We can manage your full monthly close
This works well when the books are mostly current, but month-end still depends on reminders. We handle the reconciliations, entries, review, and monthly report.
The first stretch of the month, ending with the reporting package
Transactions are recorded, but reconciliations, close tasks, or reporting still run late.
- Good fit
- Books are mostly current, but reconciliations, close tasks, or reporting still slip.
- We handle
- Reconciliations, monthly entries, the close checklist, balance sheet review, open items, and reporting.
- Optional
- Tax services or oversight, once the close is dependable.
When the work happens
The monthly close happens at the start of the month. We schedule other work around it.
What we handle each month
We maintain the accounting records and schedules listed below. Tax preparation, filing, and tax-specific records support are confirmed separately under Tax Services.
- Bank and credit card reconciliations, all accounts
- Recurring and adjusting journal entries
- Accruals, prepaids, and deferrals
- Payroll journal entries from provider reports, and owner draws
- Fixed asset and loan schedules for the accounting records
- Intercompany activity across entities
- Month-end close checklist
- Balance sheet review for every account
- Reporting package with written review notes
- An open-items list carried forward with dates
When this service fits
- Transactions are recorded, but reconciliations still slip.
- Close tasks and balance sheet review happen late or informally.
- Reporting arrives without notes, or with open questions nobody owns.
- The file needs recurring support, not a rebuild.
What changes
- We finish the close on an agreed date instead of a rough week.
- Open items are tracked instead of resurfacing three months later.
- Reporting explains what changed and what still needs a decision.
- A lender or preparer can be handed the file without a cleanup first.
What it costs
We set a fixed monthly fee after the review. It depends on transaction volume, account complexity, entity count, and the level of review required. The fee changes only when the scope changes, and we confirm that in writing first.
We don't bill by the hour or charge for questions. If prior periods need repair first, we quote that work separately as cleanup.
Request a reviewQuestions that come up
Do you take over the whole close, or work alongside what we have?
Either. We can handle the full monthly close or work with your current bookkeeper. That works well when you need review, follow-up, and coordination rather than data entry.
What do you need to see first?
A recent profit and loss, balance sheet, and chart of accounts. Tell us where the month usually breaks down. That's enough to start the review.
What if the books are badly behind?
Cleanup comes first. We scope and quote it separately, then agree on when monthly work will start.
What usually comes after this?
Tax services and oversight can support a dependable close. If your team handles the work but wants a more efficient process, we can scope a process improvement project.
Request a monthly accounting review
Send a short note. If it looks like we can help, we'll arrange read-only access and review the last three months. Then we'll send the scope, fee, and proposed close date.
