Rescue Results
• 18-Month Ledger Reconstruction
“I was waking up at 3 AM worrying about the IRS. Elemental had us completely caught up in 10 days.”
Trinity Framing had expanded from 4 to 19 crew members in eighteen months. As job volume exploded, receipts were tossed in truck consoles, merchant purchases mixed with owner accounts, and 2022 and 2023 taxes went unfiled. When the IRS issued formal notice, the company could not get surety bonding for new bids.
Ledgers successfully accepted by Frost Bank for an expanded $500,000 working capital facility.

Frequently Asked Questions About Catch-Up Bookkeeping
Everything you need to know about handing over your historical messy records.
Most 1-year clean-up projects require between 5 to 10 business days once we receive bank and software credentials. If you are dealing with multi-year backlogs (2 to 4+ years), projects usually take 2 to 3 weeks. If you face an urgent bank deadline or pending IRS levy, let our team know during diagnostic intake so we can assign rapid-response resources.
We provide a guaranteed flat-rate quote based purely on the number of accounts (checking, credit card, loans), average monthly transaction volume, and the degree of clean-up required (e.g., untangling co-mingled personal expenses). You will never receive an unpredictable open-ended hourly invoice.
No. That is one of the biggest relief points for our clients. In 95% of clean-up work, we extract and substantiate records electronically using electronic bank and credit card statement feeds, vendor clearinghouses, check images, and digital invoice repositories. We only request physical receipts for ambiguous capital equipment purchases.
Absolutely. Elemental Tax & Bookkeeping is a full-service tax firm. Once our bookkeeping specialists produce clean, balanced financial reports, our in-house Enrolled Agents and tax practitioners can immediately prepare your delinquent federal and state business returns (Forms 1120, 1120-S, 1065, or Schedule C) and request IRS penalty abatement where applicable.
