What the close actually is

Read what the close actually is

A closed month is a month that agrees with the bank, the card accounts, and the bills you already know about. Categories are dull on purpose. You should be able to see what came in, what went out, and what is still owed without a tour of someone else's software.

Statements and reports come after that match, not before it. A pretty report on an open month is a story. A plain report on a closed month is something you can hand to a lender or use to decide a purchase.

We keep the books and prepare the return, and Steven Palmieri, a Tax CFO and the Entrepreneur's CFO, is the person who ties a month and will still explain that month in July. A July question comes back to the month we already tied, so the answer does not start from a file the caller has never seen. The same person who tied the month walks it through on the video call.

A large team can be wonderful until the person you met is on leave and the file is with someone who has to learn your vendors from scratch. Ask, before you start, who picks up when you call in July. If the answer is a queue, you already know the cost.

What to send first

Read what to send first

Send the bank activity and the last month you already trust. A spotless year is not the ticket into the first conversation on this practice. You do need to say how far back the rest of the months are, in plain words.

Old months get finished so this year is readable. That cleanup covers the older months that never got a close. The current month stays closed on its own calendar. The choices you can still make before December are easier when those older months are not still sitting open.

A lot of owners still want a person rather than a lobby, and the distance across the city is not what decides it. Say if that is you, and say if the worry is July. A straight answer names who picks up and who covers the week that person is away. Bring the bank activity for the month you trust and leave the rest as a plain count of how far behind you are. The file should already know your vendors before that week starts.
