It's hard to start
The longer it's been, the more the first step feels like a mountain.
Books years behind · Malaysia
Your books are years behind.
It's fixable.
No judgement, and no lecture. Most of the companies we help were several years behind.
Why it matters
A long backlog gets heavier,
not smaller.
Avoiding it is completely understandable. The trouble is that the pile keeps growing while your picture of the business gets older and blurrier.
You don't know where you stand
Without records, it's impossible to answer even simple questions about the company.
It surfaces at the worst time
Financing, a buyer, a bank, a family matter — the records get asked for when you can least afford the delay.
You don't have to rebuild it yourself. Reconstructing old records is methodical, not clever — and it's exactly the sort of work worth handing over.
Who this is for
Built for companies that quietly stopped keeping records
If nobody has entered a transaction in years and the bank statements are the only complete record, this is the right starting point.
Several years with no entries?
Bank statements are usually enough to rebuild it.
Business changed a lot since then?
We work through it period by period.
Not sure you even have the paperwork?
Tell us what you have — we'll say what's possible.
Embarrassed about how long it's been?
We've seen far longer. It isn't a problem.
The relief
One catch-up.
Then the years stop stacking up.
The backlog gets rebuilt in a sensible order, and from then on it's an ordinary monthly routine instead of an annual dread.
- Old years reconstructed, oldest first
- Built from bank statements and what you have
- Gaps flagged rather than guessed at
- Assumptions written down for you to check
- A one-off catch-up fee, quoted up front
- Monthly cycle once it's current
How it works
Start with one thing: your bank statements.
You don't need to find everything before we begin. We work with what exists.
-
01
Tell us the span
Which years are missing, roughly how many transactions a month, and what records still exist.
-
02
We quote the catch-up
A one-off fee for the backlog, priced before we start. Monthly fees are separate and start afterwards.
-
03
We rebuild it, then keep it current
Records are reconstructed period by period and reconciled. From there it's a normal monthly cycle.
One quiet place
Watch the backlog shrink, period by period.
Progress is visible instead of vague — so you can see the mountain turning back into ordinary work.
- Which periods are complete
- Which one is in progress
- What's still needed from you

Peace of mind
Stop dreading the question about your records.
- “How many years behind am I, really?”
- “What happens if the bank asks for accounts?”
- “Is there even any paperwork left?”
- “How much would it cost to fix?”
- “Where would I possibly start?”
Zentrusted gives you one simple answer:
Tell us the years. We'll quote the catch-up and start with the oldest.
What's included
Clear scope. Honest about what a catch-up can't do.
Rebuilding records fixes the records. It doesn't by itself resolve anything that happened while they were missing — and we'll always say so plainly.
Zentrusted handles
- Reconstructing the missing periods
- Working from bank statements and records you have
- Reconciling each period as we go
- Documenting the assumptions made
- Bringing the books current, then keeping them there
We'll be upfront about
- We can't reverse missed deadlines or filings
- We don't give legal, tax or accounting advice
- Penalties and statutory positions are for your adviser
- A catch-up is charged separately from the monthly fee
If deadlines were missed, that's a conversation for your bookkeeper or adviser — and it's better to have it with accurate records in front of you than without.
The oldest year is the one to start. Tell us how far back it goes and we'll quote it.

FAQ
Questions about a long backlog.
Still curious? Get in touch via live chat, WhatsApp, call or email — our team will reach out to you.
Ask us anythingCan you reconstruct books with almost no paperwork?
Usually, yes — bank statements are the backbone. Sales and purchase records help us be more precise, but we can work around gaps and will tell you where an assumption was made.
How far back can you go?
It depends on what statements and records still exist. Tell us the years involved and we'll be straight about what's realistic.
Will this fix missed filings or penalties?
No. We rebuild the records. Anything to do with deadlines, penalties or statutory position needs your bookkeeper or adviser — we'll just make sure you're not doing it blind.
How is a catch-up priced?
One-off, based mainly on the number of periods and the volume of transactions in each. We quote it before any work starts.
Do you do the oldest years first?
Yes — that's the order that makes the rest of the work reliable, and it means each period is built on a complete previous one.
What happens after the catch-up?
It becomes an ordinary monthly routine, so a backlog like this doesn't build up again.
