What this service is
Month-end close is the set of steps that turns a month of recorded transactions into final, checked numbers. After each month ends we reconcile every bank, card, and loan account, record the adjusting entries day-to-day bookkeeping doesn't capture, accruals, prepaid expenses, depreciation, review the results against last month and budget, and then lock the period so the numbers stop changing. You receive the same financial package on the same schedule every month.
Forms & documents involved
What we actually do
Reconcile cash, card, and loan accounts
Match every statement balance to the ledger and resolve missing, duplicate, or misdated entries.
Record accruals and adjustments
Book expenses incurred but not yet billed, revenue earned but not yet invoiced, prepaid amortization, and depreciation.
Tie out balance sheet accounts
Reconcile receivables, payables, payroll liabilities, sales tax payable, and loans to their supporting schedules.
Review variances before release
Compare results to the prior month and budget and investigate unusual swings before anyone relies on the numbers.
Lock the period and deliver the package
Close the period in your accounting software so prior months can't change silently, then deliver the financial statements.
Maintain the close checklist and calendar
Keep a written record of each step, who owns it, and the business day it is due, updated as the business changes.

What You Get

Adjusting Entries & Accruals
Accrual-basis adjustments, prepaid amortization, and depreciation entries recorded consistently each month.
Close Calendar & schedule
A fixed monthly schedule so the close lands on the same business day range every month, not whenever time allows.
Variance Review
A month-over-month and budget-to-actual variance check built into the close, catching errors before the package goes out.
- Documented close checklist and calendar
- Reconciled balance sheet each month
- Adjusting entry and accrual schedule

How It Works
Current close process assessment
Map each balance sheet account to a supporting schedule and identify unfinished reconciliations from earlier periods.
Checklist and calendar design
Sequence bank, receivable, payable, payroll, and accrual work around an agreed cutoff and review date.
First closes run under the new process with review
Run the first close, investigate unusual balances, and document adjustments with supporting evidence.
Ongoing execution with monthly quality check
Release the financial package with open items assigned to an owner; use the next close to resolve recurring bottlenecks.
Your Role
Provide complete statements, unpaid invoices, payroll changes, and unusual transactions before the agreed cutoff. Confirm estimates and approve entries that require management judgment.
Service Scope
Prior-period cleanup, inventory counts, and rebuilding missing schedules are assessed separately. A monthly close does not provide an audit opinion.
