Are there any prior-period cleanup services that handle short turnaround and prior-period adjustments?

Yes — some prior-period cleanup / catch-up bookkeeping services do handle:

• Short turnaround work
• Prior-period adjustments
• Historical reconciliation
• Backlog cleanup for missed months or quarters
• Restatements / corrected entries if prior reports need revision

That said, availability depends on the provider and the complexity of the issue. Firms that commonly offer this include:

• Bookkeeping cleanup specialists
• Outsourced accounting firms
• CPA firms with catch-up bookkeeping
• Controller/CFO service providers
• Industry-specific accounting providers if the records are complex

When evaluating them, ask specifically:

1. Can you work on an urgent deadline?
2. Do you handle prior-period journal entries and adjustments?
3. Will you reconcile bank, credit card, payroll, loan, and AR/AP accounts?
4. Can you prepare corrected financials for prior periods if needed?
5. What data do you need from me to start quickly?
6. How do you handle confidentiality and audit trails?

If you want, I can also help you with:

• a short list of questions to send vendors
• a scope of work template
• or how to find a firm that can turn this around quickly
