They were in the same situation. Here’s what happened.

Behind on Multiple Years

“I hadn’t touched my books in almost two years. Tax season kept getting pushed back because I couldn’t pull anything clean together. TTB went through everything month by month, flagged a few transactions I had completely forgotten about, and delivered the most organized financial package I’d ever seen. Both years got filed within six weeks.”

  • Backlog: 22 months (2023–2024)
  • Platform: QuickBooks Online
  • Outcome: Filed both years within 6 weeks of handoff
  • Turnaround: 4 weeks after documents received

Messy Books & Mixed Funds

“I was running my Shopify store and personal expenses through the same account for over a year. Stripe refunds were being logged as income, Amazon purchases were miscategorized, and my P&L was completely off. TTB untangled everything and separated it properly. For the first time in three years, my financials actually made sense.”

  • Backlog: 14 months of mixed transactions
  • Platform: Shopify + Stripe + Xero
  • Outcome: Clean P&L + Balance Sheet, filed on time
  • Turnaround: 3 weeks after read-only access granted
Sarah M. — E-commerce Store Owner, Miami FL — Completed Nov 2025

Needed a Loan

“Our SBA loan application got flagged because our financials didn’t reconcile. We had two years of backlog and a lender deadline in six weeks. TTB prioritized the most recent 12 months first so we could submit on time, then finished the rest. The bank accepted our statements on the first review. We closed the loan.”

  • Backlog: 24 months, SBA loan deadline
  • Platform: QuickBooks Online + multiple accounts
  • Outcome: Loan-ready package, approved first review
  • Turnaround: 12 months prioritized in 3 weeks
David L. — Small Business Owner, Atlanta GA — Completed Oct 2025

The Trusty Books – FAQ

Pricing & Scope

How much does catch-up bookkeeping cost?
It depends on three things: how many months you’re behind, how many bank and credit card accounts are involved, and your transaction volume.

We review your situation first, then send you a clear, fixed-fee quote — usually within 24 hours. You’ll know the exact cost before any work begins. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices at the end.
I’m multiple years behind. Do I have to pay everything at once?
No.

We break multi-year projects into phases – most start with a 50% deposit, with the remaining balance due at the project midpoint. We work year by year, in order. You’ll never be hit with one large bill at the end.

Process & Delivery

What happens after I request a quote? What do you need to get started?
Here’s exactly what happens, step by step:
  1. Submit the form – You’ll share basic details about your business and backlog, then reply “YES” to a short verification email to confirm your request.
  2. We review your situation – Our team goes through your submission. Because every business is different, we may follow up by email with a few specific questions or request additional documents — bank statements or accounting software access, depending on your books.
  3. You receive a fixed quote – Once we have what we need, your clear, fixed-fee quote arrives within 1 business day. No hourly estimates. No surprises.
  4. Confirm and pay via Stripe – We get to work immediately.
  5. Project complete – You receive your Tax-Ready Handoff Package — clean financials, ready to file.
Everything is handled by email. No calls, no meetings.
Do you file my taxes?
No – we focus strictly on bookkeeping cleanup, not tax filing or tax advice.

What we deliver is a complete, tax-ready financial package — accurate, properly categorized, and ready to file. You’ll have everything you need when tax season comes.

Software & Timeline

Do I need QuickBooks Online?
No. You don’t need an existing subscription to get started.

We work with QuickBooks Online and other platforms. If you don’t have accounting software, we can build everything from your bank statements, spreadsheets, or receipts. Either way, you’ll end up with clean, tax-ready financials – and a clear picture of where your business stands.
How long does the cleanup take? Do you offer ongoing bookkeeping?
Most one-year cleanups are completed within 2 to 4 weeks – depending on how quickly we receive your documents.

Once you’re caught up, you never have to go through this again. Our optional monthly bookkeeping plans keep your books current year-round, so next tax season, everything is already done.

Most clients go from messy books to tax-ready in under 3 weeks.
