Catch-up bookkeeping for child care centers.

If your books are behind, we identify the records, periods, deadlines, and approvals needed to define the path back to a reliable monthly close.

Scope the problem first

Cleanup depends on the records, systems, and locations involved. We define the scope before changing the books.

Define the period and entities

We identify which months, schools, bank accounts, cards, payroll reports, and child care systems belong in the cleanup.

Review the source records

We compare the ledger with bank and card statements, tuition activity, payroll reports, vendor records, and prior close work.

Separate urgent work from historical work

Current billing, payments, payroll reconciliation, and deadlines may need coverage while the older records are repaired.

Bring the records back together

We build a ledger that ties to underlying activity and supports the next close, not just a cleaner file.

Bank and card reconciliation

We work through unreconciled periods, duplicate activity, uncategorized transactions, and balances that do not tie out.

Tuition and family balances

We compare invoices, payments, deposits, credits, withdrawals, and attendance so the child care platform and books agree.

Payroll, bills, and the monthly close

We reconcile payroll reports, review approved vendor activity, post supported adjustments, and prepare the records for reporting.

CPA coordination

We organize the books and answer record questions. Your CPA keeps responsibility for income-tax filings and specialized accounting judgments.

Keep the books current

Historical cleanup is scoped separately. Ongoing support creates the weekly and monthly rhythm that helps keep the backlog from returning.

Weekly operating work

Transactions are categorized, bills are prepared for approval, and billing exceptions are handled while they are still current.

Monthly reconciliation and close

Bank, card, tuition-platform, and payroll activity is reconciled on a written close schedule with controller review.

Reporting by school

Owners receive a recurring reporting package and an explanation of material changes, with each location kept visible.
