Months or years behind on accounting? We’ll catch you up in weeks.
Drowning in unrecorded transactions? We clean up accounting backlogs fast
Are months, or years, of invoices, receipts and bank statements piling up? Worried about an upcoming audit or tax deadline? We record the financial transactions that never made it into your books — unpaid invoices sitting in folders, bank statements unreconciled for months, receipts and expenses not entered, payroll records out of date, incomplete tax records. Think of it like unopened mail piling up on a desk: the longer you wait, the bigger the problem becomes.

Frequently asked questions
How long does backlog cleanup take?
Most standard backlogs are cleared within two weeks. Larger or multi-entity backlogs run 15–30 days. Emergency work for an imminent audit or FTA deadline can be turned around in 3–5 days.
Will you find mistakes from previous accountants?
Often, yes. We correct them and tell you plainly what was wrong — no blame, just a clean set of books.
Can you help if we’re facing an FTA audit?
Yes. Priority backlog work, all overdue returns filed, and support on reducing penalties where possible.
Do you work at our office or yours?
Either. Most clients send documents to us and get weekly updates; we can also work on site if you prefer.
What accounting software do you work with?
QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, Tally and Wave, plus custom ERP systems. If you don’t have software, we’ll set it up.
Will my information be kept confidential?
Yes. Signed non-disclosure agreements, encrypted storage and access limited to the team on your file.
What happens after the backlog is updated?
You get clean books, a monthly checklist, configured software and staff training. Optional ongoing bookkeeping is available.
Can you handle several companies at once?
Yes. We run entities in parallel and produce consolidated reporting at the end.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how far behind you are and the transaction volume. You get a fixed-price quote after a free assessment, before any work starts.
How do I get started?
Book a free assessment. We’ll review where you stand, give you a timeline and quote a fixed price.
