CLIENT CASE STUDY
How We Fixed 11 Months of Bookkeepingin 30 Days
The situation
Eleven months behind, one letter unopened
They came to us in March with bank feeds untouched since the previous April, two BAS periods outstanding and receipts in three shoeboxes. Payroll was running, but nobody could say which jobs were actually making money.
What we did
Rebuilt the ledger in job-cost order
We coded eleven months of transactions against the jobs they belonged to, matched every supplier invoice, cleaned up the chart of accounts and lodged both overdue BAS periods. Then we set up a weekly rhythm so it can never drift again.
The result
Current books, and a number per job
Thirty days later the books were current and closed on time. More usefully, they could see gross margin per job for the first time and dropped two client types that had been quietly losing money.
We had shoeboxes of receipts and a letter we were scared to open. Four weeks later I could tell you exactly what every job made.
