Solo Bentonville bookkeeping — answered personally, never a queue.
Bookkeeper — answered personally.
Historical reconciliation, error correction, and a QuickBooks setup that holds up at year-end. One project, scoped to where your file actually stands today — not a flat retainer that doesn’t fit the mess.
What this work covers
The shape of the project stays the same regardless of how far behind you are. What changes is the depth of each step — and that’s what the discovery call is for.
Back-fill 3, 6, 12+ months of bank and credit-card transactions into QuickBooks Online. Every line is classified, every statement is reconciled, nothing is summarized into a fake opening balance.
Fix the miscategorized entries, the duplicated vendors, the half-entered payroll runs, the bank-feed gaps. Reconcile every statement to the penny — not to whatever an opening balance says on a good day.
Chart of accounts sized for the business, apps and integrations plugged in, the reports your CPA opens actually wired up. You keep the books when we’re done — not a mystery file that only one person can read.
How a catch-up engagement runs
No two files are in the same shape, so the project steps look like a checklist — not a calendar. Here’s the meat of what happens once the scope is set.
A free 30-minute call. I review the file, count the months, look at the chart of accounts you came in with, and write up a fixed-fee proposal for the work.
Bank and credit-card transactions pulled in and classified. Misclassified entries fixed. Missing statements sourced. Duplicates collapsed.
Every statement reconciled to the penny. Payroll runs that were skipped are entered. Vendors are deduplicated. The chart of accounts gets sized for how you actually run the business.
At the end of the project the books are clean, current, and your CPA-ready. From there you can move onto a monthly engagement — or stay DIY. The choice is yours.
A note on pricing
Catch-up work is quoted per project, not on a monthly retainer. The fee is set after the discovery call and depends on four things:
After the discovery call you get a written proposal with the scope and the flat fee — not an estimate that drifts, and not a flat monthly number that doesn’t fit the catch-up.
A thirty-minute call, free. I’ll review the file and reply within one business day with a scoping read and a flat-fee proposal — the kind of number you can plan around.
