Cleanup And Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services

Chicago Area Cleanup and Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services

It’s easy for small business owners to allow their finances to get out of control. When you own your own business, you wear multiple hats and may not have time to organize your books. If you take time to clean up your bookkeeping, something else won’t receive the attention it deserves. You need a better way to handle your bookkeeping services so you can catch up on your finances.

Luckily, Steph’s Books offers the optimal solution. Our Chicago-based online bookkeeping catch-up services can ensure your books are organized and tidy come tax season. Don’t wait until April to tackle account reconciliation — by then, it’s too late. Instead, address your potential problems now and plan to catch up on your books with an expert. You can be prepared for tax season and improve your financial standing when you use our catch-up bookkeeping services.

Why You Might Fall Behind on Your Books

When you’re a small business owner, you work on several things at once. With your busy schedule, you might not have the time or experience to keep up with bookkeeping. Instead, you allow receipts to pile up and ignore your invoices while focusing on other issues.

You are likely performing a large number of tasks, and bookkeeping might not be your number one priority. Day-to-day priorities often take precedence over long-term jobs, like managing your finances — especially if you are not familiar with bookkeeping.

Forgetting to manage your books correctly can lead to several challenges later. While it might not seem like a pressing deal at the moment, you want to be as prepared as possible for tax season. Catch-up and cleanup bookkeeping can help solve these problems and prevent future ones from arising.

When tax day comes, you’ll be ready and have everything on hand at the precise moment you need it. Our team of experts can help you get ahead whether you’re a month or years behind.

With our Quickbooks online cleanup services, we evaluate everything involving your current financials to determine where we need to start and the areas we should tackle. Once we have access to everything we need, from credit card statements to accounts, our experts can begin the cleanup process.

Catch-Up Bookkeeping

Catch-up bookkeeping involves multiple tasks. First, our job is to look at your transactions and ensure you record them correctly. We will prepare financial statements and reconcile your accounts as well.

When you’re having issues with Quickbooks, you must work with a professional right away to assist you with catch-up. Steph’s Books specializes in Quickbooks catch-up to help you get back on track as quickly as possible.

Your Books Should Always Stay Up-To-Date

Several challenges can arise if you don’t keep your books updated. Some of the ways catch-up bookkeeping helps your business include:

  • Catch-up bookkeeping allows you to avoid violations and fines from incorrect taxes.
  • Quickbooks catch-up can help you steer clear of any financial shortcomings.
  • We ensure you have accurate financial statements, which allow you to forecast and make decisions accurately.
  • Well-kept books make it easier to get loans.

Why You Should Have a Professional Help You Catch Up On Your Business’ Books

Having a professional QuickBooks® ProAdvisor bookkeeper is the only way to get your business’ books in perfect condition with no discrepancies. Doing it yourself presents many problems, including falling behind on bookkeeping and lacking time to deal with the issue. When you use our bookkeeping account catch-up services, you can enjoy several advantages, including:

  • Optimal tax season preparation: You can be ready for tax season when you use a professional to clean up your bookkeeping. This is a stressful time for anyone but becomes even more difficult for a business owner who hasn’t prepared for it.
  • Improved decision-making: You get a better understanding of your finances, which can help you make better decisions. With more information about your financial picture, you know when you can afford to hire more help or need to reduce expenses, for example.
  • A stronger new year: When you begin a new year, you can concentrate on ways to grow your business instead of worrying about your financial accounts.
  • Financial savings on employment: Hiring Steph’s Books instead of an in-house employee to do your bookkeeping saves you money in the long run. It’s cheaper than employing someone full-time to handle your accounting.
  • Increased time for your business: If you hire a professional to do your bookkeeping, you can dedicate more of your time to other parts of your job. Our experts take care of this work and keep you organized while you spend more time working with clients, securing procedures and more.
  • Less bookkeeping errors: Trying to do everything yourself can result in errors that harm your business. A bookkeeper’s job is to focus on your financials, and their background provides the right tools to be successful.
  • Scale up or down: Your outsourced bookkeeping team can take on more or less as your business needs change. You can continue working with us without hiring more in-house employees.
