Catch-up bookkeeping
Get your books current, with a flat quote first.
If your books are months or years behind, the first step is to identify the missing periods and the records available. Aldro reviews the work and gives you a flat quote to categorize and reconcile the agreed periods. You can then continue with monthly bookkeeping or take the completed financials to your tax preparer.
What the service covers
A defined backlog
We start with the last completed month, the accounts involved and the records available. This gives the catch-up work a clear beginning and end.
Reconciled historical books
Missing periods are rebuilt from the available business records, categorized and reconciled. Financial statements are prepared for the periods covered by the quote.
A route forward
Once your books are current, move into monthly bookkeeping at $20 a month if you want ongoing help. Business tax filing can also be discussed as a separate service.
What we need to get started
These details help us understand the missing periods and prepare a flat price for the catch-up work. Start with the short form; we can discuss the records later.
Please keep tax documents, identification, account passwords and bank details out of the public enquiry form.
Use the free bookkeeping handover checklist- The last month your books were completed and reconciled.
- The business bank, credit card and payment-processing accounts involved.
- Whether you have statements and existing accounting records for the missing periods.
- Any filing dates, unfiled returns or other time constraints to discuss.
Questions about catch-up bookkeeping
How much does catch-up bookkeeping cost?
It is quoted after a review of the accounts, records and periods involved. The $20 monthly bookkeeping price is for ongoing service, not a blanket price for rebuilding historical books.
Can you help if I am more than a year behind?
Yes, you can request a quote for multiple missing years. Tell us which periods are involved and what records you have so the team can assess the work before committing to a price or timeline.
Does a catch-up quote include filing old tax returns?
Bookkeeping and tax filing are separate services. Mention any unfiled returns when you enquire, and confirm the exact return preparation and filing work in your quote.
What should I do before the introductory call?
Make a list of the accounts and missing months. You do not need to put statements, tax documents or sensitive account details into the public enquiry form. Ask the team how to share records after the scope is discussed.
