Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services in Austin, Texas
If the books stopped somewhere in the past and never restarted, we pick up from there — every transaction reviewed individually rather than bulk-coded by rule.
- Every historical transaction reviewed, not bulk-guessed
- A free assessment call before any fee is quoted
- One fixed quote after a free assessment
Companies that grew quickly fall behind quietly, because in the middle of growth nobody is looking at last quarter. The backlog is usually discovered at a moment of pressure — a raise, a lender, a tax filing — and the setup underneath it stopped fitting some time ago.
What our service covers in Austin
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Statement retrieval guidance
Banks hold history further back than most owners expect. We tell you exactly what to request and from whom so the reconstruction can go as far back as it needs to.
Uncategorized backlog triage
Whatever has accumulated in uncategorized or suspense gets worked through, assigned where identifiable and listed where it needs your answer.
Transfer cleanup
Money moved between your own accounts is a common source of phantom income. We identify transfers across the backlog and stop them inflating revenue.
Owner draw separation
Personal spending run through the business is identified and reclassified as draws, which usually changes the profit figure materially.
Handover documentation
You get the change log, the decisions that needed judgement and the open items we could not resolve without you.
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 Austin businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want monthly bookkeeping but need a baseline first
- You are switching accountants and need a clean handover
- A lender or buyer has asked for statements you cannot produce
- Accounts have not been reconciled in a year or more
Behind and outgrown at once
Two things are wrong simultaneously: the records are not current, and the structure they would be reconstructed into no longer matches the business.
Fixing only the first produces a complete set of accounts that still cannot show which part of the business makes money. We establish the structure first and reconstruct into it, so the backlog is handled once.
Contractor payments are the other recurring gap. Where a business has scaled on contractors without recording consistently against each payee, we rebuild that as part of the work so the information exists when it is needed.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Restated statements for every period we touched, the reconciled file itself, the documented change log, and a list of anything still open. The books are yours to keep running.
