Books brought current, then kept current
Most bookkeeping problems are not complicated, they are just deferred. Unreconciled bank accounts, uncategorised transactions and a year end approaching are the usual combination, and the cost of leaving it is that every downstream filing becomes an estimate.
HBT takes the file as it is, reconciles it back to source documents, and hands back records that a tax return and a lender can both rely on. Where the file needs rebuilding from scratch we say so up front rather than discovering it halfway through.

Review the file, the periods affected, and what reconciles today before quoting the work.
Reconcile to source
Rebuild the accounts against statements and documents rather than plugging differences.

Deliver records that support the tax filing and can be maintained going forward.
How the work begins
A clear process before the accounting starts
- Step 1
Show us the file
Access to the accounting file and bank statements is enough for us to scope it.
- Step 2
Fixed scope where possible
Once we can see the condition of the records we price the cleanup before starting.
- Step 3
Move to a monthly rhythm
After the catch-up, a monthly close keeps it from recurring.
