Cleanup & catch-up

Catch-Up Bookkeeping in Louisville, KY

Unfiled returns or unreconciled accounts piling up in Louisville? We get you current, with restated financials you can actually trust.

  • Transfers no longer counted as income
  • Optional monthly bookkeeping once you are current
  • A defensible record if returns need amending

Food and beverage producers carry a complication through a backlog that most businesses avoid entirely: stock that was made during the missing period and will not be sold for years. Establishing what it cost and where it sits is the substance of the work.

What's included

What our service covers in Louisville

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

Handover documentation

You get the change log, the decisions that needed judgement and the open items we could not resolve without you.

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.

Uncategorized backlog triage

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

Transfer cleanup

Money moved between your own accounts is a common source of phantom income. We identify transfers across the backlog and stop them inflating revenue.

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.

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
  • Bookkeeping stopped when the person doing it left
  • A lender or buyer has asked for statements you cannot produce
  • You have been filing on estimates and want the real numbers

Accounting for stock that has not moved

Product laid down during the missing months has accumulated cost — ingredients, labour, storage — and it is still sitting there. Treating those costs as expenses of the period they occurred understates the asset and overstates the loss.

We rebuild what was produced, what it cost to produce and how much remains, so the balance sheet reflects genuine value rather than an accumulated expense.

Holding costs across the backlog need a consistent basis too. We agree one with you and apply it across the whole reconstructed period rather than varying by month.

FAQ

Questions about this service

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

Yes, if you want us to. The change log is written so a CPA can follow it line by line, and we are happy to walk them through it directly.
