Catch Up & Clean Up
Get your books back on track without judgement, overwhelm, or stress.
If your bookkeeping has fallen behind, your Xero file is messy, or you’re avoiding your accounts because you don’t know where to start, you’re in the right place.
Our Catch Up & Clean Up service is designed for small business owners who need to fix past mistakes, get back in control, and set up systems that actually make sense. Whether you’re one quarter behind or a couple of years, we can help.
Who This Service Is For
- Tradies & contractors who are behind on BAS
- Small business owners who haven’t reconciled in months
- Solopreneurs who have outgrown DIY bookkeeping
- Businesses switching accountants or starting fresh
- Anyone who feels embarrassed, stressed, or overwhelmed by their books
What We Fix During a Catch Up & Clean Up
- Bank & credit card reconciliation
- Duplicate or uncoded transactions
- Incorrect GST setup & misallocated expenses
- Payroll, super, and STP alignment
- Missing invoices, bills, or receipts
- Xero chart of accounts issues
- Historical errors affecting current BAS
- Brining files up to BAS-ready condition
If BAS is required, a registered BAS Agent will review and lodge as needed.
Why Being “Caught Up” Matters
- Avoid ATO penalties & BAS stress
- Make confident pricing and cash flow decisions
- Stop guessing and start knowing where your money is going
- Lower year-end accounting costs
- Make business planning easier and more accurate
- Accurate books protect your business and your peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far behind is “too far behind”?
There’s no such thing. We regularly help businesses who are:
One or two quarters behind
A year behind
Multiple years behind (it happens more often than you think)
No judgement — just a structured plan to get you current.
Can you fix mistakes from a previous bookkeeper or accountant?
Yes. We can review your file, identify errors, and correct:
- Wrong GST coding
- Missing reconciliations
- Duplicate transactions
- Payroll/STP alignment issues
Then we prepare the BAS for review and lodgement (if needed).
What if I’ve made a mess of my Xero (or MYOB/QuickBooks) file?
It depends how much is missing or incorrect, but catching up properly now usually saves money later by:
- Preventing ATO penalties
- Reducing EOFY clean-up fees
- Avoiding rushed or incorrect BAS lodgements
