Year-end closing & audit support that makes December boring
Adjustments posted, every account reconciled, schedules complete, and a tidy file your auditor or tax accountant can work from without a single chasing email.
A disciplined close, documented end to end
Adjusting entries
Depreciation, accruals, prepayments and provisions recorded so the year's numbers are complete.
Final reconciliations
Every bank, card, loan and inter-company account reconciled and signed off one last time.
Supporting schedules
Fixed assets, receivables, payables, inventory and loans — each balance backed by a schedule.
Audit preparation file
Documents indexed against the auditor's request list, so fieldwork starts and finishes faster.
Query handling
We answer auditor and tax-preparer questions directly during the engagement — fewer loops through you.
Period lock & handover
The year locked in your software, final statements archived, and opening balances rolled forward cleanly.
A messy year-end costs you twice
Once in your own December evenings, and again in the fees of every professional who has to untangle it. Auditors and tax preparers bill for time — and disorganized records are slow. A clean close with a complete file is the cheapest audit you'll ever have.
- Shorter audit fieldwork and fewer billable queries
- Statements that agree with the ledger, down to the last entry
- No January surprises rolled into the new year
- A documented trail for every adjustment made
Year-end & audit questions, answered
What is year-end closing in accounting?
Year-end closing is the process of finalizing the books for the financial year: recording adjusting entries like depreciation and accruals, reconciling every account one last time, writing off what needs writing off, and locking the period so the final statements don't move. It turns twelve months of bookkeeping into a finished, defensible set of annual financials.
What is audit preparation support — do you perform the audit?
We prepare you for the audit rather than performing it; the audit itself must be done by an independent external auditor. We get your books audit-ready: complete schedules, reconciliations, supporting documents organized against the auditor's request list, and fast answers to auditor queries during fieldwork. Well-prepared clients get shorter audits and smaller audit fees.
What does an auditor or tax accountant need at year-end?
Typically: a final trial balance, bank reconciliations, aged receivables and payables, fixed asset register with depreciation, loan schedules, inventory counts, payroll summaries and key contracts. We compile exactly this pack — indexed and cross-referenced to the books.
When should year-end closing start?
Preparation ideally starts a month before year-end: reviewing problem accounts, chasing missing documents and planning adjustments. The close itself then takes days instead of weeks. If your year has already ended, we simply start now — late is far better than rushed.
Can you do year-end closing if another firm does our taxes or audit?
Yes — that is the usual arrangement. We close the books and build the supporting file; your tax preparer or auditor works from it. They get clean inputs, you get fewer billable questions from them, and everyone finishes sooner.
