Catch-up bookkeeping for Cypress businesses
Catch-up bookkeeping is recording and reconciling every month that was never entered — from the last period your books were accurate through today. For Cypress businesses that means Harris County filings, local tax detail, and financials a bank or CPA will accept. Pricing is $250–$400 per open month, quoted as one fixed fee.
Cypress is home-based and trades-heavy: builders and subs working the Bridgeland and Towne Lake buildout, mobile service businesses, and e-commerce operations run from a home office. Catch-up work here often starts with separating owner activity from company activity and giving a growing crew real cost tracking.
How Cypress books usually get behind
Home-office business, one account
Many Cypress businesses started on a personal account. Cleanup means reconstructing which transactions were business and documenting the rest.
Subcontractor-driven growth
Builders and subs along 290 add crews fast. Payments to subs and materials get lumped into one expense with no job detail.
Sales channels never reconciled
Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, and Amazon deposits are net of fees. Recording the deposit understates both revenue and expenses in every affected month.
What a Cypress cleanup has to account for
- Cypress addresses are assessed by HCAD; business personal property renditions require current equipment and vehicle detail.
- MUD taxes are common in Bridgeland, Towne Lake, and Fairfield and should be recorded as taxes, not miscellaneous expense.
- Payment processor and marketplace deposits must be grossed up for fees so Texas franchise tax revenue is reported correctly.
- New-construction vs. remodel labor changes Texas sales tax treatment — a frequent correction in Cypress builder files.
Financing note. Cypress owners applying for a first business loan or line of credit are usually asked to show business-only financials. Separating personal activity and reconciling processor deposits is what makes that possible. See loan-ready financials or run the DSCR calculator.

Cypress catch-up bookkeeping FAQ
How much does catch-up bookkeeping cost?
Cleanup is priced per open month: roughly $250–$400 per month behind, depending on transaction volume, payroll, sales tax, and how many entities are involved. A typical one-year catch-up runs $2,500–$3,500. You get one fixed fee in writing after a free diagnostic review — never an open hourly meter.
How long does a catch-up take?
Most one-year cleanups finish in two to four weeks once we have statement access. Multi-year or multi-entity projects take longer, and we work oldest month forward so each period closes permanently.
What do you need from me to start?
Read-only access or PDF statements for every bank, credit card, loan, and payment processor account, plus payroll reports and your last filed tax return. That is usually enough to scope the work and quote it.
Will you judge how far behind I am?
No. Multiple years behind is normal in this work. The only thing that matters is getting each period reconciled and documented so your CPA and your lender can rely on it.
Everything ran through my personal account — is that fixable?
Yes, and it is common. We reconstruct business activity from statements, document the split, and set up a clean business file going forward so it never has to be done twice.
Can you fix Shopify and Stripe deposits recorded as revenue?
Yes. We rebuild those months so gross sales, processor fees, refunds, and sales tax are recorded separately instead of collapsed into the net deposit.
