Support that fits your business.

Every business has different pressures, systems and reporting needs. We provide practical, reliable support that keeps the details under control and the bigger picture clear.

What’s included

  • A tailored approach to your workflow and reporting needs
  • Clear communication and accurate, up-to-date records
  • Support from a Victorian Registered BAS Agent
  • Flexible help as your business grows or changes

A backlog is solvable with a clear starting point

Falling behind on bookkeeping is common when the business is busy, a team member leaves, software changes or records have been spread across too many places. The most helpful first step is not trying to fix everything at once; it is working out what is outstanding, which deadlines matter and what information is available.

In Addition Bookkeeping provides catch-up support for Victorian businesses that need a calm, methodical way to restore order to their accounts. We begin by assessing the periods involved, the software file and the records that need to be gathered.

How a catch-up plan is built

The plan is tailored to the backlog. We prioritise the periods with an immediate reporting or BAS need, then work through the underlying reconciliations and transaction questions in a logical order. You receive a clear list of what we need from you so effort is focused where it matters.

  • Initial review of the accounting file and outstanding periods
  • A staged plan for bank and payment-account reconciliations
  • Collection and organisation of missing source documents
  • Transaction coding review and follow-up questions
  • BAS-ready records and reporting support when the books are current
  • A sustainable routine to help prevent the backlog returning

No guesswork when records are incomplete

Catch-up work needs care. Missing receipts, mixed personal and business spending, duplicate transactions or unclear payment references should be resolved where possible, rather than treated as routine entries. We will tell you what needs confirmation and keep a record of the decisions made.

If overdue BAS lodgements are involved, we can discuss the next appropriate process as a Registered BAS Agent. Advice outside that scope, such as income-tax consequences, should be confirmed with your accountant or tax adviser.

Move from catch-up to a workable routine

The value of catch-up bookkeeping is not only the recovered periods. It is leaving you with a simpler process: agreed document collection, a predictable review point and clear responsibility for approvals. That makes future reporting easier and gives you a more current view of the business.

We work with owners across Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne and Victoria who want the books to feel manageable again.

FAQS

Good questions deserve clear answers.

Answers to common questions about working with In Addition Bookkeeping.

How far behind can my bookkeeping be?

We can assess short or long backlogs. The scope, available records and any reporting deadlines will determine the right order of work.

What do you need to start catch-up bookkeeping?

Usually access to the accounting file, bank and payment records, available receipts and details of the periods that need attention.

Can you help if receipts are missing?

We can identify gaps and help organise what is available. You may need to contact suppliers or advisers to confirm particular transactions.

Can catch-up work include overdue BAS periods?

Yes, where appropriate. We will first bring the records to a reliable point and then discuss the BAS lodgement steps within our registered scope.

How long will it take?

Timing depends on the volume of work, record quality and how quickly questions can be answered. We provide a realistic plan after the initial review.
