The backlog keeps growing
Every month you wait adds another month to reconstruct, and the records needed to do it get harder to find.
Catch-up & cleanup
For records that are months behind, or current but not trustworthy. We bring them up to date and tell you plainly what we found.
Four things we hear from owners before an engagement starts.
Every month you wait adds another month to reconstruct, and the records needed to do it get harder to find.
Decisions get made on a bank balance, because the statements are too far out of date to use.
A lender, an investor or a buyer wants financials, and the ones you have will not stand up to being read closely.
Something in the numbers is off, and nobody has been through them to say what, or why, or how far back it goes.
Scope is set by what the records need, which we establish before quoting rather than after.
However many months are missing, reconstructed and reconciled in order.
What was wrong, what it was changed to, and why. Nothing adjusted silently.
A defensible starting point, so the next twelve months are comparable.
Either to your own team, or into our monthly service.
Opening balances agreed, so the next twelve months are comparable with each other and with what came before.
What changed, what it was changed to, and why. Nothing adjusted silently.
You can look at a statement instead of a bank balance when something needs deciding.
To your own team or into our monthly service, with nothing left half finished.
Send a short message or book a conversation. You do not need to choose a service first.
Discuss your priorities and receive a proposal with clear responsibilities, deliverables and fixed fees.
Begin with the work that matters most, with a clear point of contact and a practical next step.
A fixed fee, agreed before the work starts. The estimator on the pricing page builds a number for your business.
Ranges, not quotes. Your fee is fixed in the proposal and depends on scope, volume and the state of your records. Above $20M in revenue we scope individually.
See pricingMost of the bank accounts had never been connected to the accounting system, so transactions had been entered by hand or imported from statements. On one account the large majority of lines carried no description at all. The statements agreed, and they agreed because balancing entries had been posted to make them agree.
What is wrong, how far back it goes, and which source records still exist. We price the work after that, not before, because nobody can scope a cleanup they have not looked at.
Account by account and month by month, rather than fixing the loudest problem first and discovering it depended on an earlier one.
What it was, what it was changed to, and why. Nothing adjusted silently, which matters most on the entries somebody will ask about later.
An opening balance that holds up. Agreed, documented, and defensible to an auditor or a funder who asks where the number came from. This engagement is anonymised: real situation, real work, and the figures that would identify the client left out.
Most engagements use more than one of these, and they are built to fit together.
Financial leadership for the decisions ahead.
Add senior oversight to the monthly close and reporting.
Keep the books current and close each month with confidence.
Make the work easier to manage and less dependent on you.
A cleanup can stand on its own. If it carries on into monthly work, the client portal comes with it, and the baseline we just agreed becomes the first month you can compare against. See what the client portal includes.
