Your year-end wake-up call · 2026 / 2027
Get your
books together.
Before tax season catches up with you.Behind on bookkeeping? Bank accounts, payroll, contractor records and business taxes all connect. Totalis helps you sort out what is missing and get the work moving.
The year-end to-do list
There’s more to closing the year
than clicking “reconcile.”
Missing expenses. Unmatched deposits. Payroll differences. Contractor paperwork. If this list feels longer than the time you have, you’re in the right place.
A starting point for your business, not a list of requirements for everyone. The work depends on your records, entity, employees and filing obligations.
Catch up the books
- Gather missing bank, credit-card and loan statements.
- Bring overdue months of bookkeeping up to date.
- Find missing receipts and uncategorized transactions.
- Review duplicate entries, transfers and opening balances.
- Separate business activity from owner contributions and personal spending.
We help turn the backlog into a defined cleanup scope.
Reconcile every moving part
- Match bank and credit-card accounts to their statements.
- Trace payment-processor and POS deposits, fees and refunds.
- Review outstanding checks, deposits and clearing-account balances.
- Check customer invoices, unpaid bills and unapplied payments.
- Tie loan balances, principal and interest to supporting records.
We investigate the differences instead of forcing the books to balance.
Clean up payroll records
- Reconcile payroll reports to wages, taxes and benefits in the books.
- Match payroll withdrawals and tax payments to the bank.
- Review payroll liabilities for unpaid or duplicate amounts.
- Check employee details and year-to-date payroll totals.
- Identify differences to resolve before year-end payroll reporting.
We help untangle payroll records and coordinate the corrections needed.
Organize contractors & 1099s
- Collect missing W-9s through an appropriate secure process.
- Review payee names, addresses and taxpayer details.
- Summarize contractor payments and how they were paid.
- Review which payments and recipients require information reporting.
- Prepare applicable 1099s and organize filing records.
We help get the records ready before forms need to go out.
Get ready for business taxes
- Review the year-end profit and loss and balance sheet.
- Organize equipment purchases, disposals and financing records.
- Gather inventory, mileage and other supporting schedules that apply.
- Identify open questions, missing information and prior-year carryforwards.
- Prepare and file the business returns included in your engagement.
We connect cleanup and tax preparation so questions don’t get lost between them.
Stop rebuilding the same backlog
- Set a repeatable monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation routine.
- Keep payroll reports and liabilities aligned throughout the year.
- Collect contractor information before the next year-end scramble.
- Keep documents and unresolved questions in one organized process.
- Choose ongoing bookkeeping and payroll support that fits your business.
We can help with the catch-up work and the routine that comes after it.
