Keep monthly close from turning into a document hunt.

Set up recurring monthly document requests, give each period a due date, and see what is missing before review or reconciliation work begins.

MONTHLY CLOSE CHECKLIST

May 2026 close

Due Jun 10

Still missing

Bank statement

Sales report

Pending review

Payroll report

Ready

Receipt batch

24 missing

6 pending review

8 clients waiting

Keep bank statements, receipts, payroll, sales reports, and other recurring files in one repeatable request list.

Give each client period a due date so the team knows when follow-up should start.

Uploaded files can stay pending review until a staff member confirms the file is usable.

Close work gets harder when the team starts review before the collection picture is clean.

Bank statements arrive late

Sales reports are sent through a different channel

Payroll files are uploaded but not reviewed

Staff do not know which client still needs follow-up

Review starts before the collection status is clear

Move from recurring checklist to reviewed documents before reconciliation work starts.

Start each client with a clear month, due date, and checklist.

Clients receive one link that shows the documents still needed.

The team can see what is missing, what arrived, and what still needs review.

Uploaded files can be accepted, rejected, or marked received before the request is completed.

The collection view gives the team a cleaner handoff before review, reconciliation, or close work begins.
