Cleanup & Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Cleanup & Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Get back on track with your business records.

When bookkeeping falls behind, knowing where to start can be the hardest part. Missing entries, unreconciled accounts, or unexplained balances can make the work feel bigger each month.

Nikol Shapiro, CPA helps business owners in Plymouth, Minnesota and the surrounding area assess the records and plan a manageable path forward. You do not need to have everything sorted before reaching out. Start with what you have and the periods that need attention.

Find the gaps and work through them.

Catch-up work addresses periods that have not been recorded, while cleanup focuses on issues in existing books. Nikol will review your situation and discuss the scope before work begins.

  • Identifying the months and accounts that need attention
  • Gathering missing statements and transaction records
  • Recording activity for periods that are behind
  • Reviewing duplicate, unclear, or miscategorized entries
  • Reconciling accounts and investigating differences
  • Identifying unresolved items and a routine for moving forward

What happens after you reach out?

  1. Assess what needs attention

    Tell Nikol how far behind the records are and what problems you have noticed. Share any upcoming filing or reporting needs.

  2. Organize and work through the records

    Gather the statements and supporting information for the agreed periods. Nikol will review the activity and follow up on missing or unclear details.

  3. Review the results and next steps

    Discuss the updated records and any items still requiring information. Set out a practical approach for keeping future bookkeeping current.

What should you have ready?

Start with the records you have. Nikol can help identify any additional information needed for your business.

  • The last available bookkeeping reports
  • Bank and credit card statements for the affected periods
  • Sales records, receipts, and outstanding invoices
  • Payroll, loan, and payment platform records
  • Previously filed business tax returns and a list of known issues

Use the contact form for your initial inquiry. Nikol will explain how to share sensitive financial records.

Once earlier records have been addressed, ask about a regular bookkeeping routine to help prevent another backlog.
