Modern accounting software can automatically import transactions from your bank and credit card accounts, but you still need to categorize each one. If categorization feels slow or unfamiliar, hiring an accountant to catch up might save you time.
How can I quickly catch up on my bookkeeping? You just gotta get it done. There is not a magic bullet here. There's not a magic solution. That being said, accounting softwares are pretty cool because it can link to your bank accounts and credit card statements. And once you link them, it will download and can download a whole bunch of transactions all at once. That is a quick way to catch it up, but that's not the end of the story. Once you import data into your accounting software, you are going to need to have those categorized. And by categorize, I mean, is this an expense for advertising? Was this income? Is this an office expense? Is it travel? Those are different categories that you need to label. If you've never done that before, it could take you a while to get that done. So if you're looking to get your bookkeeping caught up quickly, how quick are you with doing your own bookkeeping? If the answer is anything other than quick, you may want to consider hiring an accounting firm to help you get caught up.
