We tell you plainly rather than filling the gap with guesses. You get a documented note of what could not be recovered and why, which is far more defensible than invented figures.
