Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services in Los Angeles
You do not need to explain how you got behind. We rebuild the backlog period by period, reconcile every account and hand back books you can file from.
- One fixed quote after a free assessment
- Optional monthly bookkeeping once you are current
- Transfers no longer counted as income
Production freelancers and loan-out companies fall behind for a structural reason rather than a careless one. Work comes in bursts, and during a burst there is no time for anything except the work. A year later the records exist but nobody has ever sorted them into projects.
What our service covers in Los Angeles
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
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.
Uncategorized backlog triage
Whatever has accumulated in uncategorized or suspense gets worked through, assigned where identifiable and listed where it needs your answer.
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.
Missing period reconstruction
Where months are simply absent, we rebuild them from bank, card and processor statements rather than leaving a gap in the ledger.
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.
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 Los Angeles businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You have filed on estimates you are not confident in
- The software was set up but never really used
- You have multiple entities and only one is up to date
- You are anywhere from three months to several years behind
Rebuilding a year of project income
The usual state is a bank account with a year of deposits in it and no reliable link between any deposit and the job that produced it. Reconstructing that link is most of the work, and it matters because without it there is no way to know which projects were worth taking.
We rebuild from whatever the business does have — call sheets, contracts, invoices, correspondence — and match income to projects rather than to months.
Where personal and company money have run together, which is common in single-member companies, we separate them from a clean date forward and reconstruct backwards only as far as is genuinely useful.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
Then you may need cleanup as well as catch-up — the two are different jobs. We tell you which you need at the assessment rather than quoting for both by default.
