Get Your Books Up to Date With Accurate, Organized Financial Records
Gotten behind on your bookkeeping?
Our catch-up bookkeeping services help your Hawaii small business organize its past financial activity, correct errors, reconcile accounts, and produce reliable financial reports.
Whether your books are a few months or even several years behind, we can work through the missing period(s) so you can move forward with accurate, current financial information.
What Our Catch-Up Service Includes
Catch-up bookkeeping is more than just entering old transactions. We review your financial records, identify any missing information, and rebuild your books month by month.
Our process includes steps, such as:
- Collecting your bank, credit card, and loan statements
- Reviewing your existing QuickBooks – or other software – records
- Entering missing income & expenses
- Categorizing your transactions correctly
- Matching customer payments, invoices, bills, and deposits
- Identifying transfers between accounts
- Correcting duplicate or incorrectly entered transactions
- Reconciling bank and credit card accounts
- Reviewing loan, liability, and owner equity balances
- Preparing updated financial statements
The goal is to provide you with a clean, accurate set of books that reflects what actually happened in your business.
Accurate Transaction Categorization
Every transaction needs to be recorded in the right account.
We do that by reviewing your income, expenses, transfers, loan payments, owner draws, contributions, bank fees, and payment processor activity to make sure each item is categorized correctly.
We also help resolve transactions sitting in categories such as:
- Uncategorized Expenses
- Miscellaneous
- Ask My Accountant
- Undeposited Funds
- Unmatched Income
Accurate categorization gives you clearer financial reports you can understand and help you make better decisions.
This also creates organized records for your tax professional, taking away headaches for both you and them.
Bank and Credit Card Reconciliation
Reconciliation is one of the most important parts of catching up your books.
We compare your accounting records with your official bank and credit card statements to identify:
- Missing transactions
- Duplicate entries
- Incorrect balances
- Unrecorded fees
- Bank feed gaps
- Transfers recorded as income or expenses
- Old or uncleared transactions
This is done to confirm that your bookkeeping records match your actual financial activity.
Correcting Bookkeeping Errors
Old mistakes can continue affecting your reports month after month.
During the catch-up process, we review your records for problems such as:
- Duplicate income or expenses
- Payments applied to the wrong invoice
- Personal expenses recorded as business expenses
- Loan payments categorized incorrectly
- Transfers counted as revenue
- Transactions entered in the wrong month
- Incorrect account balances
Correcting these issues gives you a more reliable foundation for future bookkeeping.
Financial Reports You Can Use
Once your books have been updated and reconciled, we prepare financial reports that help you understand your business.
These can include:
- Profit and Loss Statement
- See your revenue, expenses, and profitability for the catch-up period.
- Balance Sheet
- Review what your business owns, what it owes, and the owner’s equity in the company.
- General Ledger
- Receive a detailed record of the transactions entered into each account.
- Cash Flow Information
- Better understand how money moved into and out of your business.
