Catch-Up Bookkeeping in Columbus, OH
Unfiled returns or unreconciled accounts piling up in Columbus? We get you current, with restated financials you can actually trust.
- Handed over CPA-ready with a full change log
- Work done in period order so you see progress
- Backlog scoped on the real file, not estimated
E-commerce and fulfilment businesses accumulate a particular kind of backlog. Every marketplace deposit is a bundle of many orders net of fees, refunds and shipping, and if those bundles were recorded as revenue then months of sales and costs are both understated.
What our service covers in Columbus
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Transaction-by-transaction review
Not sampled, not bulk-categorized by rule. Each transaction in the backlog is reviewed and coded correctly.
Payroll history reconciliation
Payroll runs, tax deposits and clearing accounts are reconciled for each period so wages and liabilities land where they belong.
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.
Uncategorized backlog triage
Whatever has accumulated in uncategorized or suspense gets worked through, assigned where identifiable and listed where it needs your answer.
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 Columbus businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- A lender or buyer has asked for statements you cannot produce
- You have multiple entities and only one is up to date
- You genuinely do not know how far behind you are
- Accounts have not been reconciled in a year or more
Unpicking the settlements
Rebuilding means going back to the platform settlement reports and breaking each deposit into its parts — gross sales, commission, shipping, refunds — so revenue reflects what customers paid and the fees appear as the costs they are.
Across a year of backlog this usually changes both the revenue line and the cost lines substantially, while leaving profit closer to where it was. The numbers that move are the ones that inform decisions.
Where several channels ran at once, we separate them, since the point of the exercise is generally to work out which of them is actually worth the effort.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
