Behind on your books? Bring overdue accounting records up to date with a structured catch-up process. CorporateWalla can help record historical transactions, reconcile accounts, organise ledgers and prepare the books for ongoing monthly accounting.
Catch-up bookkeeping is the process of bringing delayed or incomplete accounting records up to an agreed reporting period. It may involve historical transaction recording, bank and ledger reconciliation, accounts receivable/payable review and month-end adjustments based on the available source documents.
The required effort depends on the backlog period, transaction volume, condition of existing records and accounting system.
Historical bookkeeping often involves incomplete records. We identify missing or unclear items instead of silently assuming the correct accounting treatment.
Depending on the engagement, unresolved items may be placed into an exception or clarification list for management review. The final treatment should be based on supporting evidence and agreed accounting instructions.
Where a transaction requires a tax, legal, valuation or specialist accounting opinion beyond bookkeeping scope, it should be separately reviewed.
The work may focus on transaction posting, bank reconciliation and current-period reporting, subject to source-data completeness.
A structured period-by-period reconciliation and exception process is usually more appropriate.
The engagement may require historical data reconstruction, opening-balance review and coordination with prior financial statements or tax records. Scope should be assessed before committing to a timeline.
The first step should include a handover review, opening balances, accounting-system access and identification of pending reconciliations.
Catch-up bookkeeping is not automatically a tax audit, statutory audit, forensic investigation, tax opinion, GST audit, valuation, certification or legal review.
Recording historical transactions does not by itself validate every underlying transaction, source document or tax position. Where historical records contain disputed, unsupported or technically complex transactions, additional professional review may be required.
Tax, GST, payroll, legal and regulatory filings should be separately scoped unless expressly included in the engagement.
Catch-up bookkeeping should be priced based on the actual backlog rather than a generic monthly fee. Relevant factors include:
Pick the speed and depth that matches your need. Same quality, same CA team — only the timeline changes.
Timeline: Quoted on months pending and transaction volume
Timeline: Quoted on accounts, ledgers and source-document quality
Timeline: Quoted after a backlog assessment
Every price above is a professional fee, excluding GST and government charges. 50% on delivery.
Catch-up bookkeeping is quoted after reviewing the backlog, transaction volume and condition of the books, not as a generic monthly fee. The quote depends on the number of months or years pending, monthly transaction volume, number of bank and payment accounts, number of entities, accounting software, quality of source documents, reconciliation requirements, complexity of customer and vendor ledgers and the reporting and closing support required.
Identify the period to be completed, accounting system, transaction volume and current state of the books.
Identify missing bank statements, sales/purchase data, expense records and other required information.
Organise source data and establish the agreed accounting structure.
Record transactions for the agreed period.
Reconcile banks and relevant ledgers against available supporting records.
Identify missing, unclear or unmatched transactions requiring clarification.
Prepare the agreed reports or schedules for completed periods.
Where required, move from backlog work to recurring bookkeeping with a defined cut-off date.

Quoted after reviewing the months pending, transaction volume and condition of the books rather than a generic monthly fee.
Missing or unclear items go on an exception list for management review instead of being booked on guesswork.
Banks and relevant ledgers reconciled against available supporting records for each completed period.
A defined cut-off date so recurring bookkeeping starts from reconciled balances.
