How to automate the month-end close

Close the books in days, not weeks. The routine work runs all month, so month-end is a review – not a rush.

Why month-end is a crunch

Month-end is slow because a month of small jobs piles up at the end. Bank lines are not coded, invoices are still in someone's inbox, and receipts are not allocated. The close itself is simple – it is catching up that takes the time.

How Automize automates month-end close

  1. Reconciles the bank every day

    Statements are fetched, coded and matched daily, so there is no month of bank lines waiting at the end.

  2. Keeps supplier invoices current

    Invoices are captured and posted as they arrive, so the creditors balance is right on the last day.

  3. Keeps customer accounts current

    Receipts are allocated as they land, so the debtors age analysis needs no clean-up.

  4. Builds the reports

    Pulls the trial balance and management reports into the workbook or dashboard you already use.

  5. Hands over the tax figures

    VAT and payroll figures go straight to the tax returns, ready for your sign-off.

What always comes to a person

Automize does the routine work and stops on anything that needs judgement. These always wait for someone on your team:

  • Journals and adjustments that need judgement
  • Signing off the final numbers
  • Every tax return and payment
