Rush Bookkeeping: When You Need Your Books Done Fast

Sometimes a deadline sneaks up on you. Maybe your accountant needs clean books by Friday, a lender is requesting financial statements for a loan application, or CRA has sent a review letter with a two-week response window. Whatever the reason, you need your books done fast.

What Is Rush Bookkeeping?

Rush bookkeeping is an accelerated catch-up service designed for businesses that need their financial records brought current on a tight timeline. Instead of the usual multi-week turnaround for catch-up work, rush bookkeeping compresses the process into days.

When Does Rush Bookkeeping Make Sense?

• Loan or mortgage applications. Lenders require up-to-date financial statements, and delays in your books can hold up funding.
• CRA reviews or audits. When CRA requests documentation, the clock is ticking. Having clean, organised records ready quickly can make the difference between a smooth review and a costly reassessment.
• Tax filing deadlines. If your fiscal year-end has passed and your books are months behind, rush bookkeeping gets you filing-ready before penalties accumulate.
• Business sale or partnership changes. Buyers and new partners need accurate financials during due diligence.
• Grant applications. Many government grants require current financial statements as part of the application package.

How Castle Handles Rush Work

Castle Bookkeeping offers rush bookkeeping as a dedicated service. We assign a senior bookkeeper to your file, prioritise your work above our regular queue, and deliver clean, reconciled books within the agreed timeline. Rush turnarounds are typically 3 to 7 business days depending on the volume of transactions and how far behind your records are.

What We Need From You

To deliver rush bookkeeping on time, we need a few things upfront: access to your bank and credit-card statements (or online banking login), any receipts or invoices you have on hand, and access to your accounting software (QuickBooks Online, Xero, or similar). The faster we get access, the faster we deliver.

Rush Pricing

Rush bookkeeping is priced as a one-time project based on the number of months and transaction volume involved. A rush surcharge applies to reflect the accelerated timeline and dedicated resources. We provide a fixed quote before starting so there are no surprises.
