Bookkeeping Cleanup and Catch-Up for Contractors

Months of bank transactions sit uncategorized. Receipts live in the truck console. You’re not sure what your last few jobs earned after labor and materials. A cleanup gets your books current, reconciled and ready for your tax preparer, and monthly bookkeeping keeps them there.

Right Now: Close Out 2026 Before Year-End

If your 2026 books are behind, the next few weeks are the time to catch up. Current books before December 31 give your tax preparer real numbers for year-end planning, get your 1099s ready for the February 1, 2027 deadline, and spare you a January scramble.

Still haven’t filed for 2025? Ask about catching up both years in one project with one price.

What’s Included

• A free 15-minute review of your books, so the quote matches the real work
• Every transaction categorized and every bank and credit card account reconciled
• Job costing set up in QuickBooks Online, so each job shows its real profit
• Tax-ready financials for your CPA or tax preparer
• A firm price before any work starts, with half due up front and the rest at completion

Then Stay Current

Once the backlog is clear, monthly bookkeeping stops a new one from forming. Each month you get reconciled books and a job-by-job report while you stay in the field.

Catch-Up Season Runs All Year

• October to December: catch up the current year before year-end, in time for tax planning and 1099s.
• January to April 15: catch up last year so your return gets filed on time.
• April to October 15: filed an extension? Use the extra months for clean books instead of a rushed estimate.
