Xero clean up and catch up projects for businesses that need accurate numbers again.
When bookkeeping has fallen behind or historical issues have accumulated, the goal isn't simply to reconcile the bank. Strategic Growth Hub investigates the underlying problems, corrects the records and rebuilds your Xero file so your financial information can be relied upon again.
When your Xero file needs more than a quick tidy up.
Xero clean ups can range from simple catch up work through to a more detailed tax-ready review. Some files simply need bank reconciliations and bills brought up to date. Others need a deeper review of accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, BAS periods and balance sheet accounts.
This is a focused project designed to get your accounts accurate, up to date and ready for BAS, tax, reporting or handover to your accountant.
From overdue bookkeeping to a reliable, tax-ready Xero file.
Every project is different. Some businesses simply need overdue bookkeeping brought up to date, while others require a detailed review of historical transactions, balance sheet accounts and compliance before the file can be relied upon again.
Catch Up Bookkeeping
Bringing overdue bookkeeping up to date through bank reconciliations, supplier bills, transaction coding, missing documentation and historical processing.
BAS & GST Review
Reviewing GST treatment, BAS periods, unreconciled transactions and other issues that may affect compliance before lodgements are completed.
Tax-Ready File Restoration
Reviewing balance sheet accounts, payroll, superannuation, loans, receivables and payables to restore confidence in the financial records before accountant handover.
Clean ups are one of our specialty services.
With extensive bookkeeping and BAS experience, we can quickly identify what needs to be fixed, what can be cleaned up efficiently, and what needs accountant input before changes are made.
The goal is simple: get the file caught up, clean up the obvious issues, flag anything that needs review, and give you back a Xero file you can rely on.
Our clean up focus
- Fast review of the current file position
- Clear scope before work begins
- Efficient catch up and reconciliation
- Issues flagged clearly for accountant review
- Practical handover once complete
From complete chaos
to tax-ready in 8 days.
A real client file on intake — every account behind, payroll unprocessed, four quarters of BAS outstanding. This is what a neglected Xero file actually looks like, and what a proper catch-up delivers.

This service is ideal if your bookkeeping has fallen behind.
This may be right for you if:
- Your Xero file is behind or unreliable
- You need BAS periods caught up
- Your accountant needs the file cleaned up
- You have changed bookkeepers
- You need fast turnaround
- You want an experienced bookkeeper to take ownership
This is not ideal if:
- You are looking for the cheapest possible fix

- You are not able to provide missing information
- You need daily meetings or constant check-ins
- You want a fixed package before the file is reviewed
Every Xero clean up is scoped individually.
Clean up and catch up projects are quoted after discovery because every file is different. The price depends on how far behind the file is, the transaction volume, number of accounts, payroll complexity, BAS periods involved and whether a balance sheet review is required.
Once we understand the file condition and the outcome required, we will provide a clear quote before any work begins.
Pricing depends on:
- How far behind the file is
- Transaction volume
- Number of bank accounts
- Supplier bill volume
- Payroll and super complexity
- BAS periods involved
- Level of balance sheet review required
Need ongoing support afterwards?
Many businesses choose to continue working with SGH after their clean up project is complete. Once your bookkeeping is accurate again, we can continue managing the finance function so it stays that way.
Continue with ongoing support
If you're ready to hand over the day-to-day bookkeeping, payroll, BAS and monthly reporting, we can provide ongoing finance support tailored to your business.
Or simply complete the project
There is absolutely no obligation to continue beyond the clean up. Many businesses simply want their Xero file corrected, brought up to date and ready for their accountant or internal team to manage going forward.
