Bring Your Books Up to Date in Houston, TX
Behind on bookkeeping in Houston, Texas? We reconstruct the backlog period by period for one fixed fee — quoted after a free assessment.
- A defensible record if returns need amending
- Every historical transaction reviewed, not bulk-guessed
- Owner draws separated from business expenses
Energy service businesses often fall behind during a downturn, when administrative help was the first cost cut, and then need the records urgently when activity returns and a lender or a customer asks for financials. The backlog spans exactly the period the business would rather not examine.
What our service covers in Houston
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Backlog assessment
We look at the actual file first — how many months, how many accounts, how much history is recoverable — before quoting a fixed fee.
Owner draw separation
Personal spending run through the business is identified and reclassified as draws, which usually changes the profit figure materially.
Payroll history reconciliation
Payroll runs, tax deposits and clearing accounts are reconciled for each period so wages and liabilities land where they belong.
Duplicate & miscoding removal
Owner draws booked as expenses, transfers recorded as income, the same charge entered twice — all found and corrected.
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.
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 Houston businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You want to start monthly bookkeeping but need a clean baseline first
- You are facing a filing deadline, a loan application or due diligence
- A previous bookkeeper left the file in poor shape
- You have filed on estimates you are not confident in
Reconstructing through a downturn
A period of falling activity produces accounts that are uncomfortable and informative in equal measure. The reconstruction is worth doing properly because it establishes the fixed cost floor — what the business spent simply to exist while revenue fell.
We separate fixed from variable costs across the reconstructed period, so that figure emerges from the work rather than having to be estimated afterwards.
For most owners that number turns out to be the most useful thing the catch-up produces, because it defines how long the next downturn is survivable.
