Rescue and catch-up bookkeeping, without the judgement.
A few months behind, a year, or longer: we go back through it, fix what is wrong, and hand you books you can trust again.
What is catch-up bookkeeping?
Catch-up bookkeeping means going back through the months or years that have piled up, correcting what is wrong, bringing overdue lodgements up to date, and handing you a set of books you can trust again.

Questions
Frequently asked.
How far back can you go?+
As far as the records need. We scope it first so you know what is involved before we start.
How long does a catch-up take?+
It depends on how many months are involved and how complete the records are. We give you a plan after the file review.
Will I be penalised for late lodgements?+
We cannot give tax advice, but bringing overdue statements up to date is the first step. Speak to your tax agent about penalties; we will work with them when you authorise us.
Is it embarrassing to be this far behind?+
Not at all. It is one of the most common things we help with. Running the business took priority, and that is normal.
Do I need to find all my old receipts first?+
No. Give us what you have. We start from the bank data and tell you exactly what is missing.
What happens after the catch-up?+
You can move to ongoing remote bookkeeping, or we hand back a clean file and show you how to keep it that way.
