What the other side will want to see

  • A buyer or a new partner will want to see what the business earns, what it spends and what it owes. A buyer's lender asks for the business's current balance sheet and profit and loss statement.
  • Books that are months behind make that hard to show, and harder to trust.
  • Deals have dates. The other side wants statements that are current before anything closes, not a year-old picture.
  • When their accountant opens the file and the numbers match the bank, there is less to argue about, and less reason to knock down the price.

Your catch-up estimate: three questions, then your price

No logins and no statements. Just what you know off the top of your head.

How many months behind are the books?

Count back to the last month every account was reconciled. A rough number is fine.

Questions

Is the estimate a quote?

No. It's a range from your answers. On the free call you get a fixed written price before any work starts, and that's what you pay. No setup fee.

How long does a catch-up take?

About 2 to 4 weeks for up to 12 months behind, once we have your bank and card statements. For a longer gap, you get a date on the call.

What do I get at the end?

Every bank and card account reconciled to its statements, month by month. A profit and loss and a balance sheet for each year we caught up. A clean QuickBooks file, ready for your tax preparer or lender.

I don't have a tax preparer. Can you do my taxes too?

Yes. Morphology Tax prepares business taxes, and catch-up clients without a preparer get a discount.

Do I need to be on QuickBooks already?

No. If you're not on QuickBooks yet, setting it up is priced on the call.

What happens on the call?

You talk to Waqas Hussain of Morphology Tax for 15 minutes. You go over your answers, and if you want to go ahead, you agree a price and a start date. No obligation.

What if I'm years behind?

That's common. The estimate covers up to three years. Beyond that, the call sets the price.

What does it cost after the catch-up?

Monthly bookkeeping starts from $100 a month, depending on how many transactions you have.
