Monthly bookkeeping and month-end close
A documented close every month, with financial statements delivered on an agreed schedule.
The same reliable close, every month
Keeping books current is a repeating job. Bills arrive, customers pay late, and accounts drift out of balance if no one checks them. A structured month-end close catches these problems while they're still small.
We run your close from a written checklist. Each month covers accounts payable and receivable, bank and card reconciliations, accruals and prepaids, payroll entries, and a review of balance sheet accounts before statements go out.
You receive a profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement each month, with a short commentary on what changed and anything that needs your attention.
