CATCH-UP BOOKKEEPING
Months behind? Bonnie rebuilds your books from what you already have: connected accounts bring in up to a year of history, uploaded statements reach back as far as your documents do, and unclear items become questions — not guesses.
WHO IT HELPS
COMMON SITUATIONS
CLEANUP WORKFLOW
Connect your accounts and Bonnie imports the history your bank provides — typically up to 12 months, though some banks share less. For anything older, upload bank and card statements (PDF, image, or CSV) and Bonnie works from those: documents can rebuild periods as far back as you've kept them.
Bonnie categorizes the backlog the same way she handles a live month — recurring vendors settle into patterns fast, so old months go quicker than you'd think.
Duplicates and gaps get flagged, and old transactions with missing context become short questions — “this charge from March at an equipment rental company: job equipment?” — instead of silent guesses.
Each caught-up month becomes a profit and loss you can review and hand to a CPA or lender, with every line expandable to the transactions behind it.
WHAT CATCH-UP COSTS
Catch-up work costs the same $15/month or $150/year, with a 30-day free trial — there's no per-month-behind surcharge. Dedicated cleanup services price differently: Intuit's Expert Full Service bookkeeping starts at $300/month after an unpublished cleanup fee, and Bookkeeper360 lists catch-up projects starting at $1,000 (July 2026).

FAQ
Through a connected bank account, Bonnie typically imports up to 12 months of history — the exact depth depends on what your bank shares through Plaid, and some institutions provide less. Beyond that, upload statements: Bonnie can rebuild books for any period you have documents for.
Catch-up bookkeeping means working through past months that never got done: importing or entering the old transactions, categorizing them, matching the documents you still have, resolving duplicates and gaps, and producing a P&L for each period so the books become usable again.
Usually, yes — old transactions are exactly where context is most likely to be missing. When the right category depends on what was actually going on, Bonnie asks a specific question rather than guessing, and each answer speeds up the rest of the backlog.
Start with Bonnie and turn bank activity, receipts, statements, and owner context into bookkeeping you can review.
