Catch Up Bookkeeping
Catch-Up Bookkeeping for Landscaping Businesses That Are Behind
Whether you're 3 months behind or 2 years behind, we'll work through the backlog methodically and hand you back a clean bookkeeping file.
You might need catch up bookkeeping if…
Your books haven't been touched in months
Your accountant or CPA is asking for clean records
Tax season is coming and nothing is organized
You switched bookkeeping systems but never set the new file up properly
You've been entering things yourself but know they're wrong
You just bought or took over a business and the books are a mess
What a behind landscaping QuickBooks file usually looks like
If any of this sounds like your file, it is fixable. These are the patterns we untangle most often.
What we usually find
- Months of fuel, mulch, plants, rentals, payroll, and checks sitting uncategorized
- Credit card payments duplicated
- Bank deposits added instead of matched
- Payroll checks that do not line up with reports
- Customer deposits posted as generic income
- Owner purchases mixed with business expenses
- Prior months never reconciled
- Materials and direct job costs mixed into overhead
