What Is Bookkeeping Clean-Up & Catch-Up?

Bookkeeping Clean-Up

focuses on correcting inaccuracies in existing financial records, such as misclassified transactions, duplicate entries, and reconciliation differences.

Bookkeeping Catch-Up

It involves completing bookkeeping for periods that were never recorded or only partially maintained, ensuring accurate and complete financial records.

Detailed Scope of Our Support

Initial Assessment & Data Review

We review existing bookkeeping records, accounting software, bank statements, and supporting documents to identify missing periods, inconsistencies, and areas that require correction or restructuring.

Completion of Outstanding Bookkeeping

All pending transactions are recorded accurately for each outstanding period, including income, expenses, transfers, payroll entries, and required adjustments to complete historical records.

Correction of Errors & Misclassifications

We identify and correct incorrect account coding, duplicate entries, missing adjustments, and improperly recorded transactions that impact overall financial accuracy.

Bank & Credit Card Reconciliation

Each bank and credit card account is reconciled against official statements, with differences reviewed and resolved to ensure accurate and reliable account balances.

Completion of Outstanding Bookkeeping

Where applicable, records are aligned to support GST reporting, PAYE obligations, and IRD compliance, ensuring historical data meets statutory and reporting requirements.

Period-Wise Validation & Review

Each completed period is independently reviewed to maintain consistency, clarity, and audit-ready documentation across all financial reporting periods.

Why Businesses Need Clean-Up & Catch-Up Services

Many businesses experience bookkeeping delays due to growth, staff changes, system migrations, or lack of internal resources. Over time, this can lead to:

Poor Visibility into Cash Flow and Performance

Incomplete or inaccurate bookkeeping makes it difficult to understand actual cash availability and business performance, limiting informed decision-making and effective financial planning.

Increased Stress During Year-End Reporting

Disorganised or delayed records increase the workload during year-end reporting, leading to rushed corrections, higher error risk, and added pressure on business owners and accountants.

Incomplete or Unreliable Financial Reports

When bookkeeping records are not properly maintained, financial reports may be inaccurate or incomplete, reducing their reliability and making it difficult to assess the true financial position of the business.

Benefits of Bookkeeping Clean-Up & Catch-Up
