Hey there, business owner. Are you behind on updating your books?
If your stomach just dropped a little at that question, it’s probably time to get some help with our catch-up and clean-up services. We’re glad you’re here!
Maybe it has been a hectic couple of months, and you just need some support to get back on track. Maybe a few ‘hectic months’ turned into a few years overnight, and now the idea of backfilling all that data is too daunting to think about. It doesn’t matter how long it has been – we won’t make you feel guilty for it! We’ll tell you exactly how to get your bookkeeping caught up, talk about what happens if you don’t, and offer the financial support you need to keep the business running.
Being Behind Costs More Than You Think
Falling behind doesn’t feel good. When the receipts start to pile up, it can be a big hit to your confidence. The looming knowledge that you have an ever-growing bookkeeping job to do is a cloud that can affect your sleep, stress levels, and ultimately how you run your company. Without numbers to inform decisions, you’re flying blind on cash flow, profitability, and what you can afford. Empty spreadsheets and blank quarterly reports mean business decisions get made based on vibes, not actual data.
The longer you stay behind on your bookkeeping, the harder it will be to recover. Memories fade, accessing old bank records can take more time, and the volume of paperwork to comb through just keeps growing. It may take an experienced, licensed bookkeeper to get you back on track. The hardest part is getting started, so contact All About Businesses when you’re ready to stop suffering and start catching up on your books!
Catch-Up Bookkeeping for Your Business
We start with an assessment of your current books, talk to you about your business, and get familiar with your existing workflow. Gather all your information, including bank and credit card statements, invoices, loan documents, and prior tax returns for us to look at. With that information in hand, we can start rebuilding your records by period and reconcile everything to match all your documentation. As we backfill your records, we’ll ensure every transaction is sorted correctly, help you stay eligible for the appropriate deduction, and have a clear picture of what your business is doing – in numbers. You can work with us just for a record clean-up or catch-up project or let us provide ongoing bookkeeping services after the project is done, but the important thing is that you don’t fall behind again! Part of our service includes helping you establish a system that you can maintain, so you don’t end up working with us for another bookkeeping catch-up service down the road!
Catch-Up Vs. Clean-Up
The experts at All About Businesses specialize in two related – but separate! – services. Bookkeeping catch-up projects, and clean-up of your books. If your numbers aren’t adding up, you’re finding errors, or you know that they haven’t been updated in a while, you’re probably ready for one of these services:
Catch-up: This service focuses on missing work. Your books exist, but the data stops at some point. Maybe you were keeping it up until the busy season hit, or you lost your old bookkeeper and haven’t had the time to pick up where they left off. Our work picks up where the records left off, helping you bring transactions and reconciliations up to date.
Clean-Up: This project focuses on incorrect work. Your books are probably up to date, but they’re wrong. Miscategorized transactions, accounts that don’t reconcile, duplicate entries, and other problems need to be corrected before the records can be brought current.
It’s possible you need both, and that’s quite normal. The first step for our team is to figure out what situation you’re in. Schedule a consultation with our experts now!
You’re Not Alone
Once you’re behind on your books, the biggest reason people stay behind is that the pile feels too big to start. That’s where All About Businesses comes in! Working with a professional bookkeeping and accounting firm, you have a place to hand over those big jobs to someone skilled who isn’t fazed by the task. When you work with a professional bookkeeper, you have peace of mind that your records are up to date and accurate, but when you’re handling all that data entry on top of actually running your business, you lose that reassurance in addition to your time.
We have helped businesses throughout the Pacific Northwest that were years behind, businesses that lost their accountant overnight, and businesses that just never had things set up right in the first place. Reach out to our team for a consultation. We’ll tell you honestly where you’re at, and what it will take to get current.
