A month-end closing checklist for a small finance function: reconciliations, accruals, review steps, and the errors each step exists to catch.
Build our month-end close checklist. Context: {{context}} (accounting software, who does the books, business complexity: inventory? multiple entities? foreign currency? payroll size).
Sequence: bank and credit-card reconciliations (all accounts — list them), receivables review (what's overdue, what's doubtful), payables completeness (the invoice-that-hasn't-arrived accrual), payroll and super reconciliation, GST coding review (the 5 miscoding classics), inventory/WIP if applicable, the accruals and prepayments worth bothering with at my size, and the review pass — P&L vs last month and budget with 'explain anything ±X%'. Per item: who, time estimate, and WHAT ERROR IT CATCHES (checklists survive when people know why each line exists). Target: close by day {{target_day}}.
Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
