Cleanup & catch-up

Rebuild Years of Backlog in San Diego

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

  • Reconstructed from statements where receipts are missing
  • Every account reconciled, period by period
  • Backlog scoped on the real file, not estimated

Two very different backlogs turn up here. A research company that has spent grant or investor money for a year without organising the record of it. And a hospitality operator buried under transaction volume. The first is a reconstruction problem, the second is a processing one.

What's included

What our service covers in San Diego

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

Payroll history reconciliation

Payroll runs, tax deposits and clearing accounts are reconciled for each period so wages and liabilities land where they belong.

Sales tax figure preparation

We prepare the corrected sales tax figures for each backlog period and hand them to your CPA or tax preparer. We do not file the returns ourselves.

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.

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.

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.

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…

  • A previous bookkeeper left the file in poor shape
  • You have multiple entities and only one is up to date
  • You are switching accountants and need a clean handover
  • A lender or buyer has asked for statements you cannot produce

Two kinds of behind

For a funded company, the pressure is usually external — a board meeting or a funding round that needs a credible account of where the money went. The work is attribution: which spending belonged to which programme or funding source.

For a brewery or restaurant group the challenge is volume and reconciliation, with sales data, supplier invoices and bank activity that have drifted apart over months.

Both are recoverable. They need different sequencing, and being clear about which one you have prevents a lot of wasted effort at the start.

FAQ

Questions about this service

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

Each entity gets its own assessment and its own quote, since they are rarely behind by the same amount or in the same way. We keep the treatment consistent across them.
