Cleanup & catch-up

Months Behind? Catch-Up Bookkeeping in Memphis, TN

Getting current in Memphis means more than filling gaps: every account reconciled period by period, statements restated, and a change log your CPA can follow.

  • Work done in period order so you see progress
  • Every account reconciled, period by period
  • Transfers no longer counted as income

Freight operators fall behind during peak periods, which means the missing months are the ones with the heaviest volume and the most volatile costs. Fuel and carrier charges moved substantially during the gap, and a flat reconstruction hides what actually happened.

What's included

What our service covers in Memphis

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

Period-end close

Each reconstructed period is closed properly rather than left open, so the next one starts from a fixed position.

Uncategorized backlog triage

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

Documented change log

Every correction recorded — what it was, what it became and why — so amended returns are defensible later.

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.

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.

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
  • Bookkeeping stopped when the person doing it left
  • You have been filing on estimates and want the real numbers

Volatile costs in the missing months

Reconstructing a freight backlog as a single averaged period conceals the thing worth knowing: whether margin moved because rates moved or because something in the operation changed.

We rebuild the volatile inputs on their own lines through the period, so the two causes are distinguishable once the reconstruction is finished.

Equipment finance is the recurring correction, as it is across the sector. Payments booked as a single expense throughout the backlog need splitting into interest, principal and depreciation before any of the restated figures can be relied on.

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 tell you plainly rather than filling the gap with guesses. You get a documented note of what could not be recovered and why, which is far more defensible than invented figures.
