Bookkeeping that is three months behind is not a filing problem, it is a decision problem. You cannot tell whether a slow month is a blip or a pattern. We keep the books current so the answer is always there when you need it.
The same four things every month, on a schedule, so nothing accumulates into a crisis in April.
Every transaction coded consistently, so the same expense does not land in three different places.
Every account matched against the statement. This is the step most people skip and most errors hide in.
Unpaid invoices followed up on a schedule, because that is money you already earned.
A profit and loss, a balance sheet, and a short note in plain language about anything worth a look.
Nobody enjoys this work, which is exactly why it slides. It does not get lighter by waiting, and the cost is not really the catch-up bill. It is the six months you spent guessing.
This is the work that gets pushed to the weekend, then to next month, then to whenever the accountant asks. None of it is unusual and none of it is a reason to be embarrassed.
Bookkeeping software has had automatic categorization for years and it keeps improving. That is genuinely good, and it is not the same as your books being right.
Automatic categorization is not reconciliation. Most people find that out in April.
A rough estimate before you have to say the number out loud to anyone. No judgment attached, this is more common than you think.
This is a rough estimate from four inputs, so treat it as a range rather than a quote. Real catch-ups are often faster than the number above once we look, because the volume that matters is usually smaller than it feels. We give you a firm figure before starting anything.
If the books are the thing you keep meaning to sit down with on a Sunday, hand them over. This is the work that most reliably gets pushed and most reliably costs something.
We work with small independent businesses across North County San Diego, the Temecula Valley, and Colorado's Front Range.
Worth being completely clear about this before you call, because the line matters and plenty of firms are vague about it.
Most of our bookkeeping clients keep their accountant and use us for the monthly work in between. Accountants tend to prefer that arrangement, because clean books make their job faster and their invoice to you smaller.
Hourly for catch-up work, because the volume varies too much to price blind. A flat monthly rate once you are current.
Getting back to current. We look at the volume and give you a firm estimate before starting, so the number cannot run away.
