A backlog may include uncategorized transactions, duplicate entries, missing receipts and jobs that no longer match the office's current list. Cleanup begins with a record inventory and the last supported account reconciliation.
See what the backlog contains
We identify the periods, accounts and jobs involved, then distinguish records already available from information your team needs to retrieve. That assessment guides the work sequence and quote.
- Review uncategorized activity and inconsistent job assignments.
- Investigate transfers and possible duplicate entries.
- Reconcile the agreed bank and card accounts.
- Document corrections and items still waiting on evidence.
Keep current jobs moving
Current record collection can continue while older periods are reviewed. We keep those work lists separate so that a past issue is not silently carried into a new report. The missing-receipt workflow helps assign a specific request to the purchaser, project contact or supplier contact.
Leave a clear handoff
The finished scope identifies which periods were reviewed, what was corrected and which questions remain unresolved. Completion depends on transaction volume, account condition and the availability of source documents. Once a supported starting point is established, monthly bookkeeping can follow the agreed routine.
