Core bookkeeping
Catch-up bookkeeping
Historical months brought up to date from source statements and documents, after the outstanding period is identified.
Who it suits
Businesses that have fallen behind and can supply statements and source documents for the missing months.
The problem it addresses
A monthly package price does not describe the work in a file that is months or years behind.
Included
- A quoted range of months
- Coding and reconciliation for those months
- A list of records that are still missing
Excluded
- An unlimited history
- Invented transactions where source records do not exist
- Lodgement of past activity statements
What you need to supply
- The months that are outstanding
- Bank statements
- Invoices, bills and payroll reports where relevant
- The current reconciliation status
How it is delivered
Months are processed in order. Gaps stay open. The quote can be revised if the file is in worse condition than described.
Pricing
One-off quote based on months, volume and file condition. Not included in the monthly packages.
One-off, staged if the backlog is long. The stages and amounts are shown before you accept.
Turnaround and dependencies
Set in the quote. A large backlog is not promised for the same turnaround as a current month.
- Source statements
- Agreement on the first and last month
When a person needs to assess the file
Always required before a price is accepted.
Professional limits
Catch-up reconstructs records from sources. It is not an audit and it does not amend lodged returns.
How to purchase
Use the catch-up enquiry or the plan builder. You will be asked which periods are outstanding before a price is confirmed.
Build a planQuestions
Can you start the monthly service before catch-up finishes?
Sometimes, if the opening position is clear enough. That decision is made explicitly and does not hide the unfinished months.
