Your books are a mess.
We've seen worse.
Catch-up bookkeeping is a one-time project that cleans your historical books before ongoing service begins. Reconsail does it with a real accountant and AI doing the volume.
Common situations we fix
Trusted by e-commerce founders who fired their old bookkeeper.
The problem
You can't move forward on books that don't tie out.
Books are too far gone to fix yourself.
Months of misclassified entries compound into a tangle no weekend can untangle.
Tax deadlines or fundraising are looming.
Late returns and bad financials cost real money in penalties and missed valuations.
Your new bookkeeper won't start until books are clean.
Ongoing service on broken history just propagates the errors forward.
