Catch-Up Bookkeeping in Minneapolis, MN
A backlog does not fix itself by starting fresh next month. We reconstruct what is missing, correct what is wrong and restate every period we touch.
- Books a lender or CPA will accept
- Read-only access — we never move money
- A clear timeline delivered with the quote
Manufacturers and device suppliers that fall behind end up with the same fundamental question at the centre of the catch-up: what the inventory was actually worth at each period end. Every other number in the reconstruction depends on the answer.
What our service covers in Minneapolis
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
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.
Transaction-by-transaction review
Not sampled, not bulk-categorized by rule. Each transaction in the backlog is reviewed and coded correctly.
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.
Period-by-period reconciliation
Every bank account, credit card and processor is reconciled for each period, which is where the real errors surface.
Uncategorized backlog triage
Whatever has accumulated in uncategorized or suspense gets worked through, assigned where identifiable and listed where it needs your answer.
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 Minneapolis businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You have been filing on estimates and want the real numbers
- The software was set up but never really used
- Growth outpaced the admin and the books fell behind
- You genuinely do not know how far behind you are
The valuation question comes first
Inventory valuation is a judgement, and across a backlog it has to be one judgement applied consistently. Different bases applied to different months produce a period that cannot be compared with itself, which defeats the purpose of reconstructing it.
We agree the basis with you and your accountant before starting rather than deciding as we go, then apply it across the whole reconstruction.
Slow-moving and obsolete stock accumulated during the gap gets identified as part of the work, so a write-down is a decision you make rather than a surprise arriving at year end.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
No. Catch-up is a standalone project and plenty of clients take the finished books and manage from there. Most continue only because they would rather not repeat the exercise.
