Bookkeeping cleanup and catch-up details and preparation
What this service may cover
- A catch-up project may enter missing transactions and reconcile earlier periods. Cleanup may investigate duplicate entries, inconsistent categories or unexplained balances.
- Ask whether the initial review, opening-balance corrections and final financial reports are included. Ongoing monthly bookkeeping can be a separate engagement.
- If records are needed by your accountant or tax preparer, agree the handoff and target date with both parties. Bookkeeping support does not automatically include preparing or amending returns.
What to prepare
- List the months or years that need attention and the last period you believe was reconciled.
- Gather statements for relevant bank, credit-card and loan accounts, plus existing bookkeeping reports and transaction exports.
- Note known errors, missing documents, business changes and transactions that need explanation.
- Tell the provider which accounting software you use and any agreed reporting or tax-preparer deadlines.
Questions to ask a provider
- Does the quote cover missing entries, corrections, reconciliations and final reports, or only part of that work?
- What information is needed before you can confirm the scope, price and completion date?
- How will you document adjustments, unresolved questions and the transition to regular bookkeeping?
