Bookkeeping
A repeatable monthly close process, plus cleanup and catch-up support for records that are behind or unreliable.
Monthly bookkeeping
A repeatable close process turns transactions into dependable information.
Collect
Receive statements, sales records, bills, receipts, payroll records, and other agreed documents.
Record
Classify transactions using an approved chart of accounts and consistent rules.
Reconcile
Match bank, credit card, loan, payroll liability, and clearing accounts to external records.
Review
Investigate unusual balances, duplicates, missing items, and unresolved transactions.
Report
Deliver agreed financial and payroll reports with a concise list of observations or open items.
Discuss
Clarify results, answer questions, and prepare priorities for the next cycle.
Cleanup & catch-up bookkeeping
Bring incomplete or unreliable records to a usable starting point. Cleanup corrects inaccurate records; catch-up completes periods that were never fully recorded. Many engagements require both. Headstream begins with an assessment so the scope, dependencies, and expected outcome are clear.
Typical warning signs
Unreconciled accounts, duplicate transactions, negative balances, uncategorized activity, payroll posting issues, or reports that do not make sense.
Assessment output
A findings summary, required-document list, proposed work plan, assumptions, and estimate.
Common corrections
Account mapping, duplicate removal, balance adjustments, historical reconciliations, payroll account cleanup, and clearing old items.
Completion package
Updated books, reconciled balances, an open-item list, key reports, and recommendations for the ongoing process.
Cleanup is complete only when the records are understandable, supportable, and ready for a reliable monthly routine.
