Catch up the books

Bring months of untouched bookkeeping up to date and reconciled.

1. Agree the months to cover and the fee (Client signs off)
2. Check opening balances match the last filed accounts. Most people forget this: If you start from wrong opening balances, every reconciliation after it is wrong too.
3. Get bank statements and receipts for every month
4. Import and code the bank transactions
5. Match receipts and invoices
6. Reconcile each bank account to the statement
7. Clear the suspense account and query list (Reviewer signs off)
8. Lock the periods already filed with HMRC
9. Send the client the catch-up summary
