2 · Close Workflow

How the Year-End Close Support Process Works

A controlled sequence keeps reconciliations, open items, adjustments and handoff documentation connected instead of treating the close as a last-minute list of unrelated fixes.

Scope & Book Health

Confirm entity, close period, account count, book status and material problem areas.

Collect Close Support

Gather statements, schedules, aging reports, payroll/loan support and existing close notes.

Reconcile Accounts

Work through closing-period bank, card and agreed balance-sheet reconciliations.

Review Balances

Check AR/AP, clearing items, accrual support, classifications and adjustment requirements.

Review Close Output

Review trial balance and financial-statement exports for unresolved or unusual items.

Prepare Handoff Pack

Organize close status, exceptions, schedules and agreed reports for final finance review.

3 · Close Control Areas

Where Year-End Close Support Focuses

A reliable close is more than producing a Profit & Loss statement. It depends on whether key accounts tie to support, whether old or unclear items are identified, and whether the final numbers can be reviewed without retracing the entire year.

Important: Rudrriv can support bookkeeping close work and documentation. Management judgments, tax positions, valuations, statutory filings and audit/attest conclusions remain with the responsible qualified party unless a separate appropriate scope is confirmed.

Reconciliations

Compare agreed financial accounts to statements or supporting schedules and surface differences that still need resolution.

Balance-Sheet Integrity

Review receivables, payables, clearing accounts, loans and other agreed balances for support and obvious carry-forward issues.

Close Adjustments

Organize support for accruals, prepayments, reclassifications and other agreed bookkeeping adjustments before final review.

Review Trail

Document completed checks, unresolved questions and handoff notes so the close is easier for another finance professional to follow.

4 · What We Need

What to Prepare Before the Close Starts

Providing the right source records early reduces avoidable back-and-forth and helps us identify whether you need a fixed plan or a broader cleanup project.

Accounting file or exports

Access to the current accounting system or relevant ledger, trial balance and financial-statement exports.

Core input
Bank & card statements

Closing-period statements for every bank, credit card or payment account included in the agreed scope.

Reconciliation
AR/AP aging

Receivable and payable aging or supporting customer/vendor details where those accounts need review.

Balance support
Loan & payroll support

Year-end lender statements, payroll summaries or related schedules where those balances are in scope.

As relevant
Fixed-asset records

Asset register, purchase/disposal support or prior depreciation schedule where fixed assets require a tie-out.

As relevant
Prior close notes

Last close checklist, accountant questions or known unresolved items that should be considered this year.

Helpful context
Material invoices & support

Documents supporting significant year-end balances, accruals, prepayments or unusual transactions.

Evidence
Review contact

One person who can answer close questions and approve classifications or provide missing documentation.

Summary
6 · Before & After

From a Loose Year-End Process to a Reviewable Close

This is a working-state comparison, not a claim about financial outcomes. It shows the direct improvements a structured close-support engagement can create in the records and review process.

BeforeStatements and books do not clearly tie

Closing-period differences remain buried in the ledger or are carried forward without clear notes.

AfterReconciliation status is documented

Agreed accounts are tied out or the remaining differences are clearly identified for review.

BeforeOld clearing or suspense items are unclear

Unresolved balances are difficult to trace and may continue into the next period.

AfterOpen items are surfaced and assigned

Items are categorized as resolved, awaiting support or requiring management/accountant review.

BeforeAdjustments live in scattered emails or notes

There is no single view of what was proposed, supported or still waiting for approval.

AfterAdjustment support is organized

Agreed bookkeeping adjustments and unresolved questions are captured in a close schedule.

BeforeYear-end handoff requires repeated explanations

The next reviewer has to rebuild context from exports, messages and memory.

AfterClose pack provides a clear review trail

Key reports, schedules and open-item notes are grouped for a more structured handoff.

7 · Scope Boundaries

Know What the Close Support Covers — and What Needs Separate Expertise

Clear boundaries protect the quality of the close and prevent bookkeeping support from being confused with tax, audit or specialist accounting advice.

Commonly Within Scope

  • Closing-period bookkeeping reconciliations
  • General-ledger and balance-sheet support review
  • AR/AP and clearing-account checks
  • Bookkeeping adjustment schedules based on available support
  • Trial-balance and financial-statement review for obvious close exceptions
  • Close checklist, open-item list and handoff documentation

Quoted Separately or Referred

  • Several months of catch-up or historical reconstruction
  • Multi-entity consolidation and complex intercompany accounting
  • Inventory valuation, specialist valuations or technical accounting memos
  • Tax return preparation, tax positions or statutory filing
  • Audit, review, compilation or other attest services
  • Legal, regulatory or jurisdiction-specific professional opinions
8 · When It Helps

When Businesses Use Year-End Close Support

The service is useful when the year-end workload is concentrated, the internal team needs additional execution capacity or the books need a structured final review before another finance professional takes over.

