Month-End Close Checklist (FREE)

Description
Never miss a close step again.
The month-end close is where good finance teams earn their reputation — and where a single forgotten step can mean a misstated balance or an awkward question from the auditors. This checklist gives you 25 close tasks across bank, AR, AP, payroll, tax, fixed assets and reporting — each with an owner, a due day, a status dropdown and an automatic progress tracker. Reset it every month and never miss a step.

What's inside:

• 25 professional close tasks organised across 7 sections, covering the full close from bank reconciliation through to final reporting
• An owner, due day, status dropdown and notes field for every task — so everyone knows what's theirs and when it's due
• An automatic progress % that updates as you work, sensibly excluding any tasks you've marked N/A
• Colour-coded statuses at a glance: green for done, amber for in progress
  
  

Built to a finance-grade standard. That means zero formula errors, and a built-in Checks tab of automated integrity tests (it ships ALL PASS — and tells you immediately if anything breaks later). It follows industry colour conventions (BLUE = your inputs, BLACK = calculated formulas), so you always know exactly which cells are safe to edit. The layout is print-ready A4 with repeated headers, and there are no macros — nothing to enable, nothing for IT to worry about. An Instructions tab is included, so you'll be up and running in minutes.

Who it's for: small accounting teams and bookkeepers who want a repeatable, accountable close — without building the tracker themselves.
