Cleanup & catch-up

Catch-Up Bookkeeping in El Paso, TX

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.

  • A clear timeline delivered with the quote
  • One point of contact for the whole project
  • Work done in period order so you see progress

Cross-border businesses that fall behind accumulate a backlog with more moving parts than a domestic one. Duties, customs charges, freight and currency differences all need attributing to specific shipments, and a year later the paperwork connecting them has usually scattered.

What's included

What our service covers in El Paso

Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.

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.

Loan and interest split

Loan payments booked as a single expense are separated into principal and interest, so the balance sheet and the profit figure both become true.

Uncategorized backlog triage

Whatever has accumulated in uncategorized or suspense gets worked through, assigned where identifiable and listed where it needs your answer.

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.

Lender-ready statement pack

If the catch-up is for a loan or a sale, we assemble the restated statements into the pack the other side will ask for.

How it runs

What happens after you get in touch

Only the first step needs anything from you.

1

Free assessment call

We look at the file together and establish the real scope — months behind, accounts involved, condition of the records. No judgment.

2

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.

3

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.

Good fit

This is a good fit if…

  • You are facing a filing deadline, a loan application or due diligence
  • Personal and business spending have run through one account
  • You are switching accountants and need a clean handover
  • You want monthly bookkeeping but need a baseline first

Rebuilding landed cost

The useful output of a trade catch-up is landed cost per shipment — what a consignment actually cost once duty, customs handling and freight are counted. Reconstructed as monthly totals, that figure never emerges and margin per shipment stays unknown.

We rebuild against consignments using customs and freight documentation rather than bank activity alone.

Currency is the second layer. Transactions restated at the rates that actually applied produce settlement differences in the periods they arose, rather than one adjustment at year end that conceals when the exposure occurred.

FAQ

Questions about this service

Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.

We can rebuild the books and document the corrections, which is what those situations need. We are bookkeepers rather than representatives, so we do not deal with the authority on your behalf.
