FAQ
Catch-Up Bookkeeping FAQs
How far back can you catch up?
As far back as you need — usually the years you still have to file. You'll need bank and credit card statements for those periods.
How long does catch-up take?
It depends on how many months and accounts are involved. We give you a timeline with your quote.
Can you fix a QuickBooks file someone else set up?
Yes. We review the file, fix the chart of accounts and reconcile it, or start a clean file if that's faster.
