Busy season support
Client books closed before tax season
Catch-up bookkeeping, reconciliations and year-end clean-up for your clients, so returns start from clean books. For CPA firms. Business owners who are behind on their own books can use catch-up bookkeeping.
Why now
Busy season is won in November and December
Returns go slowest when the books behind them are late or wrong. Firms that clear clean-up work before January spend tax season on returns and advice instead of chasing statements. With 73% of accounting leaders turning work away for lack of staff (Advancetrack 2026 survey), extra hands are hardest to find once the season starts.
