Cleanup & catch-up

Catch-Up Bookkeeping for Nashville Businesses

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.

  • A free assessment call before any fee is quoted
  • One fixed quote after a free assessment
  • Owner draws separated from business expenses

Sole proprietors receiving income from several payers at irregular intervals fall behind almost inevitably. A year later there is a bank account full of payments of varying sizes from varying sources, and no record connecting any of them to what produced it.

What's included

What our service covers in Nashville

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

Period-by-period reconciliation

Every bank account, credit card and processor is reconciled for each period, which is where the real errors surface.

Period-end close

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

Documented change log

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

Vendor and customer rebuild

Where the lists were never maintained, we rebuild them so the restated reports break down by who you actually paid and who paid you.

Uncategorized backlog triage

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

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 want to start monthly bookkeeping but need a clean baseline first
  • Growth outpaced the admin and the books fell behind
  • Several years have gone by without a reconciliation
  • The software was set up but never really used

Rebuilding income by source

The total is the easy part and the least useful. What matters is the composition — which sources grew, which quietly declined, and which involved effort disproportionate to what they returned.

We rebuild income by payer and by type using statements and correspondence rather than bank descriptions, which are frequently uninformative or actively misleading.

Where payments relate to work done long before, we record them against the source rather than attempting to match them to a period that no longer means anything. For this kind of business, the source view is the one that supports a decision.

FAQ

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

Restated statements for every period we touched, the reconciled file itself, the documented change log, and a list of anything still open. The books are yours to keep running.
