What's inside
Everything to run a month-end close, end to end
A ~20-page system, not a template. Each part does one job and connects to the next.
01
Six phase SOPs
Cut-off, reconciliations, accruals, review, reporting, lock — each with a trigger, numbered steps, and "what good looks like."
02
A decision tree per phase
Not just the bank rec. Every phase carries its exception logic in the four-node vocabulary — no dead ends.
03
The close timetable
A working-day schedule with owners and tick-boxes. Copy it per client and count back from your deadline.
04
Reviewer sign-off pack
The questions a reviewer answers before sign-off — each mapped to a phase, building the audit trail.
05
Exception playbook & variants
The four exception types with standard responses, plus entity-type variants (sole trader to group).
06
PathPilot import
The whole branching close as a one-click import — the document becomes a live workflow your team runs.
Why not a checklist?
A checklist tells you what to do. A system tells you what to do when something's wrong.

Good to know
Growing accounting, bookkeeping, tax and fractional-CFO firms — roughly 5 to 50 staff. It's built for firms with a team to coordinate a close, not solo practitioners doing one set of books.
