Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services in Baltimore
A backlog does not fix itself by starting fresh next month. We reconstruct what is missing, correct what is wrong and restate every period we touch.
- A clear timeline delivered with the quote
- Work done in period order so you see progress
- Months or years of backlog rebuilt properly
Contract-funded businesses that fall behind face a specific risk. The numbers can be rebuilt from bank and supplier records without much difficulty. The supporting evidence tying each cost to its contract is a different matter, and it degrades quickly once people move on.
What our service covers in Baltimore
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Post-catch-up review call
A call at the end covering what the restated numbers show and what to do differently, so the backlog does not rebuild itself.
Sales tax figure preparation
We prepare the corrected sales tax figures for each backlog period and hand them to your CPA or tax preparer. We do not file the returns ourselves.
Period-end close
Each reconstructed period is closed properly rather than left open, so the next one starts from a fixed position.
Duplicate & miscoding removal
Owner draws booked as expenses, transfers recorded as income, the same charge entered twice — all found and corrected.
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.
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 Baltimore businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- Bookkeeping stopped when the person doing it left
- You have been filing on estimates and want the real numbers
- You have multiple entities and only one is up to date
- You are anywhere from three months to several years behind
Evidence decays faster than data
Bank records persist. The approval email, the delivery note, the note explaining why a cost was allocated a particular way — those disappear, and they are what a reviewer asks for.
We gather supporting documentation back into place alongside the reconstruction, prioritising the periods and contracts most likely to be examined, and we report plainly on where evidence no longer exists.
For the trades and building businesses we also see locally, the equivalent recovery task is job attribution rather than contract documentation, but the principle of naming the gaps holds either way.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Usually the same gap that caused it the first time — nobody owning the monthly close. The handover call covers what to change, and monthly bookkeeping is available if you would rather hand it over.
