Month-end close: a checklist that prevents surprises
A disciplined close turns accounting from a monthly scramble into a reliable rhythm. Here is the checklist we use.
Nguyễn Lan
Managing Partner
A reliable month-end close is the foundation of trustworthy reporting. The difference between chaos and calm is a checklist that the whole team follows.
Reconcile everything
Bank, AR, AP and intercompany balances reconciled before anything else.
Accruals and cut-off
Apply consistent cut-off rules so revenue and cost land in the right period.
If your close is unpredictable, our team can take it over or coach yours.
