Year-end stalls on the last open item
The adjusting entries take an afternoon. The loan statement, the asset receipts and a straight answer on that owner transfer take weeks.
A checklist built from their answers
The questionnaire decides which records each business owes you, so a service firm never gets asked for an inventory count.
Open items in one request
When a balance won't tie out, your bookkeeper sends one list of questions instead of ten emails.
A clean handoff to tax
Final statements and carryforward notes sit in one place, ready for the business return.
- Complete the year-end questionnaire
- Upload year-end records
- Answer open items
- Review the final statements
