Whether you are a few weeks or several years behind, we will get your accounts accurate, current and back under control.
Our bookkeeping catch-up and clean-up service is designed to get your accounts back on track quickly, accurately and with minimal stress. We review and reconcile your bookkeeping records, identify and correct discrepancies, and ensure your financial data is up to date and compliant.
Whether you are behind by a few weeks or several years, Lady Abacus will work with you to restore clarity and confidence in your business finances.
We have seen every version of this: the shoebox of receipts, the untouched Xero file, the years of unlodged BAS. None of it shocks us and none of it is unfixable. We will tell you honestly what is involved, how long it will take and what it will cost before any work starts.
If any of these feel a little close to home, this is exactly the sort of thing we take off your plate.
There are BAS or tax obligations sitting unlodged, and the longer it goes the harder it feels to face.
Reconciliations do not match, there are duplicates, or the numbers simply do not look right any more.
You have been asked for records you cannot produce, and year-end has stalled because of it.
A defined project with a clear scope, a fixed picture of cost, and an end point.
We assess how far behind you are and tell you what it will take before any work begins.
Bank, credit card and loan accounts reconciled back through every period in question.
Duplicates, miscodings and unbalanced entries found and fixed properly rather than papered over.
Overdue BAS and IAS prepared so you can get back on top of your ATO obligations.
Contacts, chart of accounts and opening balances tidied so the file is genuinely usable again.
A clear path from caught up to staying that way, if that is what you want next.
A defined project with honest timeframes, so you will always know how far through we are.
Tell us roughly where things stand. No detail required, and genuinely nothing to be embarrassed about.
We look at what exists, work out the real scope and give you a clear picture of cost and timing.
We work through the backlog period by period, checking in as we go so you are never in the dark.
Accounts current, lodgements sorted, and the option to move onto ongoing bookkeeping.
The questions we hear most about catch-up & clean-up. If yours isn't here, just ask.
There is no such thing. We have brought files back from several years with no bookkeeping at all. The work takes longer, but the process is exactly the same.
Coming forward voluntarily is almost always viewed more favourably than waiting to be contacted. As a registered BAS agent we can speak to the ATO on your behalf, and payment arrangements are often available for what is owed.
It depends on the volume and how complete your records are. A few months behind might take a week or two; several years is a longer project. We will give you a realistic timeframe up front rather than an optimistic one.
That is exactly what the clean-up half is for. Bring us whatever exists. Bank statements alone are often enough to rebuild from. If the file itself is the problem, our Xero setup service can restructure it.
A free, no-obligation call of about 20 minutes
to work out the support that fits your business.
