Cleanup & catch-up

Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services in Seattle

Behind on bookkeeping in Seattle, Washington? We reconstruct the backlog period by period for one fixed fee — quoted after a free assessment.

  • Reconstructed from statements where receipts are missing
  • A free assessment call before any fee is quoted
  • Work done in period order so you see progress

Seasonal operators and project-billing consultancies fall behind for opposite reasons and need opposite reconstructions. One misses the months of concentrated activity; the other loses track of which engagements consumed what. Both are common locally and neither responds well to a generic approach.

What's included

What our service covers in Seattle

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 a filing deadline coming and the books are not ready
  • You are switching accountants and need a clean handover
  • You are facing a filing deadline, a loan application or due diligence

Matching the reconstruction to the rhythm

A seasonal business needs the backlog rebuilt across the full cycle, because any individual month within it is either preparation or peak and describes nothing on its own.

A consultancy needs costs matched to engagements, since the question worth answering is which projects paid once time is counted, not what happened in March.

We establish which shape the business has before starting. Getting that wrong means reconstructing accurately into a format that cannot answer the question the owner actually has.
