Catch-up fills gaps transactions that were never recorded. Clean-up fixes errors misclassifications, duplicates, and reconciliation issues. Most clients need both, and Etisson handles them together in one engagement so nothing falls through the cracks.

Every engagement starts with a Diagnostic Report that health-scores the accounting records, scans all transactions, and identifies every issue before work begins. You get a clear scope and cost estimate upfront no surprises mid-project.

It depends on how far behind the books are and the volume of transactions. Simple projects covering a few months typically take one to two weeks. Complex clean-ups involving years of backlog or heavily disorganized records typically take four to eight weeks. We give you a clear timeline after the discovery call.

Fully reconciled books, a clean trial balance, organized workpapers, reconciliation documentation, and a restructured chart of accounts — everything your team needs to review, file taxes, or begin ongoing bookkeeping.

Yes. New client onboarding with messy or backlogged books is one of the most common reasons CPA firms come to us. We handle the clean-up so your team can focus on the ongoing relationship and higher-value work.

We work inside your existing tech stack — QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, and more. No migration, no disruption.

Most firms transition directly into Etisson's ongoing bookkeeping service after a clean-up engagement. Your specialist already knows the client's books so the handoff is seamless with zero ramp-up delay.
