Catch-Up Bookkeeping
for NJ Small Businesses
Behind on your books? It happens. We'll get you fully caught up — accurately and without judgment — no matter how far back you've fallen.
Get Your Books Back on Track — Fast
Falling behind on bookkeeping is one of the most common challenges for small business owners. You're focused on running your business, and the books slip. Before long, months go by and the pile feels impossible to tackle.
Beck & Call Bookkeeping handles catch-up bookkeeping for NJ small businesses across all industries. We go back through your transaction history, categorize everything accurately, reconcile all accounts, and bring your books up to current — so you can start fresh with clean books going forward.
Once you're caught up, we offer ongoing monthly bookkeeping so it never falls behind again.

The Catch-Up Process
Initial Review
We assess the current state of your books, identify how far back we need to go, and confirm the scope and catch-up fee before any work begins.
Transaction Cleanup
We go through every transaction in the backlog period, categorize them correctly, and resolve any errors or miscategorizations in your accounting software.
Account Reconciliation
Every bank account, credit card, and loan account is reconciled to your actual statements — month by month, all the way through.
Financial Statements Delivered
Once caught up, we deliver clean financial statements for the covered period so you have an accurate historical record.
Transition to Monthly Bookkeeping
With your books current, you can move directly into our monthly bookkeeping service so you never fall behind again.
You're Not Alone — and It's Fixable
Catch-up bookkeeping is one of the most common services we provide. These situations all happen to real businesses:
- You've been doing your own books but got too busy and stopped keeping up
- You switched from a previous bookkeeper and the file is a mess
- Tax season is approaching and your books aren't ready for your CPA
- You're applying for a loan and need accurate historical financials
- You started using accounting software but never really set it up correctly
- You have months of uncategorized transactions sitting in your bank feed
Catch-Up Bookkeeping FAQs
How long does catch-up bookkeeping take?
It depends on the volume of transactions and how far back we're going. Most catch-up projects for 1–6 months take 1–2 weeks. Larger backlogs may take longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline before we start.
What do I need to provide?
Access to your accounting software and your bank/credit card statements for the period we're catching up. We'll tell you exactly what we need once we assess your file.
What if my books are a complete mess — not just behind?
That's fine. We've seen it all. Part of catch-up bookkeeping is cleaning up miscategorizations, duplicates, and other errors — not just filling in the gaps. We'll get it right.
Do I have to continue with monthly bookkeeping after the catch-up?
No — catch-up bookkeeping is available as a standalone service. That said, most clients choose to continue with monthly bookkeeping so they never fall behind again.
Will my CPA be able to use the financials for taxes?
Yes. The financial statements we prepare from your cleaned-up accounting software are standard reports your CPA can use directly for tax preparation.
