What it does

Front-loads the messy parts of close. Five business days before month-end, the colleague audits the period’s transactions, finds the common blockers (missing receipts, untagged spend, stuck approvals), and DMs each owner with the specific items they need to fix.

How it works

  1. Scan. Audit the current period’s transactions in the GL system against your close-readiness rules.
  2. Route. Map each blocker to its owner. DM each person with just their list. Post a roll-up to the finance team.

Setup

  • Connect a GL system (QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite).
  • Connect a messaging channel (Slack or Teams).
  • Configure the close-readiness rules and ownership mapping.

Variations

  • Run a second sweep T-1 with only outstanding items.
  • Auto-create approval tasks in the AP system instead of (or in addition to) DMs.
  • Add a forecast vs actual variance section for the CFO.
