This service may be a good fit if:
- Your bookkeeping is several months or years behind.
- Bank or credit card accounts have not been reconciled consistently.
- Your bookkeeping file is incomplete, confusing, or partially finished.
- You need organized records to share with your accountant or tax professional.
- You want to transition into dependable ongoing monthly bookkeeping.
Bookkeeping-only service: Buzzing Bee Bookkeeping does not provide tax preparation, tax return filing, tax advice, audits, legal services, or formal assurance services.
What to know before we begin.
How far back can you catch up my books?
Projects may cover a few months or multiple historical periods. The realistic timeframe depends on record availability, transaction volume, and the current condition of the bookkeeping file.
How much does historical bookkeeping catch-up cost?
Catch-up work is custom quoted after an initial assessment. Pricing is based on the number of periods and accounts, transaction volume, documentation available, and the amount of correction or reconstruction required.
What information will you need from me?
We typically need access to your accounting file and relevant bank, credit card, loan, payroll, merchant processor, and platform statements for the covered period. We will provide a focused request based on your business.
Can you meet an upcoming deadline?
Possibly. Availability depends on the scope, completeness of the records, responsiveness to questions, and requested date. Tell us about the deadline when you contact us so we can assess a realistic timeline.
Can you provide monthly bookkeeping afterward?
Yes. Once the historical catch-up is complete, we can discuss the appropriate ongoing monthly bookkeeping service to help keep your records organized and current.
Do you prepare or file tax returns?
No. We organize bookkeeping records and reports that can be provided to your tax professional, but we do not prepare tax returns, file returns, determine tax obligations, or provide tax advice.
Ready for books that feel organized, dependable, and personal?
Tell us how far behind your bookkeeping is and what records you currently have. We will help you identify the clearest next step.
