Bookkeeping Backlog Cleanup in Raleigh
Unfiled returns or unreconciled accounts piling up in Raleigh? We get you current, with restated financials you can actually trust.
- Handed over CPA-ready with a full change log
- Books a lender or CPA will accept
- Every historical transaction reviewed, not bulk-guessed
Research and technology companies usually discover a backlog because something external forces the discovery — a board request, a funding round, a prospective acquirer. The reconstruction therefore has to satisfy a reader who is looking for reasons to doubt it.
What our service covers in Raleigh
Everything below is part of the engagement — no surprise add-ons.
Uncategorized backlog triage
Whatever has accumulated in uncategorized or suspense gets worked through, assigned where identifiable and listed where it needs your answer.
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.
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.
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.
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 Raleigh businesses choose Feather Accounting
This is a good fit if…
- Bookkeeping stopped when the person doing it left
- The software was set up but never really used
- You want monthly bookkeeping but need a baseline first
- A previous bookkeeper left the file in poor shape
Rebuilt to be examined
When the output will be scrutinised, the standard is consistency across the whole reconstructed period rather than each month simply balancing. Reviewers test whether the same treatment was applied throughout, and a basis that shifts is what draws attention.
We restate the full period on one basis and record the judgements made, so the reasoning exists in writing when the question arrives.
We are also explicit about what the underlying records can and cannot support. A gap identified in advance is a manageable conversation; the same gap found by a reviewer is not.
Questions about this service
Anything we have not covered, ask on the call — it is free and there is no follow-up sequence.
We will tell you honestly at the assessment whether your deadline is achievable for the scope involved. We would rather decline than promise a date we cannot hit.
