Catch-Up Bookkeeping for Dallas Businesses
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 account reconciled, period by period
- Books a lender or CPA will accept
- One point of contact for the whole project
Property and development businesses produce backlogs that are less about missing data than about tangled data. Several entities, costs paid from whichever account had funds, and transfers between them that were never labelled as transfers. Everything is recorded somewhere; almost nothing is in the right place.
What our service covers in Dallas
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
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.
Transaction-by-transaction review
Not sampled, not bulk-categorized by rule. Each transaction in the backlog is reviewed and coded correctly.
Restated financial statements
You get a corrected profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow for every period, so you finally see what those years looked like.
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.
Period-by-period reconciliation
Every bank account, credit card and processor is reconciled for each period, which is where the real errors surface.
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 Dallas businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- The software was set up but never really used
- You are facing a filing deadline, a loan application or due diligence
- You genuinely do not know how far behind you are
- You have filed on estimates you are not confident in
Untangling entities
The reconstruction starts by identifying which movements were genuine expenses and which were money moving between entities the owner controls. Recorded as expenses, transfers make one entity look unprofitable and another look better than it is.
We reclassify those as inter-company balances across the whole backlog, so each entity ends with a real position and the balances between them agree.
Where costs were shared across projects, we allocate on a basis agreed with you rather than an assumed one, and apply it consistently through the reconstructed period.
