Catch-Up Bookkeeping in Denver
Months — or years — behind on your books? We rebuild the history from your bank statements, reconcile every account, and hand your CPA a clean, tax-ready file. Fixed price: $250–$400 per month of backlog, quoted before any work begins. No hourly meter running on a mess.
The most common way clients arrive. No judgment here — only a process.
How it works
1. Scope call (15 minutes). How far back, how many accounts, what the records look like. You get one fixed number for the whole project.
2. Records in. Bank and card statements (PDFs fine), loan docs, payroll reports if they exist. We handle the rest.
3. Rebuild and reconcile. Every month rebuilt, every transaction categorized — job-coded where records support it — every account reconciled to the statement. Nothing "plugged."
4. Colorado check. Unfiled sales-tax periods, missed OPT months and payroll-compliance gaps get flagged with your options laid out — the layer a national catch-up service never looks at.
5. Tax-ready handoff. Your CPA gets a clean QuickBooks file they can file from. Most clients roll straight into monthly bookkeeping — the point of getting current is staying current.
Catch-up vs. cleanup
Catch-up = months where nothing was recorded. Cleanup = books exist but are wrong — duplicates, miscodings, unreconciled accounts. Real files usually need some of both; one fixed quote covers whatever yours needs.
FAQ
Catch-up bookkeeping — common questions
How much does catch-up bookkeeping cost?
$250–$400 per month of backlog, quoted as one fixed number before any work begins. Eighteen months behind typically lands between $4,500 and $7,200 depending on volume and the state of the records — and the quote doesn't change unless the scope does.
How long does it take?
Most catch-up projects finish in two to four weeks once we have your statements — even multi-year rebuilds. Gathering records is usually the bottleneck, and we give you an exact checklist.
I'm missing statements. Dealbreaker?
No. Banks reissue statements going back years, and we tell you exactly which months we need. Gaps get documented honestly, never papered over.
Will this help with an IRS or Colorado notice?
We produce the accurate books your CPA or tax pro needs to file past returns or answer a notice — including the Colorado layers (sales tax, OPT) a national service would miss. Representation itself is your CPA's or an enrolled agent's job.