Lean Finance Team

Internal staff handle routine accounting but need added capacity to complete the final close checklist and reconciliations.

Bookkeeper Transition

A business wants to organize year-end status and open items before moving to a new bookkeeper or accounting provider.

Accountant / CPA Handoff

The business needs clearer support schedules and reports before sending the books for tax or external accounting review.

Close Process Reset

The prior year-end was ad hoc and the business wants a more structured checklist, ownership trail and close pack this time.

9 · Why Rudrriv

Built Around a Clear, Controlled Finance Workflow

The value of close support comes from disciplined execution, transparent scope and a handoff that makes unresolved items visible instead of hiding them.

Close Calendar Focus

Work is organized around the final-period close sequence and agreed delivery window.

Balance Visibility

Key reconciliation and balance-review issues are surfaced for follow-up rather than left implicit.

Documented Handoff

Close files and open-item notes are arranged so another reviewer can follow the work more easily.

Scope Discipline

Bookkeeping support is kept separate from tax, audit and specialist judgments that need qualified review.

Global Delivery

Remote support is structured for businesses worldwide, subject to platform, records and scope fit.

10 · Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About Year-End Close Support

Use these answers to understand scope, pricing, timing, deliverables and the boundary between bookkeeping close support and specialist professional work.

What is included in Year-End Close Support?

Year-End Close Support can cover closing-period reconciliations, general-ledger review, balance-sheet account checks, AR/AP and clearing-account review, adjustment schedule support, financial-statement review and an organized close handoff pack. The exact depth depends on the selected plan and the condition of your books.

How much does Year-End Close Support cost?

Plans on this page start at $45 USD for a focused Close Check. Reconcile & Close is $85 USD and the Year-End Close Pack is $120 USD. Backlogs, multi-entity books, inventory, complex payroll, foreign-currency activity or materially incomplete records are scoped separately.

How long does the year-end close work take?

Standard delivery is 5–7 working days after the required records and access are available. Timing can change when records are incomplete, several accounts need reconstruction, client answers are delayed or the scope is more complex than the selected plan.

Do you prepare or file tax returns as part of this service?

No tax filing is included in the standard Year-End Close Support plans shown here. The service is designed to help organize and close the accounting records and prepare a cleaner handoff. Tax positions, tax return preparation, statutory filing and regulated attest work should be handled by the appropriately qualified professional under a separately confirmed scope.

What information do you need to begin?

Typical inputs include accounting-system access or exports, bank and credit-card statements for the closing period, the latest trial balance or financial statements, AR/AP aging, loan and payroll summaries where relevant, fixed-asset information, prior close notes and supporting documents for material balances or adjustments.

Can you help if my bookkeeping is behind or messy?

Yes, but catch-up bookkeeping or significant cleanup is different from a focused year-end close. We first assess how current the books are. If several months must be rebuilt or reconciled, we will recommend a custom scope rather than force the work into an unsuitable fixed-price plan.

Which accounting platforms can you work with?

The first enquiry should state the accounting platform you use. Platform fit is confirmed during scope review because the required access, exports and close workflow can differ by system. We do not assume or advertise a specific platform capability until the project scope is reviewed.

Will you post adjusting journal entries directly?

Where system access and the agreed scope allow it, bookkeeping adjustments can be prepared or posted based on approved supporting information. Entries that require management judgment, tax judgment, valuation expertise or auditor approval remain subject to the responsible client, accountant, tax adviser or auditor.

What will I receive at the end of the engagement?

Depending on the plan, you can receive a completed close checklist, reconciliation status, open-item or exception list, adjustment schedule, reviewed financial-statement exports and a year-end handoff pack that makes outstanding questions easier for your internal accountant, external accountant or CPA to review.

Can the scope cover more than one entity or a consolidated group?

Yes, but the fixed plans shown here are structured for one entity. Multiple entities, consolidation requirements, intercompany balances and broader reporting needs should be quoted as a custom engagement so the close calendar, reconciliations and review responsibilities are defined properly.

Are revisions included?

Yes. The Close Check includes one consolidated revision round and the Year-End Close Pack includes up to two consolidated revision rounds. Revisions are intended to refine the agreed close work using additional clarification or support, not to add new entities, historical periods or materially different accounting work.

How do I get started?

Use the enquiry form below and tell us your fiscal year-end, accounting platform, number of financial accounts, current book status and the main close issues you need help with. We will review the requirement and confirm whether a listed plan or a custom scope is the better fit.
