Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Behind on your books? Start with a clear cleanup plan.
Ramsha reviews what is missing or unreconciled, identifies the work needed, and scopes catch-up bookkeeping separately from recurring service. The goal is to prepare reliable records so ongoing bookkeeping can begin when appropriate.
A defined starting point
Understand the condition of the books before committing.
Catch-up bookkeeping brings incomplete, overdue, or unreconciled business records up to date according to an agreed scope.
When catch-up is needed
Common signs the books need cleanup.
A growing business may need catch-up bookkeeping after a gap in its process, a system change, or a period of incomplete records. These situations do not apply to every engagement.
Months of transactions have not been categorized
Bank or credit card accounts have not been reconciled
Financial reports are missing or incomplete
The books are not ready to support tax preparation
The business changed systems or has inconsistent records
Recurring bookkeeping stopped for a period
What the review looks at
Scope starts with the records as they are today.
The Free Financial Review helps identify the condition, volume, and dependencies of the cleanup work.
- How many months are behind
- Which bank, credit card, and other financial accounts need reconciliation
- The condition of transaction categorization
- The existing accounting software and account setup
- Which statements or source records are missing
- Whether prior periods require correction
- What is needed before recurring bookkeeping can begin

Pricing and scoping
Catch-up work is quoted separately.
There is no fixed cleanup price because the amount and condition of the work vary. Once the books are current, recurring bookkeeping starts at $299/month for qualifying scopes. The recurring plan does not include catch-up work.

Catch-up + tax readiness
Cleanup creates a more reliable set of records.
Unreconciled or incomplete books can make tax preparation harder because the underlying records may not be ready to use.
Catch-up bookkeeping can organize and reconcile those records. Tax preparation itself is a separate scope, and the exact tax support available is confirmed during the Financial Review.
After cleanup
Keep the books current when the business is ready.
After the agreed catch-up work is finished, businesses may choose recurring bookkeeping for ongoing categorization, reconciliations, and reporting. Recurring service is not mandatory.
