How It Works
Current books diagnostic
Assess transaction entry and month-end work together so responsibility does not stop at an unreconciled bank feed.
Cleanup and close design
Organize the ledger, supporting documents, recurring entries, and an achievable close calendar.
Recurring monthly execution
Complete bookkeeping and reconciliations, review balance sheet accounts, and resolve the largest exceptions before reporting.
Ongoing reporting and quality review
Issue a period-end package and track recurring issues so subsequent months require less rework.
Your Role
Provide period-end statements, bills, receipts, and payroll reports by the agreed dates, and approve decisions involving estimates or unusual activity.
Service Scope
The agreed accounting basis, entities, and accounts define the work. Prior-period reconstruction, audit procedures, and tax filings are separate services.
