The answer is yes. And it happens more often than you would think.
Three years of missing records feels catastrophic when you are inside it. But financial data rarely disappears completely. It lives in bank portals. In merchant processing platforms. In email threads with vendors. In old tax filings. In payroll software. The records exist... they just need to be found, organized, and reconciled.

Where the Data Lives When the Books Are Gone
Bank statements are retrievable for up to seven years from most financial institutions. Credit card statements carry the same timeline. Payment processors like Square, Stripe, and PayPal archive transaction histories. Vendors keep invoices. Payroll providers maintain detailed records.
Reconstruction is the process of collecting all of it and making it tell a coherent story.
The Process Is Methodical, Not Magical
We start with a document inventory. We identify every source still accessible and request what needs to be retrieved. We reconcile deposits against income, categorize expenses using IRS-compliant methods, and build out your ledger year by year until the picture is complete.
Three years of missing records is a significant project. It is not an impossible one. The Fixer Firm has done it. We can do it for you.
