Catch-Up & Cleanup Bookkeeping
Behind on your books? We untangle months, or years, of messy records, fix the errors, and hand you clean, tax-ready financials. Fast.
Starting at $750
Falling behind on bookkeeping happens to good businesses all the time, a busy season, a bookkeeper who left, or QuickBooks that was never set up right. The longer it sits, the more stressful it feels. IBRA's catch-up and cleanup service fixes it.
We reconstruct your backlog, correct miscategorized transactions, reconcile every account, and deliver a clean set of financials you can file taxes from or hand to a lender with confidence. You get a flat quote up front after a free assessment, so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much does catch-up bookkeeping cost?

- How long does catch-up bookkeeping take?
- It depends on the volume, but many cleanups are completed within one to three weeks. If you're facing a tax deadline, tell us, we prioritize time-sensitive work.
- How far back can you go?
- As far back as you need, months or multiple years. We commonly rebuild one to three years of books for businesses that have fallen behind.
- What do you need from me to get started?
- Mainly access to your bank and credit card statements (or read-only bank connections) and your existing QuickBooks file if you have one. We'll send a simple checklist after your free assessment.
- What happens after the cleanup is done?
- You get clean, tax-ready books to keep. Most clients then move onto our monthly bookkeeping so they never fall behind again, but there's no obligation to.
