Bookkeeping: From Backlog to Audit-Ready A retail SME came to us 14 months behind on its books, with hundreds of unrecorded and miscategorized transactions and no reliable view of cash. We rebuilt the ledger from source documents, over 5,900 transactions, traced 100% of bank and cash accounts, and back-filed 12 outstanding VAT periods. Within three weeks the books were fully current and 100% reconciled, giving the owner clean, audit-ready financials to support a financing application.
