Running a restaurant is nonstop—between staff schedules, supplier deliveries, and managing daily sales, it’s easy for your bookkeeping to take a back seat. If you’re behind on your books, you’re not alone—and the good news is, you don’t have to stay there.

At The Active Ledger, we specialize in catch-up bookkeeping for restaurants just like yours. Whether you’re 1 month, 12 months, or even 2+ years behind, we can help you clean things up, get current, and feel in control of your finances again.


Falling Behind Is Common—But It Comes with Risks

When your books aren’t up to date, it’s more than just a to-do list item left unchecked. It can cause:

  • Missed tax deductions
  • Cash flow confusion
  • Payroll miscalculations
  • Late or incorrect sales tax filings
  • A ton of stress when tax season rolls around

And let’s be real: digging through receipts, POS reports, and old bank statements while trying to run a restaurant? That’s a full-time job on its own.


What Is Catch-Up Bookkeeping?

Catch-up bookkeeping is the process of bringing your financial records up to date. That means reconciling months (or years) of bank statements, categorizing transactions, cleaning up your QuickBooks, and generating accurate financial reports you can trust.

We do it quickly, accurately, and without judgment. No lectures, no stress—just clean, organized books ready for tax filing or financial planning.
