Month-end close

Autessa Accounting includes month-end close. Close refuses to run until nothing in the month is waiting for review, every transfer is matched and the books balance, and it lets you fix each blocker right on the close screen. Closing saves every account’s balance, so later reports read one month instead of your whole history.

Closing saves every account’s balance. Later corrections to October are reversing entries.

The problem

A close that is really a checklist in someone’s head

Closing the books means proving the month is finished. When the checks are manual, a waiting transaction or an unmatched card payment slips through and the month has to be reopened. Close runs the checks itself and will not close an unfinished month.

What you get

  • Pick the month to close; the previous month is the default.
  • Blockers: transactions waiting for review, unmatched transfers, and books that do not balance.
  • Fix row-level blockers in place: categorize and approve a waiting transaction, or post approved rows.
  • Closing asks for confirmation, then saves a balance snapshot for every account.
  • After closing, anything dated in that month can only be corrected with a reversing entry.
  • If later changes touch a closed month, Close shows that its saved balances are out of date.
