Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services in Portland
Getting current in Portland means more than filling gaps: every account reconciled period by period, statements restated, and a change log your CPA can follow.
- Books a lender or CPA will accept
- Handed over CPA-ready with a full change log
- Every account reconciled, period by period
Businesses running both a product line and client work generate the most confusing backlogs locally, because two quite different accounting problems have been accumulating in the same ledger, and neither can be resolved without first being distinguished from the other.
What our service covers in Portland
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.
Duplicate & miscoding removal
Owner draws booked as expenses, transfers recorded as income, the same charge entered twice — all found and corrected.
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.
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.
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 Portland businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- You have filed on estimates you are not confident in
- You want monthly bookkeeping but need a baseline first
- Personal and business spending have run through one account
- You have been filing on estimates and want the real numbers
Two problems in one ledger
The product side needs inventory and cost of goods rebuilt. The client-work side needs costs matched to engagements. Attempted together in a single pass they interfere, and the resulting accounts describe neither activity properly.
We separate the two first, then reconstruct each on its own terms, allocating shared overheads on a basis agreed with you rather than one we assume.
The outcome is a view of whether the product line or the client work is carrying the business — which, for studios that have drifted into both, is usually the question underneath the request for a catch-up.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
We have not hit that limit — several years is routine. What matters more than the number of months is whether the underlying records can still be retrieved, and banks usually go back further than most owners expect.
