Special situations

Records reconstruction

When the original books are gone, incomplete, or unreliable, Finbryn's records reconstruction rebuilds a business's financial history in QuickBooks Online or Xero from bank, card and processor statements instead of the missing internal records. You get a reconstructed profit and loss and balance sheet for each affected period, with every assumption documented so a credentialed preparer or a lender can rely on the result.

What is included

  • Transaction history rebuilt directly from bank, card and processor statements
  • A chart of accounts reconstructed to match how the business actually operates
  • Missing invoices and bills sourced where possible, with clear notes where they cannot be
  • A reconstructed profit and loss and balance sheet for each affected period
  • A documented list of assumptions and gaps a preparer or lender can review
  • IRS transcripts pulled where a prior filing itself is missing
  • A specific flag on any foreign-owned LLC recordkeeping exposure found during the work

The process

  1. 1.

    Inventory what survives

    We catalog every bank, card and processor statement, prior filing, and partial software file that still exists before deciding what needs rebuilding.

  2. 2.

    Pull external anchors

    Where a prior return or filing is missing, we request an IRS transcript or state filing copy rather than reconstruct a number that was already reported.

  3. 3.

    Rebuild the chart of accounts

    A chart of accounts is built to match how the business operates today, replacing any structure that no longer fits.

  4. 4.

    Map transactions period by period

    Every statement transaction is mapped into the rebuilt chart of accounts, working one period at a time so errors do not compound silently.

  5. 5.

    Source missing documents

    We request missing invoices and bills from vendors where a relationship still exists, and log what cannot be recovered.

  6. 6.

    Document assumptions and gaps

    Every estimate is written into a documented list with its basis, distinct from figures confirmed against a statement.

  7. 7.

    Hand over reconciled periods

    Completed periods move into ongoing monthly bookkeeping once the reconstruction for that stretch is finished.

Software

QuickBooks Online, Xero, Dext, Hubdoc

Quality control

Once the reconstruction is complete, ongoing bookkeeping runs the same way any engagement here does: reconciled monthly, closed early in the following month, reviewed by a senior reviewer before it reaches you.

Pricing

Records reconstruction is priced by how much source material survives and how many periods are affected, not a flat fee. The rate card on the pricing page shows the ongoing monthly tier your volume will land in once reconstruction is complete; the reconstruction fee itself is confirmed in writing after we review your available statements and documents.
